Glama-deployable MCP wrapper for Alai presentations.
Glama-deployable MCP wrapper for Alai presentations. Exposed over MCP by the alai mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
AI presentation maker and slide generator for Claude, Cursor, and MCP clients. Create designer-level presentations, pitch decks, and slides from text. Export to PowerPoint (PPTX) and PDF.
Alai is an AI presentation maker and the fastest way to create high-quality, beautiful slides without design skills.
Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
api-key — sk_your_keyAuthorization — Bearer sk_your_keyping — Verify your API key and return your user IDgenerate_presentation — Create a presentation from text contentget_generation_status — Check async operation statusget_themes — List themes available to the authenticated userget_vibes — List vibes (visual styles) available to the authenticated userget_presentations — List all your presentationscreate_slide — Add a slide (classic or creative) to an existing presentationdelete_slide — Remove a slide from a presentationexport_presentation — Export to PDF, PPTX, or shareable linkgenerate_transcripts — Generate speaker notes for slidesYou will need 2 environment variables: ALAI_MCP_URL, ALAI_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Alai's toolset — api-key, Authorization, ping and 10 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by getalai; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
