SlideSpeak MCP Server

What does “SlideSpeak” MCP Server do?

The SlideSpeak MCP Server acts as a bridge between AI assistants and the SlideSpeak API, enabling seamless creation of PowerPoint presentations through automated workflows. By exposing the SlideSpeak API as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, it allows users and developers to generate slide decks, automate reporting, and create presentations programmatically. This significantly enhances development workflows by letting AI agents interact with external presentation services, streamlining the process of producing, customizing, and delivering presentation content without manual effort. SlideSpeak MCP is ideal for anyone who needs to automate the generation of PowerPoint files in response to tasks or data, making it especially useful in business, education, and analytics settings.

How to use this MCP inside flows

Using MCP in FlowHunt

To integrate MCP servers into your FlowHunt workflow, start by adding the MCP component to your flow and connecting it to your AI agent:

Click on the MCP component to open the configuration panel. In the system MCP configuration section, insert your MCP server details using this JSON format:

{
  "slidespeak": {
    "transport": "streamable_http",
    "url": "https://yourmcpserver.example/pathtothemcp/url"
  }
}

Once configured, the AI agent is now able to use this MCP as a tool with access to all its functions and capabilities. Remember to change "slidespeak" to whatever the actual name of your MCP server is and replace the URL with your own MCP server URL.

Overview

Our opinion

The SlideSpeak MCP server is straightforward and focused on a single use case—PowerPoint automation via SlideSpeak API. However, the repository lacks detailed MCP interface documentation, prompt templates, resources, or explicit tool listings, which limits extensibility and clarity for developers. Its setup instructions for Claude are clear and API key security is addressed, but broader platform support and richer documentation would be beneficial.

Based on the two tables and available information, I would rate this MCP server a 3/10 for general MCP developer usability and completeness.
