The AhaSlides MCP server lets AI assistants like Claude work inside AhaSlides for you. Just describe what you want in plain language — no app-switching, no coding.
Once connected, you can ask the AI to:
- Build presentations —create a new deck or view everything inside it.
- Create & edit slides — 17+ types including quizzes, polls, word clouds and content slides. Edit text, reorder, delete, or skip slides during a live session.
- Change the look — browse themes and apply one to any presentation.
- Understand your audience — pull participation, quiz scores and poll results from your sessions.
