Mcp Google Slides

English | Русский

A1 Google Slides MCP lets an AI app build and edit Google Slides presentations in plain language. Draft a deck, add and rearrange slides, write and style text, place shapes, images and tables, keep speaker notes, review comments and export the result as PDF or PPTX.

It uses the Google Slides API with your Google account. Everything inside a deck is addressed by explicit object ids, and it makes the limits of the Slides API explicit instead of implying that every presentation task is possible.

• 26 tools. Inspect decks and pages, edit slides, text, shapes, images and tables, manage speaker notes and comments, render thumbnails and export files.
• Edits are atomic. Changes ride the API's batchUpdate: one invalid request voids the whole batch, so a deck is never left half-edited.
• Your Drive stays out of reach. Comments, export and local-image upload use the Drive API strictly for the one presentation file — there are no tools to list, share, rename or delete Drive files.
• Minimal Google scopes. It needs presentations; Drive scopes are required only for local images, comments and export.

Start with a read-only question:

Show me the slides in the quarterly report deck and what's on each of them.

You: List the slides of the Q3 review deck and what's on each one.

You: Prepare a new slide after the agenda titled “Roadmap”, with the key dates in the body.

Assistant: Shows the target deck, the layout and the proposed text, then asks for confirmation before adding it.

You: Confirm.

Assistant: Adds the slide and fills its placeholders. It does not touch the other slides.
