python setup_mcp.py

This script will:

  • Check prerequisites

  • Offer installation options:

    • Install from PyPI (recommended for most users)

    • Set up local development environment

  • Install required dependencies

  • Generate the appropriate MCP configuration file

  • Provide instructions for integrating with Claude Desktop

The script offers different paths based on your environment:

  • If you have uvx installed, it will configure using UVX (recommended)

  • If the server is already installed, it provides configuration options

  • If the server is not installed, it offers installation methods

Option 2: Manual Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/GongRzhe/Office-PowerPoint-MCP-Server.git cd Office-PowerPoint-MCP-Server

  2. Install dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  3. Make the server executable:

    chmod +x ppt_mcp_server.py

Usage

Display help text:

python ppt_mcp_server.py -h

Starting the Stdio Server

Run the stdio server:

python ppt_mcp_server.py

Starting the Streamable-Http Server

Run the streamable-http server on port 8000:

python ppt_mcp_server.py --transport http --port 8000

Run in Docker
