Setup
Setup guide
- 11. Sign up for a Presenton Cloud account at presenton.ai and navigate to your account settings to generate an API key. 2. In Switchy, open your workspace settings and click 'Add Integration' under the MCP section. 3. Select Presenton from the list and paste your API key when prompted. 4. Click 'Connect' — Switchy will validate the key and confirm the connection. 5. Open any Project and type '@Presenton list templates' to verify the integration works; you should see a list of available presentation templates. 6. To generate a deck, upload source files with '@Presenton upload source files', then reference those file IDs in a generation request. 7. Use '@Presenton get async task status' with the returned task ID to check progress and retrieve the final presentation link once rendering completes.
What teammates see: by default, memories from Presenton are scoped to the Project (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

Starter prompts
Outline from Brief
@Presenton generate an outline for a 10-slide product launch presentation using this brief: [paste brief]. Use a standard business template and focus on problem, solution, market opportunity, and go-to-market strategy.
Deck from Uploaded Docs
@Presenton upload these three PDF case studies as source files, then generate a 15-slide sales deck using Smart Design template ID 'corporate-modern'. Emphasize customer outcomes and ROI data.
Check Render Status
@Presenton get the status for task ID 'abc123-def456'. If it's complete, provide the download link for the PPTX file.
Export Existing Deck
@Presenton export presentation ID 'pres-789xyz' as a PDF. I need a version to email to stakeholders who don't have PowerPoint.
List Available Templates
@Presenton list all standard templates and Smart Designs. I'm looking for something minimalist and tech-focused for an engineering roadmap presentation.
Example outputs
Illustrative - representative of the model's voice and quality, not literal recordings.
@presenton generate an outline for a Q4 product roadmap presentation using our uploaded strategy doc, then show me the slide structure before we commit to a full deck
Generated a 12-slide outline from your strategy document. The structure includes: Executive Summary (1 slide), Q4 Priorities Overview (2 slides), Feature Deep-Dives covering authentication improvements and analytics dashboard (4 slides), Resource Allocation (2 slides), Risk Mitigation (2 slides), and Next Steps (1 slide). Each slide lists proposed talking points and suggested visual treatments. This outline consumed 1 Presenton credit. Review the structure and let me know if you'd like to adjust before generating the full presentation.
The outline generation step lets you validate structure and content before spending additional credits on a full deck. Requires an API key with generation permissions. Uploaded source files persist in your Presenton account and cannot be removed via this MCP—manage file cleanup directly in the Presenton dashboard.
@presenton create a presentation from this outline using the 'Modern Corporate' template, then export it as PPTX so I can add speaker notes locally
Queued presentation generation job (task ID: prs_8x4k2m9). Generation completed in 47 seconds. Created 12-slide presentation 'Q4 Product Roadmap' using the Modern Corporate template. Exported to PPTX format (2.4 MB). Download link expires in 24 hours. This operation consumed 3 Presenton credits (2 for generation, 1 for export). The deck includes auto-generated layouts based on your outline's content types—charts rendered as placeholder visuals you can replace with live data.
Async generation prevents timeout on complex decks. The MCP polls task status automatically but won't block other work. PPTX exports preserve editable text and layouts; PDF/PNG exports are final renders. Credit consumption varies by slide count and template complexity—check your account balance before bulk operations.
@presenton list all presentations in my account created this month and summarize which templates were most popular across the team
Found 18 presentations created since December 1st. Template breakdown: 'Modern Corporate' used 7 times, 'Startup Pitch' used 5 times, 'Minimal Clean' used 4 times, 'Executive Brief' used 2 times. Average slide count: 14 slides per deck. Most common export format: PPTX (13 decks), followed by PDF (5 decks). Three presentations remain in draft status without exports. The 'Modern Corporate' template appears favored for internal roadmap and strategy decks, while 'Startup Pitch' dominated customer-facing materials.
List operations don't consume credits and provide metadata only—no slide content or previews. Useful for auditing team usage patterns or finding a specific deck by date range. The MCP can synthesize trends across presentations, but individual slide content requires separate fetch operations if Presenton's API exposes that capability.
Use-case deep-dives
When Presenton beats manual slide-building for agency teams
A 6-person consulting shop pitches three new clients a week, each needing a custom deck built from case studies, pricing tables, and team bios. Presenton's Generate Outline and Generate Presentation Asynchronously tools let the account lead dump source files into Switchy, review the outline in chat, then queue the deck while they move to the next pitch. The export tool handles PDF handouts and PNG social shares without reopening PowerPoint. This works when your decks follow repeatable structures and you have 20+ Smart Designs or Standard Templates configured in Presenton. If every pitch is a blank-canvas redesign, you'll spend more time tweaking outputs than building from scratch. Buy this MCP if you're generating three or more decks a week and your design system is already locked in Presenton.
Presenton shines for recurring slide updates at small scale
A 12-person SaaS startup sends the same 18-slide board deck every month with updated metrics, roadmap changes, and hiring charts. The CFO uploads a CSV and a roadmap screenshot to Switchy, asks the MCP to regenerate slides 4 through 9 using the company's Standard Template, then exports to PDF. The List Presentations and Get Async Task Status tools let the team track which deck version is live without opening Presenton's web UI. This scenario wins when slide structure is stable and data sources are predictable. If your board deck changes format every quarter or requires heavy design iteration, Presenton's async workflow adds latency without saving time. This MCP pays off when you're running the same deck template at least twice a month and the design is non-negotiable.
When Presenton handles bulk slide updates for onboarding teams
A 30-person customer success org maintains 14 product training decks that need quarterly updates when features ship. The enablement lead uploads release notes and screenshots via Upload Source Files, uses Generate Outline to preview slide changes across all 14 decks, then queues async jobs for the ones that need full regeneration. The List Smart Designs tool ensures every deck uses the current brand template. This works when your training content is modular and updates are batch-driven, not ad-hoc. If trainers are constantly tweaking individual slides or your decks require custom animations, the MCP's file-upload-and-generate flow is too rigid. Buy this if you're refreshing five or more decks per quarter and your team already trusts Presenton's design engine to handle layout without manual review.
Frequently asked
What does the Presenton MCP do in Switchy?
It lets AI agents generate PowerPoint decks, export them as PPTX or PDF, and manage presentations in your Presenton Cloud account. The MCP can create slide outlines from uploaded files, queue async generation jobs, and list your existing presentations and templates. Each generation or export operation consumes Presenton credits from your account.
Do I need a paid Presenton account to use this MCP?
Yes. You need a Presenton Cloud account with an API key and available credits. The MCP authenticates with that key and every presentation generation or export call deducts credits from your balance. If you run out of credits, the tools will fail until you top up your Presenton account.
Can the MCP delete or edit slides in an existing presentation?
No. It can list your presentations, generate new ones, and export them to PPTX or PDF, but it cannot modify slide content or delete decks. Uploaded source files also persist in Presenton permanently — the MCP has no delete capability. For edits, open the presentation in Presenton's web interface.
Why use this MCP instead of Presenton's web app directly?
The MCP lets AI agents trigger deck generation mid-workflow without you switching tabs. If your team already writes briefs or research docs in Switchy, an agent can upload those files and queue a presentation job automatically. For one-off decks or heavy design tweaks, the web app is still faster.
Who on the team should connect the Presenton account?
Whoever owns the Presenton Cloud subscription and API key. That person's credit balance will be shared across all agents using the MCP in Switchy. If multiple people need separate credit pools, connect different Presenton accounts in separate Switchy workspaces or use Presenton's team billing features outside the MCP.
