Decktopus AI is available as a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. This allows Claude and other MCP-compatible LLMs to connect directly to Decktopus and create presentations inside a conversation.
MCP Server URL: https://apiv21.decktopus.com/mcp
How to Connect in Claude
In any chat, click the + icon in the message box
Select Connectors
Click Add connector > Add custom connector
Name the connector (e.g. "Decktopus") and paste the server URL into the URL field
Click Continue — authentication and OAuth client settings are auto-detected, leave them as-is
Click Add
Complete the OAuth sign-in on decktopus.com when prompted
Enable the connector from the + menu inside a chat — new connectors are off by default
How to Use
Once connected and enabled, type a Decktopus-related request in any chat (e.g. "create a Q3 presentation for the board").
The first time Claude uses each Decktopus tool, it asks for your approval. Options are:
Deny — block the action
Allow once — approve this time, ask again next time
Always allow — skip future prompts for that tool
A single request can trigger multiple tools in sequence (e.g. Check AI Credits, List Organizations, Create Presentation), each requiring separate approval on first use.
Typical Flow
You submit a request describing your presentation
Claude may ask a clarifying question (topic, audience, purpose)
Relevant Decktopus tools run in sequence, each requesting approval on first use
If your personal workspace has no credits, Claude offers to check the organization workspace instead
Your presentation is generated and the result is shown in the chat with a live link
Team and Enterprise Setup
Only an Owner can add the connector at the organization level, via Organization settings > Connectors. Members then connect individually from their own account.
Limitations
Custom connectors cannot be added from the mobile app. They must be added via web or desktop first, after which they become available on mobile.
That's all!
