## Introduction

Grok is xAI's assistant, and its bot builder lets you create a personal agent that holds context, runs skills, and connects to the apps you already use through plugins.
This guide explains how to connect SlidesGPT to a Grok bot using Composio Connect, which handles OAuth, token refresh, and reliability so you do not have to. You add Composio as a plugin, authenticate once, then ask your bot to work with SlidesGPT in plain language.

## Also integrate SlidesGPT MCP with

- [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/slidesgpt_mcp/framework/chatgpt)
- [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/slidesgpt_mcp/framework/claude-cowork)

## TL;DR

Composio exposes 1,500+ apps to your Grok bot through a single connection, so you get:
- Connect to 1,500+ apps with on-demand tool loading, so you do not fill your context window with unnecessary tool definitions.
- Use programmatic tool calling through a remote workbench, letting the model write its own code to handle complex tool chaining. This reduces back-and-forth for frequent tool calls.
- Handle large tool responses outside the model context to keep conversations lean.

## Connect SlidesGPT MCP to Grok Bot

### Connecting SlidesGPT to Grok Bot
Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect SlidesGPT entirely from its interface, and the whole flow takes under a minute.
### Set up Grok Bot
Get access. Grok Bot is included with Cursor Ultra, Cursor Premium Teams, and SuperGrok Heavy. Get the desktop app for macOS or Windows from [x.ai/bot](https://x.ai/bot) and sign in. An iPhone companion app is also available, and your bots sync across devices.
Create a bot. Pick a suggested role or define your own, then give it a short name, one primary job, and a short description of how it should work. Focused bots work best, because a clear role gives the bot more useful context over time.
### Connect SlidesGPT
### 1. Add the Composio plugin
Click the button. The Composio listing on x.ai opens and launches Grok Bot for you. If the app does not open on its own, click Add to Grok Bot.
[Add to Grok Bot](https://x.ai/bot/plugin/32661537)
Grok Bot opens the Composio plugin, showing its connector and skills. Click Add.
### 2. Authenticate
Go to the Installed section and click the Composio entry. You'll see its connector and skills listed.
Click Authenticate. You'll be taken to the Composio consent screen. Review the access it requests and click Authorize. Composio handles the OAuth handshake for you, so you never touch API keys or tokens.
### 3. Connect your SlidesGPT account
Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to SlidesGPT or give it any SlidesGPT task.
For example, ask it 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 your Grok bot, and your SlidesGPT account is ready to use.

## What is Grok Bot?

Grok is xAI's assistant, available as a chat interface and a bot builder for creating personal agents that run skills and connect to external apps.
With Composio Connect, your Grok bot can securely access apps like SlidesGPT through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

## What is the SlidesGPT MCP server, 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 SlidesGPT. It provides structured and secure access to presentation creation and visual themes, so your agent can generate presentations, create individual slides, build complete slide decks, and restyle presentations on your behalf.
- Presentation generation: Have your agent turn a clear prompt into a professional presentation.
- Complete slide deck creation: Direct your agent to create multiple slides for a topic, proposal, lesson, or report.
- Individual slide creation: Let the agent produce one or more professional slides for the content you specify.
- Presentation theme updates: Instruct your agent to apply a visual theme that restyles the entire presentation.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `SLIDESGPT_MCP_APPLY_THEME` | Apply theme | Apply a visual theme to re-style the entire presentation. WHEN TO USE: - User says "apply Tokyo Dark theme", "change theme to Paris", etc. - User wants to customize the presentation appearance AVAILABLE THEMES (18 total): • Urban: copenhagen, tokyo, paris, berlin, new-york, la, zurich, shanghai (each has -light and -dark variants) • Gradient: cosmic-pulse-light/dark REQUIRES: presentation_id from previous slide creation. This re-renders all slides with the new theme. |
| `SLIDESGPT_MCP_CREATE_SLIDES` | Create slides | Create one or more professional presentation slides. Pass a single slide in the array for one slide, or multiple slides for a full deck. Use when the user asks for slides, a presentation, or a deck. If the request is ambiguous about count, default to 2-3 slides. ATTACHED PDFs / DOCUMENTS: Claude ingests user-attached files as document content blocks directly in the conversation. Read the document content from the conversation and pass the relevant material (topic, structure, key points) into this tool's slides argument — there is no separate file upload step. USAGE NOTES: - Pass all slides for one request in a single call rather than multiple sequential calls. - To add to an existing presentation, pass the presentation_id from the previous response. For a new presentation, pass an empty string. - EDITING an existing slide: pass ONLY that slide, with its existing slidenum (from the previous response) and force_edit: true, plus the same presentation_id. This overwrites the slide in place. Do NOT resend the whole deck and do NOT omit force_edit, or a duplicate slide will be appended instead. IMAGES: Provide image_caption for every slide — describe the ideal slide image in 5-6 words (subject, setting, mood). Leave image_id empty; the system uses your caption to find the best matching photo. THEMES: If the user asked for a specific theme, pass theme_id here rather than calling apply_theme separately afterwards. LAYOUT VARIETY (for multi-slide decks): - Use a variety of layouts across the deck, matching each layout to the slide's content. - Prefer "title_and_two_columns" (image layout) for the first content slide. - Use "title_and_body" for at most 1 slide (conclusion only), and avoid repeating the same layout on consecutive slides. - Use metric_rings only for percentage-based metrics (0-100). - Mix image slides, charts, timelines, grids, and text slides. LAYOUT OPTIONS (set layout for every slide): - "title_and_two_columns": Content with image alongside bullets (IMAGE LAYOUT) - "title_and_two_to_four_columns_with_icons": 2-4 key points with icons (good default) - "title_and_body": Single-column bullets (use sparingly — AT MOST 1 per deck, conclusion only) - "title_and_subtitle": Section divider or transition slide (title + subtitle only, minimal body) - "image_full_width": Full-width image with optional text below (IMAGE LAYOUT) - "image_left_text_right": Image on the left with bullet points on the right (IMAGE LAYOUT) - "quadrant_grid": EXACTLY 4 comparable items — SWOT, 2x2 matrices, pros/cons - "data_table": Structured comparisons in tabular format (key:value pairs in description) - "timeline_horizontal": Chronological events, milestones, or history (dates in point, short descriptions) - "layered_pyramid": Hierarchical structures with 3-6 levels (MUST include icon with fa- prefix per item) - "phase_roadmap": Project phases with milestones — point MUST use "Period: Title" format (e.g., "Q1 2024: Launch") - "metric_rings": KPIs, completion rates, market share (1-4 metrics, values 0-100 as percentages) CONTENT REQUIREMENTS: - 3-5 substantial bullet points per slide - Each bullet description: 2-4 lines with specific data, evidence, or actionable insights - Content should be PhD-level, detailed, and evidence-driven - Use FontAwesome 5.15 icons (e.g., fa-bolt, fa-chart-line, fa-lightbulb) - EVERY body item MUST include "value" (0-100) — enables chart rendering and layout switching LAYOUT-SPECIFIC FORMATTING: - quadrant_grid: EXACTLY 4 items. "point" under 15 chars, "description" under 80 chars - timeline_horizontal: Dates/years in "point" (max 15 chars). "description" max 50 chars - layered_pyramid: "icon" with fa- prefix REQUIRED (fa-star, fa-check, fa-rocket). 3-6 items - phase_roadmap: "point" = "Period: Title" (e.g., "Q1 2024: Launch"). Max 4 phases. "description" = milestones separated by "; " - metric_rings: 1-4 items. For part-of-whole metrics (market share), values sum to ~100. For standalone KPIs (NPS, satisfaction), each value stands alone - data_table: "description" should use structured key:value pairs SCHEMA: Use only the documented schema fields — do not invent custom properties like "left_content", "right_content", "table", "rows", or "headers". For tables, use the data_table layout with key:value pairs in body[].description. |

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
Now that SlidesGPT is connected, extend your setup by connecting the other apps you already use every day, so your Grok bot 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.
Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single connection, your bot can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and SlidesGPT MCP?

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.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Grok Bot?

Yes, you can. Grok Bot 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.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for SlidesGPT while using Tool Router?

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.

### 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 SlidesGPT data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
