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

Usage as CLI

This plugin can be used directly as a command-line tool:

bash
# 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"

Usage as MCP Plugin

This plugin can be integrated into an MCP-compatible AI assistant system:

javascript
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

Prerequisites:

Node.js 18+

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-powerpoint": {
      "command": "npx",

Use PowerPoint MCP with multiple AI models

TypingMind connects MCP tools at the workspace level, so once PowerPoint is connected, you can use it with different AI models in TypingMind instead of setting it up separately for each model. This MCP runs locally through the TypingMind MCP connector on your device.

Setup guide to use the local connector

Use this when the MCP server needs access to local files, apps, or private resources on your computer.

Open the MCP settings

In TypingMind, go to Settings, Advanced Settings, then Model Context Protocol and choose Setup Connector.

Open TypingMind in your browser.
Click the Settings icon.
Go to Advanced Settings.
Open the Model Context Protocol section.
Click Setup Connector and choose This Device.

Run the connector command

Choose This Device, copy the command from TypingMind, and run it in Terminal. Keep the process running while you use MCP.

Copy the setup command shown by TypingMind.
Open Terminal on macOS or Windows Terminal on Windows.
Paste and run the command.
Approve the package install if Terminal asks you to proceed.
Keep the Terminal window running while using MCP tools.

Add PowerPoint as a server

When the connector status is Ready, click Edit Servers and paste the MCP server configuration.

Wait until the connector status shows Ready.
Click Edit Servers.
Paste the PowerPoint MCP server configuration.
Save the server list.
Refresh if you want to confirm the connector is still ready.

Use it across models

Save the server list, open Plugins, enable the PowerPoint MCP tools, then select any supported AI model in TypingMind and use the tools in chat or assign them to an AI agent.

Open the Plugins page in TypingMind.
Enable the PowerPoint MCP tools.
Start a chat and choose the AI model you want to use.
Use the MCP tools in chat or assign them to an AI agent.
Switch to another AI model whenever needed without reconnecting MCP.

Frequently asked questions

What is the PowerPoint MCP server used for?

PowerPoint is an MCP server that lets compatible AI clients connect to external tools and context. In TypingMind, you can add this MCP server once and make its tools available in your AI workspace.

Can I use PowerPoint MCP with multiple AI models in TypingMind?

Yes. TypingMind connects MCP tools at the workspace level, so you can use PowerPoint with different AI models such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or other models you have configured in TypingMind without setting up the MCP server separately for each model.

Why use PowerPoint MCP with TypingMind?

TypingMind is one of the best frontends for LLM chat because it brings multiple AI models, prompts, plugins, AI agents, API keys, and MCP tools into one workspace. With PowerPoint connected, you can use its MCP tools across your preferred models while keeping your chat workflow organized in TypingMind.

How do I connect PowerPoint MCP to TypingMind?

PowerPoint runs through the TypingMind local MCP connector. This is best when the MCP server needs access to local files, desktop apps, command-line tools, or private resources on your computer.

What tools does PowerPoint MCP provide in TypingMind?

PowerPoint exposes MCP capabilities that can be enabled from the TypingMind Plugins page and used in chat or assigned to AI agents.

Do I need to share my API keys with TypingMind to use PowerPoint MCP?

No. TypingMind is local-first and lets you keep your model providers, API keys, prompts, and MCP configuration under your control. If PowerPoint requires authentication, add the required headers, OAuth settings, or local configuration for that MCP server when you create the connection.
