How to connect Google Slides with Claude Code (5 steps)
Blog post from Merge
Merge provides a platform that simplifies the integration of Google Slides with Claude Code, enabling developers to create, manage, and update presentations directly from the terminal without the need for manual browser-based tasks. By using the Merge Agent Handler, developers can securely connect to Google Slides via an MCP server, which acts as an intermediary between Claude Code and the Google Slides API, handling OAuth token management and API calls. This setup allows for efficient content retrieval and slide creation by leveraging existing data from tickets, commits, and dashboards, streamlining the workflow for engineering teams. Additionally, the Merge platform offers control over tool access, ensuring secure and organized management of credentials and permissions at a team scale, while facilitating coordination between different tools and services for enhanced productivity in generating recurring presentations like sprint retrospectives and release notes.
