Create a presentation about fish, create some images and include tables and charts

Create a presentation about the attached paper. Please use the following images in the presentation:

Assuming you have SQLite MCP Server installed.

Review 2024 Sales Data table. Create a presentation showing current trends, use tables and charts as appropriate

```

`Arcade_ListApps`

See the apps the current caller can act on and whether they are connected. Returns each app's id, name, connected state, and (when connected) the account it is connected as. Call this to answer "what apps do I have?" or when the caller's connection state may have changed since the session started.

`MicrosoftPowerpoint_CreatePresentation`

Create a new PowerPoint presentation in OneDrive. The presentation will be created with a title slide containing the specified title.

`MicrosoftPowerpoint_CreateSlide`

Append a new slide to the end of an existing PowerPoint presentation in OneDrive. The slide will be added at the end of the presentation. Both title and body are optional to support layouts like BLANK or TITLE_ONLY. For presentations larger than 4 MB, the upload uses a resumable session. Concurrency protection (etag check) is best-effort in that case, since Microsoft Graph upload sessions do not support If-Match headers.

`MicrosoftPowerpoint_CreateTwoContentSlide`

Append a TWO_CONTENT slide with side-by-side content areas to a PowerPoint presentation. This layout is useful for comparisons, pros/cons lists, or any content that benefits from a two-column layout. For presentations larger than 4 MB, the upload uses a resumable session. Concurrency protection (etag check) is best-effort in that case, since Microsoft Graph upload sessions do not support If-Match headers.

`MicrosoftPowerpoint_GetAllSlideNotes`

Get all speaker notes from every slide in a PowerPoint presentation. Returns notes for all slides in one call, which is more efficient than calling get_slide_notes for each slide individually. Notes are returned in markdown format.

`MicrosoftPowerpoint_GetPresentationAsMarkdown`

Get the content of a PowerPoint presentation as markdown. This tool downloads the presentation and converts it to a markdown representation, preserving text content, tables, and chart data. Images and other media are represented as placeholders.

`MicrosoftPowerpoint_GetSlideNotes`

Get the speaker notes from a specific slide in a PowerPoint presentation. Speaker notes are returned in markdown format, preserving basic formatting like bold, italic, and bullet points.

`MicrosoftPowerpoint_SetSlideNotes`

Set or update the speaker notes on a specific slide in a PowerPoint presentation. Notes can be formatted using markdown: - **bold** for bold text - *italic* for italic text - __underline__ for underlined text - Lines starting with - or * become bullet points For presentations larger than 4 MB, the upload uses a resumable session. Concurrency protection (etag check) is best-effort in that case, since Microsoft Graph upload sessions do not support If-Match headers. - Indent with spaces for ne…

`MicrosoftPowerpoint_WhoAmI`

Get information about the current user and their PowerPoint environment.

The server implements multiple tools:
- ``create-presentation`: Starts a presentation - Takes "name" as required string arguments - Creates a presentation object -`add-slide-title-only`: Adds a title slide to the presentation - Takes "presentation_name" and "title" as required string arguments - Creates a title slide with "title" and adds it to presentation -`add-slide-section-header`: Adds a section header slide to the presentation - Takes "presentation_name" and "header" as required string arguments - Creates a section header slide with "header" (and optionally "subtitle") and adds it to the presentation -`add-slide-title-content`: Adds a title with content slide to the presentation - Takes "presentation_name", "title", "content" as required string arguments - Creates a title with content slide with "title" and "content" and adds it to presentation -`add-slide-title-with-table`: Adds a title slide with a table - Takes "presentation_name", "title", "data" as required string and array arguments - Creates a title slide with "title" and adds a table dynamically built from data -`add-slide-title-with-chart`: Adds a title slide with a chart - Takes "presentation_name", "title", "data" as required string and object arguments - Creates a title slide with "title" and adds a chart dynamically built from data. Attempts to figure out the best type of chart from the data source. -`add-slide-picture-with-caption`: Adds a picture with caption slide - Takes "presentation_name", "title", "caption", "image_path" as required string arguments - Creates a picture with caption slide using the supplied "title", "caption", and "image_path". Can either use images created via the "generate-and-save-image" tool or use an "image_path" supplied by the user (image must exist in folder_path) -`open-presentation`: Opens a presentation for editing - Takes "presentation_name" as required arguments - Opens the given presentation and automatically saves a backup of it as "backup.pptx" - This tool allows the client to work with existing pptx files and add slides to them. Just make sure the client calls "save-presentation" tool at the end. -`save-presentation`: Saves the presentation to a file. - Takes "presentation_name" as required arguments. - Saves the presentation to the folder_path. The client must call this tool to finalize the process. -`generate-and-save-image``: Generates an image for the presentation using a FLUX model
- Takes "prompt" and "file_name" as required string arguments
- Creates an image using the free FLUX model on TogetherAI (requires an API key)

A MCP server project that creates powerpoint presentations

Components

Tools

The server implements multiple tools:
- ``create-presentation`: Starts a presentation - Takes "name" as required string arguments - Creates a presentation object -`add-slide-title-only`: Adds a title slide to the presentation - Takes "presentation_name" and "title" as required string arguments - Creates a title slide with "title" and adds it to presentation -`add-slide-section-header`: Adds a section header slide to the presentation - Takes "presentation_name" and "header" as required string arguments - Creates a section header slide with "header" (and optionally "subtitle") and adds it to the presentation -`add-slide-title-content`: Adds a title with content slide to the presentation - Takes "presentation_name", "title", "content" as required string arguments - Creates a title with content slide with "title" and "content" and adds it to presentation -`add-slide-title-with-table`: Adds a title slide with a table - Takes "presentation_name", "title", "data" as required string and array arguments - Creates a title slide with "title" and adds a table dynamically built from data -`add-slide-title-with-chart`: Adds a title slide with a chart - Takes "presentation_name", "title", "data" as required string and object arguments - Creates a title slide with "title" and adds a chart dynamically built from data. Attempts to figure out the best type of chart from the data source. -`add-slide-picture-with-caption`: Adds a picture with caption slide - Takes "presentation_name", "title", "caption", "image_path" as required string arguments - Creates a picture with caption slide using the supplied "title", "caption", and "image_path". Can either use images created via the "generate-and-save-image" tool or use an "image_path" supplied by the user (image must exist in folder_path) -`open-presentation`: Opens a presentation for editing - Takes "presentation_name" as required arguments - Opens the given presentation and automatically saves a backup of it as "backup.pptx" - This tool allows the client to work with existing pptx files and add slides to them. Just make sure the client calls "save-presentation" tool at the end. -`save-presentation`: Saves the presentation to a file. - Takes "presentation_name" as required arguments. - Saves the presentation to the folder_path. The client must call this tool to finalize the process. -`generate-and-save-image`: Generates an image for the presentation using a FLUX model - Takes "prompt" and "file_name" as required string arguments - Creates an image using the free FLUX model on TogetherAI (requires an API key)
