PowerPoint Server MCP server

Main Changes of this fork

Uses Stable Diffusion (ForgeUI/Automatic-1111) API instead of together ai.

Components

Tools

The server implements multiple tools:

  • create-presentation: Starts a presentation
    • Takes "name" as required string arguments
    • Creates a presentation object
  • add-slide-title-only: Adds a title slide to the presentation
    • Takes "presentation_name" and "title" as required string arguments
    • Creates a title slide with "title" and adds it to presentation
  • add-slide-section-header: Adds a section header slide to the presentation
    • Takes "presentation_name" and "header" as required string arguments
    • Creates a section header slide with "header" (and optionally "subtitle") and adds it to the presentation
  • add-slide-title-content: Adds a title with content slide to the presentation
    • Takes "presentation_name", "title", "content" as required string arguments
    • Creates a title with content slide with "title" and "content" and adds it to presentation
  • add-slide-title-with-table: Adds a title slide with a table
    • Takes "presentation_name", "title", "data" as required string and array arguments
    • Creates a title slide with "title" and adds a table dynamically built from data
  • add-slide-title-with-chart: Adds a title slide with a chart
    • Takes "presentation_name", "title", "data" as required string and object arguments
    • Creates a title slide with "title" and adds a chart dynamically built from data. Attempts to figure out the best type of chart from the data source.
  • add-slide-picture-with-caption: Adds a picture with caption slide
    • Takes "presentation_name", "title", "caption", "image_path" as required string arguments
    • Creates a picture with caption slide using the supplied "title", "caption", and "image_path". Can either use images created via the "generate-and-save-image" tool or use an "image_path" supplied by the user (image must exist in folder_path)
  • open-presentation: Opens a presentation for editing
    • Takes "presentation_name" as required arguments
    • Opens the given presentation and automatically saves a backup of it as "backup.pptx"
    • This tool allows the client to work with existing pptx files and add slides to them. Just make sure the client calls "save-presentation" tool at the end.
  • save-presentation: Saves the presentation to a file.
    • Takes "presentation_name" as required arguments.
    • Saves the presentation to the folder_path. The client must call this tool to finalize the process.
  • generate-and-save-image: Generates an image for the presentation using a T2I model
    • Takes "prompt" and "file_name" as required string arguments
    • Creates an image using stable diffusion api (ForgeUI/Automatic1111)

Configuration

An environment variable is required for image generation via ForgeUI API

"env": 
{
  "SD_WEBUI_URL": "http://your-sd-webui-url:7860",
  "SD_AUTH_USER": "your-username",  // Optional: if authentication is enabled
  "SD_AUTH_PASS": "your-password",  // Optional: if authentication is enabled
}

A folder_path is required. All presentations and images will be saved to this folder.

"--folder-path",
  "/path/to/decks_folder"
