Server URL

https://slides-api.getalai.com/mcp/

Glama / Local Wrapper

This repository includes a local MCP wrapper so Glama can build, start, and inspect the server automatically.

The wrapper runs over stdio and forwards tool calls to the hosted Alai MCP endpoint:

ALAI_MCP_URL - optional override for the upstream MCP URL
ALAI_API_KEY - optional API key used when forwarding tool calls upstream
api_key - alternate env var name supported for Glama placeholder arguments

Tool introspection works without credentials, which is enough for Glama to inspect the server. Real tool execution requires a valid API key.

Run locally

npm install
npm start

With upstream credentials:

ALAI_API_KEY=sk_your_key npm start

Authentication

The server accepts either a static API key or an OAuth 2.1 bearer token on the same endpoint.

API Key

Get a key from getalai.com and pass it in one of these headers:

api-key: sk_your_key
Authorization: Bearer sk_your_key

OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration

The server implements RFC 9728 Protected Resource Metadata and delegates authorization to Supabase, which supports RFC 7591 Dynamic Client Registration and PKCE (S256). Spec-compliant MCP clients (e.g. Claude Desktop, MCP Inspector) can auto-discover the flow:

GET https://slides-api.getalai.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource

The response's authorization_servers entry points at the Supabase authorization server, whose /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server document advertises the registration_endpoint, authorization_endpoint, and token_endpoint. After the authorization code + PKCE flow, the client sends Authorization: Bearer <jwt> to the MCP endpoint.

Available Tools

Tool	Description
`ping`	Verify your API key and return your user ID
`generate_presentation`	Create a presentation from text content
`get_generation_status`	Check async operation status
`get_themes`	List themes available to the authenticated user
`get_vibes`	List vibes (visual styles) available to the authenticated user
`get_presentations`	List all your presentations
`create_slide`	Add a slide (classic or creative) to an existing presentation
`delete_slide`	Remove a slide from a presentation
`export_presentation`	Export to PDF, PPTX, or shareable link
`generate_transcripts`	Generate speaker notes for slides
`delete_presentation`	Permanently delete a presentation

Workflow

Call generate_presentation with your content
Poll get_generation_status every 2-5 seconds until status is completed
Use the returned presentation_id for further operations

Example Usage

Generate a Presentation

Call get_themes and get_vibes first to discover the IDs available to your account, then pass them in:

{
  "input_text": "Benefits of AI in the workplace: increased productivity, enhanced creativity, improved efficiency",
  "title": "AI in the Workplace",
  "theme_id": "<id from get_themes>",
  "vibe_id": "<id from get_vibes>",
  "slide_range": "2-5",
  "include_ai_images": true,
  "num_creative_variants": 1,
  "total_variants_per_slide": 1,
  "image_ids": [],
  "export_formats": ["link"],
  "language": "English"
}

Only input_text is required. num_creative_variants must be 0–2 (set to ≥1 when using vibe_id). total_variants_per_slide must be 1–4. export_formats accepts "link", "pdf", "ppt".

Check Generation Status

{
  "generation_id": "abc123-def456"
}

Export Presentation

{
  "presentation_id": "xyz789",
  "formats": ["pdf", "link"]
}

Available Themes

Call get_themes to discover the themes available to your account (returns theme IDs and display names). A handful of built-in legacy theme names you can pass directly as theme_id:

AURORA_FLUX
MIDNIGHT_EMBER
EMERALD_FOREST
DESERT_BLOOM
DONUT
OAK
PRISMATICA
SIMPLE_LIGHT
SIMPLE_DARK
CYBERPUNK

Configuration

For Claude Desktop / MCP Clients

OAuth-capable clients (Claude Desktop, MCP Inspector, Cursor, etc.) can use just the URL — the client will discover and run the OAuth 2.1 + DCR flow on first connect:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alai-presentations": {
      "url": "https://slides-api.getalai.com/mcp/",
      "transport": "streamable-http"
    }
  }
}

If you prefer to skip OAuth and use a static API key, add a header block:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alai-presentations": {
      "url": "https://slides-api.getalai.com/mcp/",
      "transport": "streamable-http",
      "headers": {
        "api-key": "sk_your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}
