This repository includes a local MCP wrapper so Glama can build, start, and inspect the server automatically.

The wrapper runs over stdio and forwards tool calls to the hosted Alai MCP endpoint:

- ALAI_MCP_URL- optional override for the upstream MCP URL
- ALAI_API_KEY- optional API key used when forwarding tool calls upstream
- api_key- alternate env var name supported for Glama placeholder arguments

Tool introspection works without credentials, which is enough for Glama to inspect the server. Real tool execution requires a valid API key.

The server accepts either a static API key or an OAuth 2.1 bearer token on the same endpoint.

Get a key fromgetalai.comand pass it in one of these headers:

Callget_themesto discover the themes available to your account (returns theme IDs and display names). A handful of built-in legacy theme names you can pass directly astheme_id:

- AURORA_FLUX
- MIDNIGHT_EMBER
- EMERALD_FOREST
- DESERT_BLOOM
- DONUT
- OAK
- PRISMATICA
- SIMPLE_LIGHT
- SIMPLE_DARK
- CYBERPUNK

OAuth-capable clients (Claude Desktop, MCP Inspector, Cursor, etc.) can use just the URL — the client will discover and run the OAuth 2.1 + DCR flow on first connect:

{ "mcpServers": { "alai-presentations": { "url": "https://slides-api.getalai.com/mcp/", "transport": "streamable-http" } } }

If you prefer to skip OAuth and use a static API key, add a header block:

{ "mcpServers": { "alai-presentations": { "url": "https://slides-api.getalai.com/mcp/", "transport": "streamable-http", "headers": { "api-key": "sk_your_api_key" } } } }
