### Description (declared)

# pptx-mcp-server

MCP server for creating, reading, and editing PowerPoint (.pptx) presentations.
Provides 37 tools for slide management, shape/text manipulation, table operations,
composite layouts, layout validation, and slide rendering -- all accessible via
the Model Context Protocol.

## Installation

`pptx-mcp-server` ships with two install paths: a minimal library install for
driving the engine programmatically, and an `[mcp]` extra for running the MCP
server CLI.

```bash
# Library usage (no MCP runtime — only python-pptx + lxml):
pip install pptx-mcp-server

# MCP server (includes the mcp SDK):
pip install 'pptx-mcp-server[mcp]'
```

The MCP SDK lives behind the `[mcp]` extra so that pure-library consumers do
not pay for the MCP SDK + anyio transitive dependencies at install time. The
`pptx-mcp-server` CLI and `pptx_mcp_server.server` module require the `[mcp]`
extra; importing them without it raises a clear ImportError pointing back here.

## Claude Desktop Configuration

Add the following to your Claude Desktop MCP config (`claude_desktop_config.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pptx-editor": {
      "command": "pptx-mcp-server"
    }
  }
}
```

Or, if running from source:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pptx-editor": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "pptx_mcp_server"]
    }
  }
}
```

## Use as a Python library

`pptx-mcp-server` also ships a pure-Python engine you can drive directly,
without starting an MCP server. The `engine` and `theme` modules have no
dependency on the MCP SDK at import time, so you can build decks from scripts,
notebooks, or batch jobs.

Install it the same way you would any other package — the bare install does
not pull the MCP SDK:

```bash
# From PyPI (once published) — library only:
pip install pptx-mcp-server

# From a local checkout (editable install during development):
pip install -e /path/to/pptx-mcp-server
```

Then compose a deck by calling the engine functions directly:

```python
from pptx_m…
