Connect SlideModel to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any other MCP client. Your assistant can search 50,000+ templates by topic or shape, check how much text each slide holds, and link you straight to the download.

Nothing to install. SlideModel is a hosted server: add the URL to your client and you're ready.
In your client, add a remote MCP server (some call it a connector) and paste the SlideModel server URL.
Searching works right away. To download, your client opens slidemodel.com so you can sign in and approve the connection.
Ask for a slide by its shape or topic. Your assistant finds matching slides and links to each one.
Works on Free (one custom connector), Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise. On Team and Enterprise, an owner adds it first in Organization settings → Connectors.

Any client that can add a remote MCP server over streamable HTTP and sign in with OAuth. Claude Code and Cursor can also use a personal access token.
It's a hosted server. There's no package, extension or local server to run.
One server, many places to use it.
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.
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.
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.
Shape and element-count search covers a growing part of the catalog. Every template can be found by topic.
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.
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.
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.
Remove the server in your client's settings, or revoke the connection from your SlideModel account (Account → AI assistants) at any time.
