SlidesGPT generates complete PowerPoint presentations from topics, outlines, or uploaded documents, with AI-selected layouts and images. Create custom visuals, apply presentation themes, and download finished slide decks as PowerPoint files.
Hermes is Nous Research's command-line agent. MCP servers are declared in its YAML config and reloaded without a restart.
This guide connects SlidesGPT MCP to Hermes through MewCP, so Hermes can use SlidesGPT MCP's 2 tools, like create_slides and apply_theme.
SlidesGPT MCP needs no credentials, but every call still runs through MewCP: scoped, checked and logged like any other.

Other clients
SlidesGPT MCP works the same way in every client below. Pick yours for its own guide.
Free to start.
Scope access to the exact SlidesGPT MCP tools and accounts you allow, work and personal side by side. Anything outside that scope is refused at call time, even when the model asks for it.
Each call is logged: what ran, on which account, and whether it worked. Failures come back structured, so the agent knows whether to retry instead of guessing.
Every app sits behind one secure MCP URL, and there is no server for you to deploy or keep running. Add an integration in the dashboard and it is live on the next call, with no config to change and no new credentials to wire up. Tools load only when a task needs them, so your agent stays fast and focused however many apps you connect.
Edit config.yaml in your Hermes config directory (~/.hermes).
Put this under the top-level "mcp_servers:" key.
Run /reload-mcp in Hermes, or start a fresh session. Sign in when the browser window opens.
Start a new chat and ask: "List the tools you can use from MewCP." You should see your connected apps.
Create one or more professional presentation slides. Pass a single slide in the array for one slide, or multiple slides for a full deck. WHEN TO USE — when the user has clearly asked for slides: - User mentions any of: "slide", "presentation", "deck", "pitch deck", "pitchdeck", "pitch", "slideshow", "ppt", or "keynote" - ANY intent phrasing about slides: • COMMANDS: "create", "make", "give me", "build", "generate", "design" • REQUESTS: "I need", "I want", "can you make", "could you create", "help me make" • SUGGESTIONS: "let's make", "let's create", "how about a presentation on" • IMPLIED: "deck about X", "pitch deck for X", "presentation on X" (even without a verb) - If user asks for "a slide about X" (singular) and the topic warrants multiple slides, generate a single slide itself - When user intent is ambiguous (e.g., "a deck about X" with no slide count), default to 2-3 slides ATTACHED PDFs / DOCUMENTS: Claude ingests user-attached files as document content blocks directly in the conversation. Read the document content from the conversation and pass the relevant material (topic, structure, key points) into this tool's slides argument — there is no separate file upload step. CRITICAL RULES: - Pass all slides in a SINGLE call — NEVER call this tool multiple times in sequence - When adding to an existing presentation, pass the presentation_id from the previous response IMPORTANT: DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP - If no presentation_id exists, pass empty string — a new presentation will be created IMAGES: Always provide image_caption for every slide — describe the ideal slide image in 5-6 words (subject, setting, mood). Leave image_id empty; the system uses your caption to find the best matching photo. THEMES: If the user asked for a specific theme, pass theme_id here — do NOT call apply_theme separately afterwards. LAYOUT VARIETY RULES (CRITICAL for multi-slide decks): 1. Use a VARIETY of layouts across the deck. Match each layout to the slide's content. 2. The FIRST content slide SHOULD use "title_and_two_columns" (image layout). 3. Use "title_and_body" for AT MOST 1 slide (conclusion only). 4. NEVER repeat the same layout for consecutive slides. 5. Use metric_rings ONLY for percentage-based metrics (0-100). 6. Mix visual variety: combine image slides, charts, timelines, grids, and text slides. LAYOUT OPTIONS (set layout for EVERY slide): - "title_and_two_columns": Content with image alongside bullets (IMAGE LAYOUT) - "title_and_two_to_four_columns_with_icons": 2-4 key points with icons (good default) - "title_and_body": Single-column bullets (use sparingly — AT MOST 1 per deck, conclusion only) - "title_and_subtitle": Section divider or transition slide (title + subtitle only, minimal body) - "image_full_width": Full-width image with optional text below (IMAGE LAYOUT) - "image_left_text_right": Image on the left with bullet points on the right (IMAGE LAYOUT) - "quadrant_grid": EXACTLY 4 comparable items — SWOT, 2x2 matrices, pros/cons - "data_table": Structured tabular data. REQUIRES the "table" field with a markdown table (header + separator + rows) - "chart_bar": Numeric comparisons across categories (e.g., revenue by region, sales by product). REQUIRES the "chart" field with type "bar" - "chart_pie": Part-of-whole composition (market share, budget split, % breakdown). REQUIRES the "chart" field with type "pie" - "timeline_horizontal": Chronological events, milestones, or history (dates in point, short descriptions) - "layered_pyramid": Hierarchical structures with 3-6 levels (MUST include icon with fa- prefix per item) - "phase_roadmap": Project phases with milestones — point MUST use "Period: Title" format (e.g., "Q1 2024: Launch") - "metric_rings": KPIs, completion rates, market share (1-4 metrics, values 0-100 as percentages) CONTENT REQUIREMENTS: - 3-5 substantial bullet points per slide - Each bullet description: 2-4 lines with specific data, evidence, or actionable insights - Content should be PhD-level, detailed, and evidence-driven - Use FontAwesome 5.15 icons (e.g., fa-bolt, fa-chart-line, fa-lightbulb) - EVERY body item MUST include "value" (0-100) — enables chart rendering and layout switching - For chart_bar / chart_pie / data_table slides: ALSO emit a body[] array (3-5 items summarising the chart/table) so the slide still has useful bullets if the user switches the layout LAYOUT-SPECIFIC FORMATTING (MUST FOLLOW): - quadrant_grid: EXACTLY 4 items. "point" under 15 chars, "description" under 80 chars - timeline_horizontal: Dates/years in "point" (max 15 chars). "description" max 50 chars - layered_pyramid: "icon" with fa- prefix REQUIRED (fa-star, fa-check, fa-rocket). 3-6 items - phase_roadmap: "point" = "Period: Title" (e.g., "Q1 2024: Launch"). Max 4 phases. "description" = milestones separated by "; " - metric_rings: 1-4 items. For part-of-whole metrics (market share), values sum to ~100. For standalone KPIs (NPS, satisfaction), each value stands alone - data_table: emit "table": { "md": "| Header1 | Header2 |\n| --- | --- |\n| Row1Col1 | Row1Col2 |" }. Markdown table must have header, separator row of dashes, and at least one data row. Set the "chart" field to null on this slide. - chart_bar: emit "chart": { "type": "bar", "title": "Revenue by Region", "unit": "$M", "data": [{ "label": "EMEA", "value": 4.2 }, { "label": "APAC", "value": 3.1 }] }. For multi-series (grouped/stacked bars), give every data point a "series" string and reuse the same labels across series. Optional: xTitle, yTitle, stacked. Set "table" to null. - chart_pie: emit "chart": { "type": "pie", "title": "Market Share", "unit": "%", "data": [{ "label": "SegmentA", "value": 42 }, { "label": "SegmentB", "value": 31 }] }. Values should sum to ~100. Set "table" to null. SCHEMA NOTE: For non-chart/non-table slides, set "chart" and "table" to null (or omit them).
Apply a visual theme to re-style the entire presentation. WHEN TO USE: - User says "apply Tokyo Dark theme", "change theme to Paris", etc. - User wants to customize the presentation appearance AVAILABLE THEMES (18 total): • Urban: copenhagen, tokyo, paris, berlin, new-york, la, zurich, shanghai (each has -light and -dark variants) • Gradient: cosmic-pulse-light/dark REQUIRES: presentation_id from previous slide creation. This re-renders all slides with the new theme.
