Installation

Installing via Smithery

To install PowerPoint Manipulation Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @GongRzhe/Office-PowerPoint-MCP-Server --client claude

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10 or higher
  • pip package manager

Installation Options

Option 1: Using the Setup Script (Recommended)

The easiest way to set up the PowerPoint MCP Server is using the provided setup script, which automates the installation process:

python setup_mcp.py

This script will:

  • Check prerequisites
  • Offer installation options:
    • Install from PyPI (recommended for most users)
    • Set up local development environment
  • Install required dependencies
  • Generate the appropriate MCP configuration file
  • Provide instructions for integrating with Claude Desktop

The script offers different paths based on your environment:

  • If you have uvx installed, it will configure using UVX (recommended)
  • If the server is already installed, it provides configuration options
  • If the server is not installed, it offers installation methods

Option 2: Manual Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/GongRzhe/Office-PowerPoint-MCP-Server.git cd Office-PowerPoint-MCP-Server
  2. Install dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt
  3. Make the server executable:

    chmod +x ppt_mcp_server.py

Usage

Starting the Server

Run the server:

python ppt_mcp_server.py

MCP Configuration

Option 1: Local Python Server

Add the server to your MCP settings configuration file:

{ "mcpServers": { "ppt": { "command": "python", "args": ["/path/to/ppt_mcp_server.py"], "env": {} } } }

Option 2: Using UVX (No Local Installation Required)

If you have uvx installed, you can run the server directly from PyPI without local installation:

{ "mcpServers": { "ppt": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "--from", "office-powerpoint-mcp-server", "ppt_mcp_server" ], "env": {} } } }
