Create and edit PowerPoint presentations, apply themes, add slides and export to PDF quickly using pptxgenjs and officeg
Creates and edits PowerPoint presentations programmatically, allowing you to build slides, add content, and export to PDF through code or AI assistants.
PowerPoint is a community-built MCP server published by islem-zaraa that provides AI assistants with tools and capabilities via the Model Context Protocol. Create and edit PowerPoint presentations, apply themes, add slides and export to PDF quickly using pptxgenjs and officeg It is categorized under productivity, design.
You can install PowerPoint in your AI client of choice. Use the install panel on this page to get one-click setup for Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible clients. This server runs locally on your machine via the stdio transport.

PowerPoint is released under the MIT license. This is a permissive open-source license, meaning you can freely use, modify, and distribute the software.
Add new capabilities to Claude beyond text generation
Example
Access external data sources, execute code, interact with tools and services
Transform Claude from chatbot to action-taking agent
Provide Claude with access to relevant context and data
Example
Load project documentation, access knowledge bases, query databases
Get more accurate, context-aware responses
Automate multi-step workflows combining AI and external tools
Example
Research → Summarize → Create document → Send notification
Complete complex tasks end-to-end without manual steps
Share your MCP server with the developer community
I recommend PowerPoint for teams standardizing on MCP; the explainx.ai page compares cleanly with sibling servers.
PowerPoint is among the better-indexed MCP projects we tried; the explainx.ai summary tracks the official description.
Useful MCP listing: PowerPoint is the kind of server we cite when onboarding engineers to host + tool permissions.
PowerPoint reduced integration guesswork — categories and install configs on the listing matched the upstream repo.

PowerPoint is a well-scoped MCP server in the explainx.ai directory — install snippets and categories matched our Claude Code setup.

Strong directory entry: PowerPoint surfaces stars and publisher context so we could sanity-check maintenance before adopting.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) plugin for PowerPoint operations, allowing AI assistants to create and manipulate PowerPoint presentations programmatically.
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/islem-zaraa/mcp-powerpoint.git
# Navigate to the project directory
cd mcp-powerpoint
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Link for local development
npm link
This plugin can be used directly as a command-line tool:
# Create a new presentation
mcp-powerpoint create --outputPath="presentation.pptx" --title="My Presentation"
# Add a slide to an existing presentation
mcp-powerpoint add-slide --file="presentation.pptx" --title="New Slide" --content="This is the content of the slide"
# Get slides from a presentation
mcp-powerpoint get-slides --file="presentation.pptx"
# Export presentation to PDF
mcp-powerpoint export-pdf --file="presentation.pptx" --outputPath="presentation.pdf"
# Read presentation metadata
mcp-powerpoint read --file="presentation.pptx"
This plugin can be integrated into an MCP-compatible AI assistant system:
const mcpPowerPointPlugin = require('mcp-powerpoint/src/mcp-plugin');
// Register the plugin with your MCP system
mcpSystem.registerPlugin(mcpPowerPointPlugin);
// Now the AI can use the PowerPoint functions through the MCP protocol
// Example function calls:
// - mcp_powerpoint_create_presentation
// - mcp_powerpoint_add_slide
// - mcp_powerpoint_get_slides
// - mcp_powerpoint_export_to_pdf
// - mcp_powerpoint_read_presentation
Creates a new PowerPoint presentation.

💡 Pro Tips
Architecture
Model Context Protocol standardizes how AI hosts (Claude, Cursor) communicate with external tools and data sources through server implementations.
Protocols
Compatibility
✓ Use when
Use when you need Claude to access external data, execute actions, or integrate with tools. Best for extending AI capabilities beyond conversation.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid when native integrations exist (use official APIs directly), for real-time critical systems, or when security/compliance requires zero external dependencies.
