Claude + MagicSlides MCP

Make Google Slides with Claude

Claude writes the deck with MagicSlides and hands back a PPTX download. You then bring that PPTX into Google Slides, so you can edit and share it there like any other deck.

Make a 6-slide lesson for high school students on spaced repetition for exam prep. I will teach from Google Slides, so give me the PPTX.

Planned a 6-slide lesson: title, path, two section openers, a hook question and a sign-off
Called get_template_schema (lesson-101, 6 slides)
Wrote the slot copy and called create_presentation_from_slots with stock images
Returned the PPTX link with steps to import it into Google Slides

Your 6-slide lesson is ready. Download the PPTX from the link, then in Google Slides use File, Import slides, or upload the .pptx to Google Drive and open it with Google Slides.

FAQ

Does MagicSlides MCP create a Google Slides file directly?

No. It returns a present link plus PPTX and PDF downloads. Google Slides opens PPTX files, so you import the PPTX to get an editable Google Slides deck.

How do I get the deck into Google Slides?

Download the PPTX from the result link. Then in Google Slides use File, then Import slides, or upload the .pptx to Google Drive and open it with Google Slides.

Will the design survive the import?

Google Slides opens the PPTX with its slides and text, but fonts or effects Google Slides does not support may look a little different. Check each slide after importing.

Can I use this on the free Claude plan?

Yes. The free plan allows one custom connector, so MagicSlides can be that one.
