  • Which Google Slides decks did I change in the last 2 days?

  • Read the slide text in my product launch deck.

  • Replace the {{customer}} placeholder in the proposal deck with Acme.

  • Add a title and body slide to the feature review presentation.

Overview

List, read, and edit Google Slides presentations on a connected Google account.

AI clients can find a deck, read slide text, create a blank presentation, add slides, replace placeholder text, insert text into a shape, and delete a slide or shape.

Prerequisites

  • A Google account with Google Slides
  • A stackgate.ai account

Getting credentials

  1. Open Integrations → Google Slides.
  2. Click Activate, then Sign in with Google.
  3. Approve access to your presentations and Drive file names (needed to list decks).
  4. Return to My Integrations. The integration is ready for AI clients.

Google Slides uses the same sign-in as other Google integrations on stackgate.ai. You do not paste an API key.

Using with AI clients

  • Dedicated endpoint: POST /mcp/google-slides
  • Private gateway: google-slides__* tools

Typical workflow: list presentations, read a deck, then create or edit slides. create_presentation stores the title only. Add slides and text with the write tools. Pass revision_id from a read when you want an edit to fail if someone else changed the deck.

See Documentation for HTTP authentication and private gateway setup.

Troubleshooting

  • 401 or 403 - reconnect Google Slides from My Integrations.
  • 404 - the presentation id is wrong, or the file is not shared with the connected account.
  • 429 - wait and retry. Thumbnail calls use a smaller per-minute quota, so avoid fetching previews in a loop.
  • Empty list - the connected account has no Slides files, or consent did not include permission to list Drive file names.
  • Text edit did nothing - replace_all_text matches exact text. Read the deck first. insert_text needs a shape id from that read.
  • New slide has no text boxes you can target yet - read the presentation after add_slide to get placeholder ids.
  • Reconnect keeps the previous refresh token - if Google omits a refresh token, stackgate.ai keeps the previous one. If tools still fail auth, disconnect and connect again.

Available tools

  • list_presentations

    List Google Slides presentations the connected account can see. Optional name matches a substring of the file name.

  • get_presentation

    Get a presentation title, revision id, and each slide object id with shape text. Masters and layouts are omitted.

  • get_slide

    Get one slide, including shape object ids and text.

  • get_slide_thumbnail

    Get a short-lived thumbnail URL for one slide. The URL expires quickly. Each call spends Google expensive-read quota (about 60 per minute per user).

  • create_presentation

    Create a blank Google Slides presentation with a title. Slide content is added afterwards with add_slide, replace_all_text, or insert_text.

  • add_slide

    Add one slide to a presentation using a predefined layout. Read the new slide with get_presentation to learn placeholder object ids.

  • replace_all_text

    Replace exact text across a presentation, or only on the slides listed in page_object_ids. Use this to fill template placeholders.

  • insert_text

    Insert text into an existing shape. object_id comes from get_presentation or get_slide. New slides do not expose placeholder ids until you read them.

  • delete_object

    Delete a slide or page element by object id.
