    • 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:
