SlidesGPT MCP is a presentation generation service that turns prompts into slide decks. Use it to create export-ready PowerPoint files fast, without building slide automation yourself.

2 Tools

Introduction

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 SlidesGPT account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to create investor pitch deck from outline, generate sales strategy PowerPoint for Q4, build product launch slides with 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.

3. Connect your SlidesGPT account

Back in Claude, ask it to connect to SlidesGPT or give it any SlidesGPT-related task.

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Create investor pitch deck from outline"
  • "Generate sales strategy PowerPoint for Q4"
  • "Build product launch slides with notes"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Claude, and your SlidesGPT account is ready to use.

What is the SlidesGPT Claude Connector, and what's possible with it?

The SlidesGPT MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your SlidesGPT account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform SlidesGPT operations on your behalf.

Troubleshooting

1. Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for SlidesGPT?

The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each SlidesGPT conversation.

  • Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /.
  • Hover Connectors.
  • Turn on Composio.
  • Ask Claude to connect to SlidesGPT again.

2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before SlidesGPT connects?

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for SlidesGPT.

  • Check that the connector URL is https://connect.composio.dev/mcp.
  • Connectors run from Anthropic's cloud, so your device network is usually not the problem.
  • Add the connector again from Customize > Connectors, then ask Claude to connect SlidesGPT.
  • If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

3. Why does the SlidesGPT authorization link not work?

The Composio connector is one server. Your SlidesGPT account connects separately when Claude asks for it.

  • If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the SlidesGPT connection.
  • Composio creates a fresh SlidesGPT authorization link.
  • Open that link in your browser and finish the SlidesGPT sign-in.

4. Why do SlidesGPT actions fail after they worked before?

The SlidesGPT connection can expire or lose permission.

  • Ask Claude to inspect the SlidesGPT connection.
  • If the connection is unhealthy, disconnect it when Claude prompts you.
  • Reconnect the SlidesGPT account and retry the action.
  • If Claude shows a permission prompt, approve it before Claude changes data in SlidesGPT.
  • If the action still fails with a permission error, check that the connected account has that permission in SlidesGPT itself.

5. How do I switch to a different SlidesGPT account?

Claude can manage the SlidesGPT connection for you.

  • Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current SlidesGPT account.
  • Ask Claude to connect SlidesGPT again.
  • Open the new Composio authorization link for SlidesGPT.
  • Sign in with the other SlidesGPT account in the browser.
  • After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the SlidesGPT task.

6. Why is my SlidesGPT connection missing in Claude Desktop or on a Team plan?

The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your SlidesGPT connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork.

  • In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
  • Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
  • If SlidesGPT tools still do not appear, click ⋮, disconnect, remove the connector, and add it again.
  • On Team or Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner must enable the connector before you can connect SlidesGPT.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone SlidesGPT MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of SlidesGPT tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from SlidesGPT 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 SlidesGPT tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which SlidesGPT 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.

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 SlidesGPT data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
