## TL;DR

Here's what you'll learn:
- Get and set up your Claude/Anthropic and Composio API keys
- Install the necessary dependencies
- Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Google Slides
- Configure an AI agent that can use Google Slides as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Google Slides operations

## What is Claude Agent SDK?

The Claude Agent SDK is Anthropic's official framework for building AI agents powered by Claude. It provides a streamlined interface for creating agents with MCP tool support and conversation management.
Key features include:
- Native MCP Support: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers
- Permission Modes: Control tool execution permissions
- Streaming Responses: Real-time response streaming for interactive applications
- Context Manager: Clean async context management for sessions

## What is the Google Slides MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Google Slides MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Google Slides account. It provides structured and secure access to your presentations, so your agent can create slides from markdown, update existing decks, fetch presentation details, and generate slide previews on your behalf.
- Create presentations and slides automatically: Let your agent generate brand new Google Slides decks or add slides using markdown or templates for fast, professional results.
- Bulk update presentations with markdown: Effortlessly refresh or enhance existing decks by sending markdown content or batch updates, applying themes, smart formatting, and more.
- Fetch and inspect presentation details: Retrieve up-to-date information for entire presentations or specific slides, layouts, and notes to keep track of content and structure.
- Generate slide thumbnails for previews: Instantly produce thumbnail images of any slide page, making it easy to review or share snapshots of your presentations.
- Duplicate and initialize presentations: Quickly create blank presentations or duplicate existing ones to streamline your workflow and maintain consistency across projects.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `GOOGLESLIDES_PRESENTATIONS_CREATE` | Create Google Slides Presentation | Tool to create a blank Google Slides presentation. Use when you need to initialize a new presentation with a specific title, locale, or page size. |
| `GOOGLESLIDES_CREATE_SLIDES_MARKDOWN` | Create Slides from Markdown | Creates a new Google Slides presentation from Markdown text. Automatically splits content into slides using '---' separators and applies appropriate templates based on content structure. |
| `GOOGLESLIDES_GET_PAGE_THUMBNAIL2` | Get Page Thumbnail v2 | Tool to generate a thumbnail of the latest version of a specified page. Use when you need a preview image URL for a slide page. This request counts as an expensive read request for quota purposes. |
| `GOOGLESLIDES_PRESENTATIONS_BATCH_UPDATE` | Update Presentation (Batch/Markdown) | Update Google Slides presentations using markdown content or raw API text. Supports professional themes, auto-formatting, and multiple slide types (title, bullet, table, quote, image, two-column). |
| `GOOGLESLIDES_PRESENTATIONS_COPY_FROM_TEMPLATE` | Copy Google Slides from Template | Tool to create a new Google Slides presentation by duplicating an existing template deck via Drive file copy. Use when you need to preserve themes, masters, and layouts exactly as they appear in the template. After copying, use GOOGLESLIDES_PRESENTATIONS_BATCH_UPDATE to replace placeholder text or images. |
| `GOOGLESLIDES_PRESENTATIONS_GET` | Get Presentation | Tool to retrieve the latest version of a presentation. Use after obtaining the presentation ID. |
| `GOOGLESLIDES_PRESENTATIONS_PAGES_GET` | Get Presentation Page | Tool to get the latest version of a specific page in a presentation. Use when you need to inspect slide, layout, master, or notes page details. |

## Supported Triggers

| Trigger slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `GOOGLESLIDES_SLIDE_ADDED_TRIGGER` | New Slide Added | Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation. |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Google Slides MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Google Slides. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Google Slides operations on your behalf through a secure, permission-based interface.
With Composio's managed implementation, you don't have to create your own developer app. For production, if you're building an end product, we recommend using your own credentials. The managed server helps you prototype fast and go from 0-1 faster.

## Step-by-step Guide

### 1. Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:
- Composio API Key and Claude/Anthropic API Key
- Primary know-how of Claude Agents SDK
- A Google Slides account
- Some knowledge of Python

### 1. Getting API Keys for Claude/Anthropic and Composio

Claude/Anthropic API Key
- Go to the [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/organization/api-keys) and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models.
- Keep the API key safe.
Composio API Key
- Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs).
- Navigate to your API settings and generate a new API key.
- Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication.

### 2. Install dependencies

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file in your project root.
What's happening:
- COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio
- USER_ID identifies the user for session management
- ANTHROPIC_API_KEY authenticates with Anthropic/Claude
```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key_here
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Google Slides MCP?

With a standalone Google Slides MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Google Slides tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Google Slides and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Agent SDK?

Yes, you can. Claude Agent SDK fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Google Slides tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Google Slides while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Google Slides scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Google Slides data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
