Office PowerPoint MCP Server

Content

Office PowerPoint MCP Server lets MCP clients create, inspect, format, and update Microsoft PowerPoint presentations. It exposes deck management, content creation, text formatting, image handling, shapes, tables, charts, themes, templates, fonts, hyperlinks, slide masters, connectors, and transition tools.

The upstream README documents local installation and uvx usage through the office-powerpoint-mcp-server PyPI package. The package exposes the ppt_mcp_server command for MCP clients.

Features

• Create and open presentation files.
• Add, delete, duplicate, reorder, and inspect slides.
• Add and format text boxes, paragraphs, tables, images, shapes, and charts.
• Apply themes, templates, fonts, transitions, connectors, and slide masters.
• Inspect presentation structure and slide content.
• Save updated decks for later review or sharing.

Installation

For MCP clients that launch stdio servers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "powerpoint": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "office-powerpoint-mcp-server", "ppt_mcp_server"]
    }
  }
}

Restart the MCP client after adding the server.

Use Cases

• Ask Claude to draft a structured slide deck from an outline.
• Add charts, tables, and diagrams to an existing presentation.
• Apply consistent typography and theme choices across slides.
• Generate presentation templates for repeatable reporting workflows.
• Inspect a deck before review and extract slide-level structure.
• Update product, sales, training, or executive briefing decks with new content.

Safety and Privacy

Presentation automation can quickly change important decks. Keep backups, use a review step before sharing outputs, and require human approval before exporting, publishing, deleting, or broadly reformatting important presentations.

PowerPoint files can contain sensitive business plans, customer data, product screenshots, charts, embedded images, and hidden metadata. Review generated files, extracted content, and any saved deck before sharing it outside the trusted project boundary.
