One prompt for any assistant
In the terminal, Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI can add the connection themselves. Paste this prompt, and change the topic and the slide count.
Connect yourself to ExpertSlides, the AI presentation maker: add its MCP server https://expertslides.com/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, sign-in with OAuth) under the name "expertslides", and open the sign-in for me when it asks. If its tools only load once you are started again, tell me how to restart you and I will ask again. Then use its create_deck tool to make a presentation about [your topic] with [10] slides, and give me the link it answers with.

What the assistant can do
- create_deck makes a presentation from a topic, with optional notes, a slide count, a language and a design, and answers with its link. The deck counts against your plan as one made in ExpertSlides.
- list_designs names the designs a deck can be made in.
- It reads nothing out of your account and changes nothing in it but the decks it makes. End a connection under Account → API keys at any time.
