How to connect Google Slides to ChatGPT

1. 1. Enable Google Slides in Metorial

   In your Metorial portal, enable the Google Slides MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.

2. 2. Add a custom MCP server

   On ChatGPT web, open Plugins, select +, then Add custom MCP server.

3. 3. Paste your Metorial MCP URL

   Name it Metorial, paste your Magic MCP URL (<your-magic-mcp-url>), choose OAuth and accept the risk notice.

4. 4. Create and install the plugin

   Select Create as a plugin, install it and sign in to load Google Slides tools.

• Create Presentation: Creates a new blank Google Slides presentation with a given title.
• Add Image: Inserts an image onto a slide from a public URL, or replaces all shapes matching a text pattern with an image across the presentation.
• Manage Slides: Create, duplicate, reorder, or delete slides within a presentation.
• Replace Text: Performs bulk find-and-replace of text across an entire presentation.
• Get Presentation: Retrieves the full structure of a Google Slides presentation including all slides, page elements, masters, and layouts.
• Add Shape: Adds a shape or text box to a slide.
• Embed Sheets Chart: Embed a chart from a Google Sheets spreadsheet into a slide, or refresh an existing linked chart to reflect updated spreadsheet data.
• Batch Update: Sends multiple raw update requests to a presentation in a single atomic batch.
• Manage Speaker Notes: Read or update the speaker notes for a specific slide.
• Edit Text: Insert, delete, or style text within a specific text box or shape element on a slide.
• Delete Element: Deletes a page element (shape, text box, image, chart, etc.) from a slide by its object ID.
• Get Slide Thumbnail: Generate a PNG thumbnail of the latest version of a Google Slides page as a downloadable file.

• Type @ and pick the plugin. The selection applies to that message only, so @mention it again when a follow-up needs fresh Google Slides data.
• For write actions, ChatGPT may ask you to confirm first, depending on the app permissions and the action.
• Once published for a workspace, ChatGPT keeps a snapshot of the tool list. When your team adds Google Slides tools in Metorial, an admin refreshes the actions in Workspace settings before they appear.
• You can use several apps in one prompt, for example read Google Slides data and then create a ticket in another app.

Add custom MCP server is missing

Workspace policy controls it. On Enterprise and Edu, an admin grants the permission to create plugins with MCPs; ask them to enable it for you.

The plugin exists but no tools appear

Creating the plugin is not enough: install it from your plugins, then start a new conversation so ChatGPT loads its tools.

ChatGPT answers without using the tools

Pick the plugin with @ in the composer and name the action you want, for example "use Metorial to look up the latest ticket".
