# Google Slides

> Create, read, and manage Google Slides presentations with AI-powered automation.

Google Slides is Google's cloud-based presentation tool for creating and collaborating on slide decks. The Google Slides MCP server lets you search, create, edit, and manage presentations using natural language.

## What Can It Do?

* **Search and open presentations** in Google Drive
* **Create new presentations** with slides, text, tables, images, and styling
* **Add and duplicate slides** with predefined or custom layouts
* **Add elements** like text boxes, images, shapes, tables, videos, and lines
* **Update elements** including styling, position, and text content
* **Manage tables** by inserting/deleting rows, columns, and merging cells
* **Find and replace text** across an entire presentation
* **Work with speaker notes** — read and update notes per slide
* **Manage comments** — list, create, reply, resolve, and delete

## Where to Use It

### In Agents (Recommended)

Add Google Slides as a tool to any agent. The agent can then create and edit presentations conversationally, choosing the right actions based on context.

**To add an MCP tool to your agent:**

1. Open your agent's configuration
2. Click **Add tools** → **Connect an app with MCP**
3. Search for the integration and select it
4. Authenticate with your account

<Tip>
  You can control which tools your agent has access to. After adding an integration, click on it to enable or disable specific tools based on what your agent needs.
</Tip>

### In Workflows (Via Agent Node)

For automated pipelines, use an [Agent Node](/core-concepts/agent_node) with Google Slides tools. This gives you the flexibility of an agent within a deterministic workflow.

### As a Custom MCP Node

You can also create a standalone MCP node for a specific action. This generates a reusable node that performs one task, useful when you need the same operation repeatedly in workflows.

<div className="rounded-2xl overflow-hidden border border-pink-200 dark:border-pink-800">
  <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1084821932" style={{ width: '100%', aspectRatio: '16/9' }} frameBorder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" title="MCP Nodes tutorial" />
</div>

**To create a custom MCP node:**

1. Go to your node library and search for the integration
2. Click **Create a node with AI**
3. Describe the specific action you want (e.g., "Create a presentation with a title slide")
4. Test the node and save it for reuse

<Info>
  Custom MCP nodes are single-purpose by design. For tasks that require multiple steps or dynamic decision-making, use an agent instead.

## Troubleshooting

| ---------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Agent not finding the right presentation | Use specific presentation titles or IDs                                                                                            |
| Action not completing                    | Check that you've authenticated with Google                                                                                        |
| Unexpected results                       | The agent may chain multiple tools (e.g., searching first, then editing). Review the agent's reasoning to understand its approach. |
| Tool not available                       | Verify the tool is [enabled in your agent's MCP configuration](/core-concepts/agents#tool-management-and-approvals)                |

<Tip>
  Agents are smart enough to chain multiple API calls together. For example, asking "Add a summary slide to my Q3 presentation" will search for the presentation first, then add the slide. If results seem off, check the agent's step-by-step reasoning.
