🖌️ KitchenSink4PPT Community Edition

Landing page · llms.txt (machine-readable capability manifest for agents and LLM crawlers)

Build and revise PowerPoint decks with your AI assistant, with diagrams made of shapes you can still edit.

Create and revise real PowerPoint presentations from Claude Code, Codex CLI, Copilot CLI or any other MCP client that runs local tools. KitchenSink4PPT connects your assistant to .pptx files, and its diagrams are built from native shapes and connectors, so the slide is still yours to change after the AI is done. Files are processed on your computer; the only thing that leaves it is what your AI app sends to its own provider. The Community edition is free under the AGPL. The Business edition adds a Windows installer, a signed update channel, a license your company can approve and support.

Works on: Windows, macOS and Linux for the file tools. Live PowerPoint features need Windows with PowerPoint. PDF and image export need PowerPoint on Windows or a supported LibreOffice.

Install

Pick the route for your AI app. The commands go in PowerShell on Windows or a terminal on macOS and Linux, not into an AI chat. The package routes need Python 3.12 or newer.

Claude Desktop

Install uv, then quit and reopen Claude Desktop. Download the .mcpb file from KitchenSink4PPT releases. In Claude Desktop open Settings, then Extensions, then Advanced settings, then Install extension, and choose the file. The bundle fetches the Python package the first time it starts, so the first launch needs a network connection. Restart your session and check that the tools show as connected.

Claude Code or Codex CLI

Install uv, then run the line for your app and restart your session:

claude mcp add ppt -s user -- uvx kitchensink4ppt

codex mcp add ppt -- uvx kitchensink4ppt

Any other local MCP client

Use uvx as the command and kitchensink4ppt as its argument, or install the package and use kitchensink4ppt as the server command:

pip install kitchensink4ppt

Then follow your client's guide for adding a local MCP server. Installing the package on its own does not connect it to an AI app.

Optional: pip install "kitchensink4ppt[metrics]" adds installed-font width measurement for text fitting and overflow checks; results remain estimates, so render to verify.
