The PowerPoint MCP Server allows you to programmatically create, modify, and manage PowerPoint presentations with various features:
- Create & Edit: Create new presentations or open and edit existing ones (with automatic backups)
- Add Various Slides: Insert title slides, section headers, content slides, comparison slides, and slides with tables, charts, or images
- Dynamic Content: Generate tables and charts from provided data
- Image Capabilities: Generate images via Stable Diffusion API or use existing images
- Save & Export: Save presentations to specified folders
- Integration: Works with MCP clients like Claude Desktop for seamless workflow integration
- Configuration: Supports environment variables for API access and file paths
Powerpoint MCP server
A MCP server project that creates powerpoint presentations
Main Changes of this fork
Uses Stable Diffusion (ForgeUI/Automatic-1111) API instead of together ai.
Components
Tools
The server implements multiple tools:
create-presentation
: Starts a presentation- Takes "name" as required string arguments
- Creates a presentation object
add-slide-title-only
: Adds a title slide to the presentation- Takes "presentation_name" and "title" as required string arguments
- Creates a title slide with "title" and adds it to presentation
add-slide-section-header
: Adds a section header slide to the presentation- Takes "presentation_name" and "header" as required string arguments
- Creates a section header slide with "header" (and optionally "subtitle") and adds it to the presentation
add-slide-title-content
: Adds a title with content slide to the presentation- Takes "presentation_name", "title", "content" as required string arguments
- Creates a title with content slide with "title" and "content" and adds it to presentation
add-slide-title-with-table
: Adds a title slide with a table- Takes "presentation_name", "title", "data" as required string and array arguments
- Creates a title slide with "title" and adds a table dynamically built from data
add-slide-title-with-chart
: Adds a title slide with a chart- Takes "presentation_name", "title", "data" as required string and object arguments
- Creates a title slide with "title" and adds a chart dynamically built from data. Attempts to figure out the best type of chart from the data source.
add-slide-picture-with-caption
: Adds a picture with caption slide- Takes "presentation_name", "title", "caption", "image_path" as required string arguments
- Creates a picture with caption slide using the supplied "title", "caption", and "image_path". Can either use images created via the "generate-and-save-image" tool or use an "image_path" supplied by the user (image must exist in folder_path)
open-presentation
: Opens a presentation for editing- Takes "presentation_name" as required arguments
- Opens the given presentation and automatically saves a backup of it as "backup.pptx"
- This tool allows the client to work with existing pptx files and add slides to them. Just make sure the client calls "save-presentation" tool at the end.
save-presentation
: Saves the presentation to a file.- Takes "presentation_name" as required arguments.
- Saves the presentation to the folder_path. The client must call this tool to finalize the process.
generate-and-save-image
: Generates an image for the presentation using a T2I model- Takes "prompt" and "file_name" as required string arguments
- Creates an image using stable diffusion api (ForgeUI/Automatic1111)
Configuration
An environment variable is required for image generation via ForgeUI API
A folder_path is required. All presentations and images will be saved to this folder.
Quickstart
Install
Make sure you have UV installed
MacOS/Linux
Windows
Clone the repo
Claude Desktop (works with any mcp client)
On MacOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
--directory
: the path where you cloned the repo above (ex: /full/path/to/powerpoint-mcp/src)--folder-path
: the path where powerpoint decks and images will be saved to. Also the path where you should place any images you want the MCP server to use.
Usage Examples
Assuming you have SQLite MCP Server installed.
