‍TeamSlide MCP for Claude and Copilot

Give your AI your firm’s slides.

Claude and Microsoft Copilot can draft a slide in seconds. TeamSlide MCP makes that slide yours: the assistant reuses what your team has already approved, and builds anything new on your templates. The first draft already looks like your firm made it.

THE GAP

AI can draft a slide. It can't draft yours.

General-purpose assistants start from a blank page. They don’t know which slides your firm has already approved, which version is current, or what your master looks like. So the draft is fast, and the clean-up is slow.

It rebuilds what already exists

Your team has a vetted case study, a methodology slide, a team page. The assistant writes a new one from scratch anyway.

It looks like AI, not like your firm

Generic layouts, colours and type. Every slide gets reformatted before it goes anywhere near a client.

It finds files, not approved slides

Copilot can surface decks from SharePoint, last year's alongside this quarter's. It can't tell which single slide inside them is the approved one.

It can’t tell what it shouldn’t see

A general assistant pulls whatever it can reach, restricted decks included. It has no sense of which slides are approved for which audience.

HOW IT WORKS

One connection between your assistant and your approved content

TeamSlide already indexes your library slide by slide. The MCP server opens that library to your assistant, with the same permissions and versions as the PowerPoint add-in.

Your assistant

Claude, Microsoft Copilot or any MCP client

Your people ask for slides in plain language, where they already work.

TeamSlide MCP

Search, permissions, versions, templates

Finds the right slide, checks who may see it, and returns the current approved version.

Your slide library

Stays in SharePoint, OneDrive, Box, Google Drive or Dropbox

Nothing moves. TeamSlide keeps it in sync, as it does today.

1

Find

The assistant searches your libraries slide by slide, by topic, name or the metadata your team already set.

2

Reuse

Approved slides come back into the chat with previews. You pick the right one instead of rebuilding it.

3

Build on your template

When nothing fits, the assistant starts from your masters and templates. Your type, colours and layouts from the first draft.

OUR APPROACH

Start on-brand. Don’t fix it afterwards.

Checking AI output after the fact catches mistakes. Giving the assistant your approved content up front avoids them. TeamSlide works before the slide is drafted, not after.

Generate, then fix

  • The assistant drafts a generic slide
  • Someone reformats it to the master
  • A checker flags what still doesn’t match
  • Someone finds the approved version existed all along

Start from what’s approved, with TeamSlide MCP

  • The assistant looks in your library first
  • Approved slides are reused as they are
  • New slides start from your templates
  • Nothing left to clean up before it goes out
OUR APPROACH

Your assistant knows which library to use

Every TeamSlide MCP server ships with a ground rule. You add a short line per library. The assistant reads both before it answers.

Set by TeamSlide

Look in the firm’s library first

Prefer approved slides and templates over building from scratch, and keep the firm’s master when a slide is downloaded.

Set by you, per library
  • Sales · Approved - Use for prospect pitches and case studies.
  • Templates · Masters - Starting point for every new slide.
  • [Your library] - When the assistant should use it.
IN PRACTICE

Ask for a slide the way you’d ask a teammate

Real stories from customers who simplified their workflow and created smarter, faster ways to manage PowerPoint content.

“Find our latest onboarding slide.”
Searches by library and the metadata your team already set, so the current version comes back without hunting through decks.
“Pull three case studies for a retail pitch.”
Brings individual approved slides into the chat with previews, so you choose rather than rebuild.
“Draft a Q1 revenue summary slide.”
Builds on your executive-summary template, not a generic AI layout.
“Make a title slide for Acme.”
Starts from your title master, so colours, type and logo lockup are right from the start.
GOVERNANCE

Same rules as the rest of TeamSlide. See security and permissions for the detail.

Same permissions

People only see slides they can already see in TeamSlide. Nothing leaks through the chat.
Always the current version

FAQ

Everything you may be wondering about TeamSlide MCP

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol, an open standard for connecting AI assistants to outside tools. TeamSlide MCP is how Claude or Copilot reaches your slide library.

Isn’t Copilot already connected to our SharePoint?

Copilot searches files. TeamSlide indexes individual slides, knows which ones are approved and current, and exposes your templates. That’s the difference between finding a deck and finding the right slide.

How do new slides stay on brand?

Through your masters and templates. The assistant starts from your layouts instead of a generic AI style, so there’s nothing to reformat later.

Can people see slides they shouldn’t?

No. Permissions follow the TeamSlide library. People see exactly what they would see in the add-in.

Does it replace the PowerPoint add-in?

No. The add-in is still how you insert slides into a deck. The MCP server gives your assistant a way into the same library.

Does it move our slides anywhere?

No. Slides stay in SharePoint, OneDrive, Box, Google Drive or Dropbox. The MCP server works on the library TeamSlide already syncs.

What can it do today?

Search by library, read slide metadata, preview slides and download individual slides, plus expose your templates as the starting point for new ones.
