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 browses the catalog
Your agent calls browse_catalog to inspect the gallery, or just calls create_slide(mode="brief") and lets the intent engine pick the right layout. 40+ components cover KPI dashboards, SWOT, timelines, funnels, comparisons, data tables, and more.
3. Agent generates the slide
Both render modes (brief / code) return a real .pptx in under a second — deterministic, $0.05/slide. Brief is bounded and free on refusal. 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 create_slide(mode="brief") again with a modified intent — refining a slide is just a fresh $0.05 brief render (free on refusal). The agent gets a new inline preview to verify. 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 7 MCP tools: create slides (brief / code modes), build multi-slide decks, browse the catalog gallery + 40+ components + themes, translate decks, upload assets, and check account status — with data-driven reports and connections coming soon. The agent sees every slide preview inline and can self-iterate.
How much does it cost for AI agent usage?
Two render modes — brief and code — both $0.05/slide. Brief (the default) renders deterministically in under a second; it's bounded and free on refusal, and an identical input is free. Code runs your python-pptx in the sandbox in ~0.5 second and always bills on success. No subscription — pay per slide. 60 free slides 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.
