Office-PowerPoint-MCP-Server: An MCP-Based Tool for Operating PowerPoint 73

Office-PowerPoint-MCP-Server is an MCP server based on python-pptx, used for creating, editing, and manipulating PowerPoint presentations. It supports adding and deleting slides, adding and editing text, images, tables, shapes, and charts, as well as modifying document properties. Users can deploy it via Smithery, installation scripts, or manual methods, supporting local Python server or UVX runtime, and integrate with external clients (such as Claude Desktop) through MCP configuration, simplifying the PowerPoint automation workflow.

Features

• Provides tools for creating, editing, and manipulating PPT, supporting operations ranging from simple text addition to complex charts and shapes. Users can create new PPTs, open and save existing PPTs, get and set document properties, and perform operations such as format application and chart generation.

• Supports adding and editing slides, text boxes, images, tables, shapes, and charts, meeting diverse presentation editing needs.

• Capable of batch processing PPTs through programming, such as automated report generation, reading data sources, automatically creating slides containing charts and tables, and exporting them as PPT files, improving work efficiency.

Use Cases

• In data analysis and report production, this server can read data sources, automatically create slides containing charts and tables, and export them as PPT files, reducing manual operations.

• Teachers or trainers can use this project to automatically create teaching presentations, including adding interactive elements such as charts and animations to enhance the learning experience.

• Speakers in enterprises need to prepare multiple versions of presentations. Office - PowerPoint - MCP - Server can help them quickly create and modify PPTs to suit different presentation occasions
