### Description (declared)

# PowerPoint MCP Server

The best open-source MCP server for PowerPoint automation. Free, no subscriptions, no credits.

Built by a UCSD grad student who was tired of spending 3-4 hours per week making presentations.

## Windows Only

**This MCP server works exclusively on Windows** because it uses `pywin32` COM automation to control the PowerPoint application directly. This is what enables bidirectional read/write access, real-time editing, LaTeX rendering, templates, and animations.

macOS/Linux alternatives like `python-pptx` don't get access to the full PowerPoint feature set. PRs for an AppleScript-based macOS version are welcome.

## Why This Is Different

There are a lot of PowerPoint automation tools out there. Here is why this one is actually worth using:

**Template-first design**
Point the LLM at your desired template and it just works. Tell Claude: *"Make a GPU performance comparison presentation using our company's Nvidia_Black_Green_2025 template"* - it discovers the template, analyzes its layouts, and populates them correctly.

**Actually bidirectional and real-time**
Unlike `python-pptx` (write-only) or other popular MCP implementations, this uses COM automation. Claude can READ your existing presentations and edit them in real time without closing PowerPoint first.

**Multimodal slide analysis**
The `slide_snapshot` tool gives the LLM both visual context (screenshots w…
