Overview

AI-generated overview

Alai's hosted MCP server that lets an assistant generate, edit, and export AI-designed presentations to PDF, PPTX, or a shareable link.

What you can do
  • Generate presentations from text, notes, markdown, or URLs, then poll the async generation status.
  • List available themes and visual styles, and list your existing presentations.
  • Add or remove slides in an existing deck and generate speaker notes.
  • Export a deck to PDF, PPTX, or a shareable link, and delete presentations.
  • Verify credentials with a ping that returns your user ID.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to turn notes, meeting summaries, or outlines into polished pitch decks, sales or marketing slides, or to restyle and extend existing PowerPoint decks without design work.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint at slides-api.getalai.com; no local install needed. Authentication is required: OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration, or a static Alai API key sent in the api-key or Authorization Bearer header. An Alai account is needed to obtain a key.
Before you install
Requires an Alai account and credentials; the API key is a secret and should be kept out of shared configs. Tools can delete slides and permanently delete presentations, and exports create shareable links. Presentation content is sent to Alai's hosted service for processing.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Presentations in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.getalai%2Fpresentations/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

Server URL

https://slides-api.getalai.com/mcp/

Glama / Local Wrapper

This repository includes a local MCP wrapper so Glama can build, start, and inspect the server automatically.

The wrapper runs over stdio and forwards tool calls to the hosted Alai MCP endpoint:

  • ALAI_MCP_URL - optional override for the upstream MCP URL
  • ALAI_API_KEY - optional API key used when forwarding tool calls upstream
  • api_key - alternate env var name supported for Glama placeholder arguments

Tool introspection works without credentials, which is enough for Glama to inspect the server. Real tool execution requires a valid API key.

Run locally

bash
npm installnpm start

With upstream credentials:

bash
ALAI_API_KEY=sk_your_key npm start

Authentication

The server accepts either a static API key or an OAuth 2.1 bearer token on the same endpoint.

API Key

Get a key from getalai.com and pass it in one of these headers:

  • api-key: sk_your_key
  • Authorization: Bearer sk_your_key

OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration

The server implements RFC 9728 Protected Resource Metadata and delegates authorization to Supabase, which supports RFC 7591 Dynamic Client Registration and PKCE (S256). Spec-compliant MCP clients (e.g. Claude Desktop, MCP Inspector) can auto-discover the flow:

GET https://slides-api.getalai.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource

The response's authorization_servers entry points at the Supabase authorization server, whose /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server document advertises the registration_endpoint, authorization_endpoint, and token_endpoint. After the authorization code + PKCE flow, the client sends Authorization: Bearer <jwt> to the MCP endpoint.

Available Tools

ToolDescription
pingVerify your API key and return your user ID
generate_presentationCreate a presentation from text content
get_generation_statusCheck async operation status
get_themesList themes available to the authenticated user
get_vibesList vibes (visual styles) available to the authenticated user
get_presentationsList all your presentations
create_slideAdd a slide (classic or creative) to an existing presentation
delete_slideRemove a slide from a presentation
export_presentationExport to PDF, PPTX, or shareable link
generate_transcriptsGenerate speaker notes for slides
delete_presentationPermanently delete a presentation

Workflow

  1. Call generate_presentation with your content
  2. Poll get_generation_status every 2-5 seconds until status is completed
  3. Use the returned presentation_id for further operations

Example Usage

Generate a Presentation

Call get_themes and get_vibes first to discover the IDs available to your account, then pass them in:

json
{  "input_text": "Benefits of AI in the workplace: increased productivity, enhanced creativity, improved efficiency",  "title": "AI in the Workplace",  "theme_id": "<id from get_themes>",  "vibe_id": "<id from get_vibes>",  "slide_range": "2-5",  "include_ai_images": true,  "num_creative_variants": 1,  "total_variants_per_slide": 1,  "image_ids": [],  "export_formats": ["link"],  "language": "English"}

Only input_text is required. num_creative_variants must be 0–2 (set to ≥1 when using vibe_id). total_variants_per_slide must be 1–4. export_formats accepts "link", "pdf", "ppt".

Check Generation Status

json
{  "generation_id": "abc123-def456"}

Export Presentation

json
{  "presentation_id": "xyz789",  "formats": ["pdf", "link"]}

Available Themes

Call get_themes to discover the themes available to your account (returns theme IDs and display names). A handful of built-in legacy theme names you can pass directly as theme_id:

  • AURORA_FLUX
  • MIDNIGHT_EMBER
  • EMERALD_FOREST
  • DESERT_BLOOM
  • DONUT
  • OAK
  • PRISMATICA
  • SIMPLE_LIGHT
  • SIMPLE_DARK
  • CYBERPUNK

Configuration

For Claude Desktop / MCP Clients

OAuth-capable clients (Claude Desktop, MCP Inspector, Cursor, etc.) can use just the URL — the client will discover and run the OAuth 2.1 + DCR flow on first connect:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "alai-presentations": {      "url": "https://slides-api.getalai.com/mcp/",      "transport": "streamable-http"    }  }}

If you prefer to skip OAuth and use a static API key, add a header block:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "alai-presentations": {      "url": "https://slides-api.getalai.com/mcp/",      "transport": "streamable-http",      "headers": {        "api-key": "sk_your_api_key"      }    }  }}
