AI assistants connected to Relevance AI via MCP can access the full Slide Builder — creating presentations, managing BrandKits and Templates, exporting slides, and working with version history — all through natural language prompts.

​
Quick start

1

Connect the MCP server

Set up the Relevance AI MCP server for your AI client. Follow the instructions on the MCP Server page for your specific client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT, and others).
2

Authenticate

When you first connect, you will be prompted to authenticate with your Relevance AI account. Authentication is per project — you will have access to the Slide Builder in whichever project you log in to.
3

Start building

You’re ready to go. Try one of the example prompts below or describe the presentation you want to create.

​
Available capabilities

Once connected via MCP, your AI assistant can perform all Slide Builder operations:

Create presentations

Generate slide decks from a prompt, topic description, or existing content.

Manage BrandKits

Create, update, list, and delete BrandKits to keep presentations on-brand.

Create and apply templates

Save presentation structures as reusable templates and apply them to new decks.

Export slides

Export presentations as PDF, Images, PPTX, or JSON.

Remix designs

Refresh slide designs while keeping content intact.

Incremental building

Build one slide at a time or in batches — review the outline before committing to the full deck.

Version history

Access and restore previous versions of a presentation.

Dynamic updates

Modify, rearrange, or update individual slides after the initial build.

​
Example prompts

> Create a 10-slide pitch deck for a B2B SaaS product that automates expense reporting

> Build a presentation about Q3 sales performance using the data in this CSV

> Create an onboarding deck for new sales hires — cover our product, ICP, and sales process

​
Working with BrandKits via MCP

BrandKits define the visual identity of your presentations — colours, fonts, logos, tone, and design guidelines. Your AI assistant can manage BrandKits directly:
Describe your brand and provide references, and your assistant will create a BrandKit:
> Create a BrandKit called "Tech Startup" — our primary colour is #2563EB,
  secondary is #1E40AF, we use Inter for body text and Sora for headings,
  and our tone is confident and direct
Specify which BrandKit to use when creating slides:
> Create a 6-slide investor update using the "Acme Corp" BrandKit
Ask your assistant to show you what BrandKits are available:
> List all BrandKits in this project and show the colour palette for each one
Remove a BrandKit you no longer need:
> Delete the BrandKit called "Old Brand 2023"

​
Working with templates via MCP

Templates capture the structure of a successful slide deck so you can reuse it. Your AI assistant can create, list, and apply templates:
After building a deck you’re happy with, save it for future reuse:
> Save the current presentation as a template called "Quarterly Business Review"
Apply a template when starting a new deck:
> Use the "Quarterly Business Review" template to create a presentation for Q4 2025
You can apply both a template (for structure) and a BrandKit (for visual identity) together:
> Create a presentation using the "Standard Pitch" template and the "Acme Corp" BrandKit,
  covering our new enterprise product launch

​
Exporting presentations via MCP

Your AI assistant can export completed presentations in four formats:
FormatUse case
PDFSharing or printing the complete deck
ImagesEmbedding individual slides in other documents
PPTXEditing in Microsoft PowerPoint or Google Slides
JSONSaving slide data to recreate or reference in a future session
Exported slides show the static final state of each slide. Animations and moving elements are not preserved in exported files.
Example: 
> Export the current presentation as a PDF and also as a PPTX file

​
Troubleshooting

  • Verify you have completed authentication with the MCP server
  • Check that your Relevance AI project has Slide Builder access
  • Try disconnecting and reconnecting the MCP server
  • Make sure you have an active Relevance AI account
  • Confirm you have access to the project you are trying to connect to
  • Try removing and re-adding the MCP server connection in your client
  • Check that your prompt includes enough context for the assistant to build from
  • If the deck is large (10+ slides), try using incremental building — ask for the outline first, then build in batches
  • For complex presentations, break the task into steps: create the outline, review it, then build
  • Verify the BrandKit name matches exactly — ask your assistant to list all BrandKits first
  • Make sure the BrandKit was saved successfully before referencing it in a new session
  • Try explicitly specifying the BrandKit: “Use the BrandKit named ‘Acme Corp’”
  • Confirm slides have been fully built before attempting an export
  • Try specifying the format explicitly: “Export as PDF”
  • If export fails, try regenerating the slides first and then exporting
