Connect your AI assistant with MCP

Check client support firstCopy section link

Your AI client must support adding a custom remote MCP server, Streamable HTTP, and OAuth with dynamic client registration and PKCE. Availability may depend on the client's plan or organization policy. A chat interface alone does not guarantee MCP support.

You need a TrySlides Google account. You do not need this repository, a server installation, a plugin archive or an API key.

ConnectCopy section link

1. Open your client's custom MCP connection settings.
2. Add a server named TrySlides with this URL: https://tryslides.app/api/mcp.
3. Start authorization, sign in to TrySlides and review the consent screen.
4. Approve only the document scope and actions needed.
5. Return to the client and confirm that the TrySlides tools are available.

Do not use /api/mcp/oauth as the server URL. Do not paste Google, Supabase or database tokens into client settings.

Installation with add-mcpCopy section link

As an alternative to each client's commands, you can use add-mcp, a third-party tool that adds the server configuration to selected clients. You need Node.js and npx:

npx add-mcp https://tryslides.app/api/mcp --name tryslides

Select your client and confirm the configuration. By default, it is saved in the current project; use --global to save it in your user configuration. This does not replace OAuth authorization: authenticate afterward in your client.

Codex installationCopy section link

codex mcp add tryslides --url https://tryslides.app/api/mcp
codex mcp login tryslides
codex mcp list
codex

Complete authorization in your browser and use codex mcp list to confirm that TrySlides is configured. If you already added the server, use codex mcp login tryslides to authorize again.

Claude Code installationCopy section link

For a client with Claude Code's HTTP MCP command, add the connection:

claude mcp add --transport http tryslides https://tryslides.app/api/mcp
claude

Use /mcp inside Claude Code to authenticate. Check the official client guide if your installed version differs.

For other clients, use their remote-server connection UI and the same endpoint; do not copy a configuration schema from a different client.

Test and manage accessCopy section link

Ask the assistant to report available TrySlides capabilities and your usage balance before editing. A connection does not grant access to every presentation unless you approved that scope.

Manage permissions and revoke access in Connections. Increasing permissions requires fresh authorization. When authorization expires, reconnect rather than sharing credentials in chat.

Continue with AI workflows and usage limits.
