Describe what you need and your AI assistant builds it in your AhaSlides account: a presentation with quizzes and polls, a survey, a course, or a PowerPoint deck with live slides. It can moderate live Q&A and turn your results into a report you can share. You sign in with your AhaSlides account, so there is no API key to manage.
AhaSlides MCP connects your AI assistant to your AhaSlides account. You describe what you want, and your AI will do the work for you.
Once it is connected, you can ask it to:
- Build presentations with 17+ slide types, including quizzes, polls, word clouds, brainstorms and content slides.
- Edit slides: titles, options, answers, images, speaker notes, timers and scoring. Reorder or delete slides, or skip one during a live session.
- Change the look: apply any theme, or set your own theme colours.
- Create and publish surveys, and courses with lessons and quick checks.
- Moderate live Q&A: approve or dismiss audience questions as they come in.
- Read your results: participation, quiz scores and poll results, saved as a report you can pin or share.
- Build a PowerPoint (.pptx) deck with live AhaSlides quizzes and polls built in.
- Keep your files organised: folders, My Files, sharing with collaborators and restoring from Trash.
What you'll need
An AhaSlides account (free or paid) and an AI assistant: Claude, ChatGPT or Claude Code.
For Claude (no code)
Click your profile and go to Settings, then Connectors. Click Add custom connector, paste the server URL into the Remote server URL field, then click Add. The first time you use an AhaSlides tool, sign in with your AhaSlides account.
ChatGPT (no code)
Open the Plugins tab and choose Browse plugin. Search for AhaSlides and add it to your library. The first time you use an AhaSlides tool, sign in with your AhaSlides account.
Claude Code (for developers)
Run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add ahaslides --transport http https://mcp.ahaslides.com/mcp
Or add this to your Claude Code MCP settings (settings.json or .mcp.json):
{ "mcpServers": { "ahaslides": { "type": "url", "url": "https://mcp.ahaslides.com/mcp" } } }
Signing in
The first time you use an AhaSlides tool, a browser window opens so you can sign in with your AhaSlides account (email and password, Google or Microsoft) over OAuth 2.0. After that, you're ready to go. For example prompts, recipes and troubleshooting, see the AhaSlides MCP getting started guide.
Create slides by just asking
Describe what you want and the AI builds it: quizzes, polls, word clouds, brainstorms, content slides and more (17+ slide types). Start from a built-in recipe such as Classroom lesson or Quiz game, or save up to 50 of your own.
Surveys, courses and live Q&A
Build and publish a survey or a course with lessons and quick checks. During a session, let the AI approve or dismiss audience questions when Q&A moderation is on.
Edit and organise
Update titles, options, answers, images and speaker notes, reorder or delete slides, or skip one during a live session. Keep presentations in folders and share them with collaborators.
Your theme, your colours
Apply any official, custom or team-shared theme, or set your own theme colours.
Results and reports
Ask for participation, quiz scores and poll results across your sessions, then save the answer as a report you can pin or share by link.
PowerPoint with live slides
Ask for a PowerPoint deck and get one .pptx file with live AhaSlides quizzes and polls built in. They run live in the PowerPoint desktop app with the AhaSlides add-in.
No API key, secure by default
Sign in with your existing AhaSlides account over OAuth 2.0. The AI can only reach the files your account can, does only what you ask, and you can revoke access any time from your Account Settings.
