2slides MCP Server

Overview

The 2slides MCP Server bridges Claude Desktop and the 2slides.com presentation platform, enabling AI assistants to create, search, and manage slide decks directly from a chat interface. By exposing 2slides’ REST API through the Model Context Protocol, developers can harness the power of AI‑driven content generation while keeping all data and templates securely hosted on 2slides’ cloud infrastructure. This eliminates the need for manual uploads or copy‑paste workflows, streamlining the creation of professional presentations at scale.

What Problem Does It Solve?

Creating a polished slide deck typically involves selecting a theme, drafting content, and iteratively refining the design—tasks that are time‑consuming and require switching between tools. The 2slides MCP Server consolidates these steps into a single conversational workflow: an AI assistant can generate slides from natural language prompts, retrieve job status, and fetch download URLs—all without leaving the chat. This reduces context switching, accelerates iteration cycles, and allows non‑technical users to produce high‑quality presentations with minimal effort.

Core Functionality

The server offers three primary tools:

• – Submits a user’s textual input and chosen theme to 2slides, initiating an asynchronous job that produces a slide deck.
• – Polls the status of a generation job, returning metadata and a download link once completed.
• – Enables quick discovery of available 2slides themes by keyword, supporting dynamic theme selection within the conversation.

Each tool maps cleanly to a 2slides API endpoint, returning structured JSON that Claude can parse and present as formatted text. Developers benefit from the server’s straightforward configuration: a single environment variable holds the API key, and the MCP integration is handled by Claude Desktop’s existing tooling framework.

Use Cases & Real‑World Scenarios

• Marketing Teams: Generate campaign decks on the fly by describing objectives, letting the AI populate slides with brand‑consistent themes and copy.
• Educators: Quickly produce lecture outlines by feeding lesson topics, with the server fetching relevant templates and generating slide content in multiple languages.
• Consultants: Draft client proposals by describing key points; the assistant can generate a polished deck, track job status, and deliver a ready‑to‑share PDF.

In each scenario, the AI acts as an intelligent co‑creator, leveraging 2slides’ design expertise while handling repetitive tasks automatically.

Integration with AI Workflows

Because the MCP server conforms to the standard Model Context Protocol, it plugs seamlessly into any Claude‑compatible client. The tools appear in the chat’s toolbar, allowing users to invoke them with simple button clicks or natural language commands. The server handles authentication, request formatting, and error logging internally, so developers can focus on higher‑level logic such as chaining slide generation with subsequent editing or sharing steps. The design also supports asynchronous polling, ensuring that the AI can continue conversing while a slide deck is being rendered.

Unique Advantages

• No Code Needed: Developers can expose a sophisticated presentation service without writing custom API wrappers or managing authentication flows.
• Built‑in Theme Search: The tool gives users immediate access to the full library of 2slides templates, fostering creativity and consistency.
• Cloud‑Hosted Generation: All heavy lifting—rendering, styling, and file hosting—is performed on 2slides’ servers, freeing local resources and guaranteeing up‑to‑date design standards.

Overall, the 2slides MCP Server transforms a complex presentation workflow into an effortless conversational experience, empowering developers and users alike to produce professional slide decks with the help of AI.
