Google Slides MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Google Slides and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 54 Google Slides actions (3 reads, 44 writes and 7 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Google Slides credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Google Slides's limits and records every call. Connecting Google Slides needs your own Google Slides OAuth app and one admin sign-in.

Set up

Connect Google Slides in three steps.

01
Add actionlake to Claude.
Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us.
https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp
02
Connect Google Slides.
OAuth 2.0, authorization code with PKCE. You register your own OAuth app with Google Slides, an admin signs in once, and you paste the app's client id and secret and the tokens from that sign-in; actionlake renews the access token from then on. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key.
Before the first sign-in, Google Slides needs an OAuth app of your own, registered in its developer portal. actionlake has no Google Slides app to lend you.
- access_tokenAccess token from one sign-in with your own OAuth app
- refresh_tokenRefresh token from the same sign-in; the access token is renewed from it
- client_idGoogle OAuth client id
- client_secretGoogle OAuth client secret
```
account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "gws_slides" }
# free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you
```

Make the first call. Check before a write.

Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, check validates the call and prices it, for free.

Top actions

The Google Slides API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 2 of Google Slides's 7 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Governance for Google Slides

Destructive actions wait for a yes.

7 Google Slides actions are destructive. These are all of them:

Delete textgws_slides.text.delete
Delete paragraph bulletsgws_slides.bullets.delete
Delete a slide or page elementgws_slides.objects.delete
Delete a commentgws_slides.comments.delete
Delete a table rowgws_slides.table_rows.delete
Delete a table columngws_slides.table_columns.delete
Delete a comment replygws_slides.comment_replies.delete

A destructive action runs only with confirm: true. Under the human policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after.

Cost

What Google Slides costs on actionlake.

Every Google Slides action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call Google Slides refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

Questions

The Google Slides MCP server, answered.

Is there a Google Slides MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 54 Google Slides actions, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Google Slides.

What do I need to connect Google Slides?

Your own Google Slides OAuth app, registered with Google Slides (its client id and client secret), and the access and refresh tokens from one admin sign-in. actionlake has no Google Slides app of its own, so this is not a one-step consent. actionlake renews the access token as it expires. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "gws_slides" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in Google Slides?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 7 Google Slides actions are destructive, including delete text, delete paragraph bullets and delete a slide or page element. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it.

Will an AI agent use up my Google Slides API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Google Slides service file: 60 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (3 Google Slides actions can be), which never reaches Google Slides.

What does a Google Slides action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (54 Google Slides actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Google Slides refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

Which Google Slides API does it cover?

The Google Slides API v1 at slides.googleapis.com/v1. It is built from Google Slides's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 54 actions in 1 area, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Does actionlake keep my Google Slides data, and where?

actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to an hour, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Google Slides credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.

Which AI clients can use it?

Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
