          .string()
          .min(1)
          .describe("Target presentation that will receive the new slide."),
        prompt: z
          .string()
          .min(1)
          .describe("Instruction describing the content or intent of the new slide."),

    },
    async (args) => {
      try {

      } catch (error) {
        return normalizeError(error);
      }
    },
  );

• src/index.js:237-262 (schema)

  Input schema for the create_slide tool, defining presentation_id, prompt, slide_type, insert_after_slide_id, theme_id, and vibe_id with Zod validations.

  inputSchema: {
    presentation_id: z
      .string()
      .min(1)
      .describe("Target presentation that will receive the new slide."),
    prompt: z
      .string()
      .min(1)
      .describe("Instruction describing the content or intent of the new slide."),
    slide_type: z
      .enum(["classic", "creative"])
      .optional()
      .describe("Choose classic for structured content or creative for more visual exploration."),
    insert_after_slide_id: z
      .string()
      .optional()

    theme_id: z
      .string()

      .optional()
      .describe("Optional vibe override for the new slide."),

• src/index.js:264-270 (handler)

  Handler function for create_slide that proxies the call to the remote Alai MCP endpoint via callRemoteTool.

  async (args) => {
    try {
      return await callRemoteTool("create_slide", args);
    } catch (error) {
      return normalizeError(error);
    }
  },

• src/index.js:22-43 (helper)

  Generic helper function callRemoteTool that creates a temporary MCP client, connects to the remote Alai server, and calls the named tool with the provided arguments.

  async function callRemoteTool(name, args) {
    const client = new Client(
      { name: "alai-mcp-wrapper", version: "1.0.2" },
      { capabilities: {} },
    );
    const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(new URL(REMOTE_MCP_URL), {
      requestInit: {
        headers: createRemoteHeaders(),
      },
    });
  
    try {
      await client.connect(transport);
      return await client.callTool({
        name,
        arguments: args,
      });
    } finally {
      await transport.close().catch(() => {});
      await client.close().catch(() => {});
    }
  }
