## Introduction

### How to integrate Google Slides MCP with Grok Build
[Grok Build](https://docs.x.ai/build/overview) is xAI's terminal coding agent. It runs on Grok 4.5, plans its work before it acts, and can run multiple sub-agents in parallel. It also reads Claude Code's MCP configuration, so any server you already have in a .mcp.json is picked up with no changes.
In this guide, I will show you how to connect your Google Slides account to Grok Build through Composio, so it can turn this meeting summary into slides, add a new slide with project milestones, update presentation with these markdown notes, and more without leaving the terminal. Composio holds the OAuth tokens for you, and Grok Build only calls the tools you approve.

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio over a standalone MCP server?
- Read and write access. Composio's Google Slides integration lets Grok Build take real actions like creating drafts, sending updates, and labeling records, not just reading data.
- 1,000+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. One endpoint gives you a full catalog of pre-built connectors, from Gmail and Slack to Notion, Linear, and Salesforce.
- One MCP server for every app. Wire up a single Composio server instead of maintaining a separate MCP entry for each app.
- Smart, context-aware tool loading. Grok Build caps how many tools it holds in a single request. Composio loads only the tools a task needs, so you do not spend that budget on tools you are not using.
- Cross-app automation. Chain actions across apps in one run. Pull a thread, summarize it in Notion, and post the highlights to Slack from a single prompt.

## Connect Google Slides to Grok Build

### Prerequisites
- Grok Build installed and signed in. Install with curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash on macOS or Linux, or irm https://x.ai/cli/install.ps1 | iex on Windows PowerShell. On first launch Grok opens a browser to authenticate; for headless or CI use, set an XAI_API_KEY environment variable instead (create the key at [console.x.ai](https://console.x.ai/)).
- Access to the Google Slides account you want to connect.
- The [Composio MCP endpoint](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=grok-build&utm_content=composio_connect). Composio's server is remote and hosted, so there is nothing to run locally and no tunnel to set up.
### Step-by-step: Connect Google Slides to Grok Build
### 1. Install and verify Grok Build
Install the CLI, then restart your shell so the grok binary lands on your PATH:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash
which grok
```

## 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

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is the difference between the Composio Tool Router and a standalone Google Slides MCP server?

A standalone Google Slides MCP server gives Grok Build a fixed set of Google Slides tools tied to that one server. The Composio Tool Router lets Grok Build load tools from Google Slides and many other apps on demand, based on the task, all through a single endpoint.

### Does Grok Build support MCP?

Yes. Grok Build ships with native MCP support. Add a server with the grok mcp add command, from the in-session /mcps modal, or by editing ~/.grok/config.toml. It also reads Claude Code-style .mcp.json files, so Grok Build discovers the tools automatically.

### Can I reuse the same MCP config I already use with Claude Code?

Yes. Grok Build has zero-migration compatibility with Claude Code's configuration, so the same Composio server entry works in both without edits.

### How safe is my Google Slides data with Composio?

Tokens, keys, and configuration are encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, so your Google Slides data and credentials are handled to that standard.
