From the ChatPPT repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

ChatPPT

ChatPPT is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for programmatic, AI-assisted PowerPoint creation and editing. Built on Node.js 20+ and @office-kit/pptx, ChatPPT exposes a safe, structured, resource-oriented CRUD API over stdio for connected LLMs in Visual Studio Code and other MCP-compatible clients.

Key Features

  • Stable Opaque IDs: Every presentation deck, slide, slide collection, and slide element is tracked with a stable UUID.
  • Dual Storage Model:
  • Presentation files are stored under presentations/.pptx.
  • Server metadata, slide collections, and element mapping are tracked in .chatppt/registry.json.
  • Atomic Operations & Consistency: All file writes use temporary files and atomic renames to prevent partial file corruption.
  • Visual Slide Previews: Render any slide to a PNG image for agent visual feedback using @office-kit/pptx-preview.
  • Vectorized / Batch Operations: Create, update, or delete multiple slides or elements in a single tool call to optimize LLM interactions.
  • Rich Elements: Create and update text boxes, preset shapes (180+ DrawingML geometries), lines, tables, charts (column, bar, line, pie, doughnut, area), and images.
  • Full Typography & Styling: Custom fonts, font sizes, bold, italic, text colors, fills, borders/strokes, alignment, and z-index ordering.

Installing & Configuring in VS Code

Option 1: Workspace MCP Configuration (.vscode/mcp.json)

To use ChatPPT in your VS Code workspace, add or update .vscode/mcp.json in the root of your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "chatppt": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["${workspaceFolder}/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Option 2: Published Package or npx Execution

When running via npx or published binary, ChatPPT can be configured to target a specific workspace using the --workspace flag or environment variables:

{
  "servers": {
    "chatppt": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@jparkerdiamond/chatppt", "--workspace", "${workspaceFolder}"]
    }
  }
}

Workspace Behavior & Security Boundaries

ChatPPT operates on a deterministic workspace root resolved in the following priority order:

  1. Command line argument: --workspace or -w
  2. Environment variable: CHATPPTWORKSPACEROOT or WORKSPACE_ROOT
  3. Fallback: process.cwd() (current working directory)

Files & Directories Managed

  • Presentations: /presentations/.pptx
  • Registry & Metadata: /.chatppt/registry.json

Security & Trust Boundaries

  • Path Isolation: All deck paths, temporary write buffers, and image element paths are strictly checked to ensure they reside within the configured workspace.
  • Path Traversal Protection: Deck IDs must match ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$. Absolute paths or relative paths attempting directory traversal (..) outside the workspace root are caught and rejected with ValidationError.

Known Limitations

  • Encrypted Presentations: Encrypted or password-protected .pptx presentations are detected and rejected.
  • Master / Theme Layout Authoring: Slide creation uses layouts built into the deck template; creating custom slide master themes from scratch is deferred to post-1.0.

Available MCP Tools

Deck Management (deck_*)

  • deck_create: Create a new blank presentation deck.
  • deck_list: List all managed decks in the workspace.
  • deck_read: Read metadata and slide/collection list for a deck.
  • deck_update: Update deck metadata (title) with optional optimistic revision check (expectedRevision).
  • deck_delete: Permanently delete a deck and its .pptx file.
  • deck_validate: Run diagnostic invariant checks across PPTX content and registry metadata.
