GenPPT MCP Server: AI Slide Decks, Pitch Decks & PowerPoint (.pptx) Export

Generate presentation-ready slide decks, investor pitch decks, consulting slides, and executive briefings from a prompt, outline, notes, or website URL—and export finished presentations to native PowerPoint (.pptx), PDF, or high-resolution slide images directly from Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and Codex.

claude mcp add --transport http genppt https://genppt.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer gppt_YOUR_KEY"

This repository contains the configuration manifests, plugin definitions, and agent skills for the hosted GenPPT Streamable HTTP MCP server at https://genppt.com/mcp.

Setup Instructions

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http genppt https://genppt.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer gppt_YOUR_KEY"

Run /mcp inside Claude Code to verify that genppt is connected and its 8 tools are available.

Cursor

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json in your project:

{

"mcpServers": { "genppt": { "url": "https://genppt.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer gppt_YOUR_KEY" } } } }

Claude Desktop and claude.ai

In Claude Desktop or claude.ai, open Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector:

• Name: GenPPT
• URL: https://genppt.com/mcp

Or in claude_desktop_config.json / .mcp.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "genppt": { "type": "http", "url": "https://genppt.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer gppt_YOUR_KEY" } } } }

VS Code

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json (VS Code uses servers):

{

"servers": { "genppt": { "type": "http", "url": "https://genppt.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer gppt_YOUR_KEY" } } } }

OpenAI Codex CLI

Add this to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.genppt]

url = "https://genppt.com/mcp" http_headers = { "Authorization" = "Bearer gppt_YOUR_KEY" }

Install the Agent Skill

Install the GenPPT agent workflow skill for Claude Code, Cursor, or any skills-compatible coding agent:

npx skills add Illyism/genppt-mcp

Or install via the Claude Code plugin marketplace:

claude plugin marketplace add Illyism/genppt-mcp

claude plugin install genppt@genppt-mcp

How Deck Generation Works

1. Create a deck (`genppt_create_deck`): Pass a prompt (topic, outline, rough notes, or pasted document), optional aspectRatio (16:9, 9:16, 4:5, 1:1), optional websiteUrl to ground the deck in a live site, and optional attachmentUrls (images, PDFs, or YouTube URLs).
2. Review the concept preview (`genppt_get_deck`): Poll every 30–60 seconds until phase is concepts_ready. The server returns conceptPreviewUrl so your chat client can render the visual concept sheet inline.
3. Render full slides (`genppt_generate_slides`): Once the concept is approved, trigger full slide rendering (1–3 minutes) and poll genppt_get_deck until phase is ready.
4. Export (`genppt_export_deck`): Export the finished presentation to pptx (PowerPoint), pdf (PDF), or images (ZIP of slide images) and receive a direct downloadUrl.
