How to connect Google Slides to Claude

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available on the web, in the desktop app, and on mobile. Cowork is its agent for knowledge work, and it runs on all of those surfaces too. Connected to your apps, Claude can work with your files and services to accomplish complex tasks on your behalf.

This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Google Slides account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to turn this meeting summary into slides, add a new slide with project milestones, update presentation with these markdown notes, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Setup is the same on Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork, and you only need to do it once. The connector is tied to your account, so it's available in all three.

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.
