MCP Server for PowerPoint

mcp-name: io.github.sbroenne/mcp-server-powerpoint

A Model Context Protocol server that automates Microsoft PowerPoint for AI assistants. It drives a live PowerPoint desktop instance via COM automation, so decks are created and edited exactly as they would be by hand — then exported to images so an AI can visually verify its own work.

Windows only. Requires Microsoft PowerPoint (desktop) to be installed.

Install

dotnet tool install --global Sbroenne.PowerPointMcp.McpServer

This installs the mcp-powerpoint command. Point your MCP client (Claude Desktop, VS Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.) at it over stdio:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "powerpoint": {
      "command": "mcp-powerpoint"
    }
  }
}

Capabilities

16 tools with 187 operations across 16 domains:

Tool Ops Coverage
presentation 20 create, open, Save As, Save Copy As, close, list, templates, get/set final, document properties, string tags
slide 23 slide lifecycle, backgrounds, sections, comments, import, string tags
shape 47 shape creation, styling, grouping, hyperlinks, placeholders, string tags, get-link-info, update-link, break-link, set-link-auto-update

export 3 export to PDF or images

Every domain is exposed as a single action-dispatch tool taking an action parameter — including presentation. Example MCP calls:

  • presentation(action="create", filePath="C:\\Decks\\demo.pptx")
  • presentation(action="apply-template", sessionId="...", templatePath="C:\\Templates\\brand.potx")
  • chart(action="add-chart", session_id="...", slide_index=2, ...)

How it works

ComInterop (STA thread + OLE message filter) → Core (domain command classes) → PowerPointMcp.Service (shared service layer) → McpServer (stdio host, calling the service in-process) and CLI (talks to the same service via a background named-pipe daemon). Each open presentation is a session identified by a sessionId; tools operate on a session until it is closed.
