Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that lets an assistant read PowerPoint .pptx files: slide-by-slide outlines, cover thumbnails and a shareable HTML preview.

What you can do
  • Extract a slide-by-slide outline of a deck as JSON, including titles, body text and speaker notes
  • Retrieve the cover thumbnail PowerPoint saved inside the file, when one exists
  • Generate a self-contained HTML page previewing the first 5 slides as text cards
  • Read decks from a local path or an http(s) URL, up to 50 MB
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to summarize or answer questions about a .pptx deck, collect cover thumbnails from several files, or produce a quick shareable text preview of a presentation.
Requirements
Runs as a local process via npx (Node 18+), or by cloning the repository and running npm install and node src/index.js. No accounts, API keys or environment variables are declared. Network access is needed only when the source is an http(s) URL.
Before you install
It reads text only and does not render layouts, images, animations or transitions. The preview tool writes an HTML file, so check where it is saved before sharing. Remote URLs are fetched by the server, so only point it at sources you trust.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Pptx Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.
