Give Your AI Agent Slide Superpowers
SlideForge is a native MCP server that lets AI agents generate consulting-quality PowerPoint files. Connect Claude Desktop or Cursor in 30 seconds with OAuth 2.1 — no API key, no setup, no configuration.
The problem: AI agents can't create real deliverables
AI agents are great at text. They can research, analyze, summarize, and write. But when a user asks “make me a slide deck”, most agents hit a wall.
Claude's built-in Code Interpreter can generate .pptx files, but the results are “functional, not beautiful” — inconsistent fonts, no design system, no brand colors. ChatGPT produces text-only slides with no visual design. Gamma makes pretty web presentations that break on PowerPoint export.
The gap: no tool gives AI agents the ability to produce native .pptx files with consulting-grade visual quality, in seconds, at scale.
How SlideForge solves it
1. Connect in 30 seconds
Add one URL to your MCP config. OAuth 2.1 handles auth automatically — no API key, no mcp-remote, no environment variables.
{
"mcpServers": {
"slideforge": {
"url": "https://api.slideforge.dev/mcp/"
}
}
}2. Agent searches templates
Your agent calls search_templates or suggest_template to find the right template for the user's request. 50+ templates cover KPI dashboards, SWOT, timelines, funnels, comparisons, data tables, and more.
3. Agent generates the slide
Template render: <1 second, $0.03. AI creative: ~30 seconds, $0.20. The agent gets an inline preview image to verify quality before delivering to the user.
4. Agent iterates with feedback
User says “make the title bigger” or “add a third column”. The agent calls iterate_slide with the feedback. Visual QA auto-checks the result. No human review needed.

Frequently asked questions
How do I connect SlideForge to Claude Desktop?
Add one line to your Claude Desktop MCP config: {"mcpServers": {"slideforge": {"url": "https://api.slideforge.dev/mcp/"}}}. Claude discovers OAuth automatically, opens your browser for Google login, and you're connected. No API key needed.
What can my AI agent do with SlideForge?
Your agent gets 12 MCP tools: search templates, render slides from data, generate custom layouts from briefs, iterate with feedback, build multi-slide decks, manage themes, and check job status with inline preview images. The agent sees the slide preview and can self-iterate to improve quality.
How much does it cost for AI agent usage?
Template renders cost $0.03/slide (<1 second). AI-generated custom slides cost $0.20 (~30s, pro quality). No subscription — pay per slide. Free $3 credit on signup.
Does it work with agents other than Claude?
Yes. Any MCP-compatible client works (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, custom agents). For non-MCP agents, use the REST API directly with any HTTP client.
