Google Slides MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 83 installs a week from npm. Last commit 4 Oct 2026.
MCP server for the Google Slides API: presentations, slides, text, shapes, images and tables.
Today is the operative word: we check Google Slides MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
GOOGLE_SLIDES_CLIENT_ID (Google OAuth2 client id (refresh-token flow).), GOOGLE_SLIDES_CLIENT_SECRET (Google OAuth2 client secret (refresh-token flow). Treat it as a secret.), GOOGLE_SLIDES_REFRESH_TOKEN (Google OAuth2 refresh token, exchanged for access tokens automatically. Treat it as a secret.), GOOGLE_SLIDES_ACCESS_TOKEN (Static OAuth2 access token (~1h lifetime) — alternative to the refresh-token trio, mostly for testing.), GOOGLE_SLIDES_OAUTH_PORT (Fixed port for the loopback listener of the in-chat login (127.0.0.1 + PKCE). Set it when the client runs over SSH port forwarding; otherwise a free port is picked per login.), GOOGLE_SLIDES_API_BASE (Slides API root override.), GOOGLE_SLIDES_DRIVE_API_BASE (Drive API root override (used internally for comments, export and image upload).), GOOGLE_SLIDES_TIMEOUT_MS (Per-request timeout in milliseconds.), GOOGLE_SLIDES_MAX_RETRIES (Retries on transient errors (429 always; 5xx/network for reads).).
