Connect via MCP

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client to Rideful's presentation tools using the MCP server at https://slides.rideful.io/mcp.

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and services. Instead of generating code that users have to run themselves, an MCP-connected agent can call tools directly — creating slides, styling elements, and exporting presentations without any manual steps.

Rideful uses MCP because it makes AI agents first-class users of the platform. The agent authenticates once via OAuth, then has access to 21 tools for full presentation CRUD. No API keys to manage, no code to execute, no SDKs to install — the AI assistant talks to Rideful the same way it talks to any other MCP service.

Your First Tool Call

Once connected, try slides_list_decks to see your existing presentations:

// Ask your AI assistant:
"List my presentations"

// The agent calls:
slides_list_decks()

// Returns:
{
  "decks": [
    {
      "id": "abc123",
      "title": "Q4 Strategy Review",
      "slideCount": 12,
      "lastModified": "2026-02-27T10:30:00Z"
    }
  ]
}

Or jump straight to creating a new deck with slides_bulk_create. See the Quick Start guide for a full end-to-end example.
