With its recent AI makeover, it can do more than just help you write code. You can connect your applications to it and let LLMs automate many of the mundane tasks in your workflow. In this guide, I will explain how to connect Google Slides with VS Code in the most secure and robust way possible via Composio. ## Also integrate Google Slides with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/cursor) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio? Composio provides: - Access to 1,000+ managed apps from a single MCP endpoint. This makes it convenient for agents to run cross-app workflows. - Programmatic tool calling. Allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling. - Large tool response handling outside the LLM context. This minimizes context bloat from large tool responses. - Dynamic just-in-time access to thousands of tools across hundreds of apps. Composio loads the tools your agent needs, so LLMs are not overwhelmed by tools they do not need. ## Connect Google Slides to VS Code ### Integrate Google Slides MCP with VS Code ### 1. Install with one click Click the button below to add Composio to VS Code. You will be prompted to authorize. This requires VS Code 1.99+ with GitHub Copilot. [+Install in VS Code](vscode:mcp/install?%7B%22name%22%3A%22composio%22%2C%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.composio.dev%2Fmcp%22%7D) ### 2. Or add manually Open or create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root and add the following configuration: ```bash { "servers": { "composio": { "type": "http", "url": "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp" } } } ``` ## 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_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_PRESENTATIONS_BATCH_UPDATE` | Update Presentation (Batch/Markdown) | Tool to update existing google slides presentations with either raw api requests or markdown content. **two operation modes:** 1. **raw api mode**: provide direct slides api requests for precise control 2. **markdown mode**: provide markdown text to automatically add professional slides **markdown features:** - professional themes with coordinated colors and backgrounds - dynamic font sizing that prevents overflow (notion-like hierarchy) - smart table auto-sizing with column width optimization - auto-centering and professional positioning - bold formatting, emojis, and multi-line content support - multiple slide types: title, bullet, table, quote, image, two-column **use cases:** - add new slides to existing presentations - update presentation content with markdown - apply professional themes and styling - bulk slide creation with consistent formatting | | `GOOGLESLIDES_PRESENTATIONS_CREATE` | Create Google Slides Presentation | Tool to create a blank or duplicate presentation. use when you need to initialize a presentation with a specific title or duplicate an existing one. | | `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. | | `GOOGLESLIDES_PRESENTATIONS_PAGES_GET_THUMBNAIL` | Get Page Thumbnail | Tool to generate and return a thumbnail image url for a specific page. use when you need a quick preview of a slide page after loading it. | ## 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 Once connected, VS Code can access the Google Slides MCP server via Composio to run the app actions you authorize, directly from your coding workflow. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward Now that Google Slides is connected, extend your setup by connecting the other apps you already use every day, so your agent can run true cross-app workflows end to end. - Connect Calendar to turn threads into scheduled meetings automatically. - Connect Slack or Teams to post summaries, approvals, and alerts where your team works. - Connect Notion, Linear, Jira, or Asana to convert requests into tickets, tasks, and docs. - Connect Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to fetch, file, and share attachments without manual steps. - Connect HubSpot or Salesforce to log customer context, update records, and draft follow-ups. Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single MCP endpoint, your agent can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation. ## How to build Google Slides MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/cursor) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleslides/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Google Sheets](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googlesheets) - Google Sheets is a cloud-based spreadsheet tool for real-time collaboration and data analysis.

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 VS Code? Yes, you can. VS Code 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. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
