How to connect SlideModel to your MCP client

Nothing to install. SlideModel is a hosted server: add the URL to your client and you're ready.

  1. Add the server

    In your client, add a remote MCP server (some call it a connector) and paste the SlideModel server URL.

  2. Sign in when asked

    Searching works right away. To download, your client opens slidemodel.com so you can sign in and approve the connection.

  3. Start asking

    Ask for a slide by its shape or topic. Your assistant finds matching slides and links to each one.

Questions about SlideModel and MCP

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants and code editors use outside tools. SlideModel's MCP server gives your assistant tools to search our catalog, check slides and fetch files.

Does this cost anything?

Connecting and searching are free. A SlideModel plan is needed only to download the PowerPoint file, and those downloads count against your plan exactly as they would on the site.

Does it generate slides with AI?

No. Every result is an existing, fully editable template designed by our team, with a link to its page on slidemodel.com. On certain plans, your assistant can also edit a slide's text for you.

Can it search every template by shape?

Shape and element-count search covers a growing part of the catalog. Every template can be found by topic.

Which clients work?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers over streamable HTTP with OAuth sign-in, including Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code with GitHub Copilot and Microsoft Copilot Studio.

Do I need an API key?

No. Searching needs nothing. To download, you sign in to slidemodel.com from your client. Members with an active plan who use Claude Code or Cursor can create a personal access token instead.

Is my data sent anywhere?

Your assistant sends SlideModel only what each request needs, such as search words and the slide it picked. SlideModel doesn't receive your conversation or your files. We log requests (tool, search terms, time and a hashed IP address) for up to 30 days to keep the service secure.

How do I remove it?

Remove the server in your client's settings, or revoke the connection from your SlideModel account (Account → AI assistants) at any time.
