What is Claude Cowork?

Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agent for general knowledge work. It can use your computer, files, and connected applications to complete longer-running tasks across your work tools.

With Composio Connect, Cowork can securely access apps like Google Slides through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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.

Yes, you can. Claude Cowork 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.

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.
