Connect Google Slides in Corsair
Sign in to Google Slides once in Corsair. Corsair stores the credential encrypted and makes the Google Slides API calls for your agent, so it never goes into a prompt or a config file. Connect Google Slides
If your link lets the agent add apps, you can skip this: it gives you a sign-in link the first time it needs Google Slides. On a ChatGPT personal plan, connect Google Slides here first.

Add Corsair's MCP server to your agent
Every client uses the same address:
https://mcp.corsair.dev/mcpOpen Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the address, then select Connect.Add a custom MCP server with the address and choose OAuth. Personal plans get read tools only.Add to CursorOr add this to~/.cursor/mcp.json. Cursor opens Corsair to sign in the first time it connects.{ "mcpServers": { "corsair": { "url": "https://mcp.corsair.dev/mcp" } } }Run this, then run/mcpin Claude Code to sign in.claude mcp add --transport http corsair https://mcp.corsair.dev/mcpCodex, Gemini CLI, VS Code, Zed and other clients with OAuth sign-in work the same way. Clients without it, such as GitHub Copilot's coding agent, use a link's own address and an API key. Setup for every client

Sign in and choose what needs your approval
Your client opens Corsair to sign in. Pick a link: the apps your agent can use and a mode that decides what it may do without asking. In the default Cautious mode, Google Slides's read and write operations run right away and its 4 destructive operations wait for your approval. Strict mode asks before every write and refuses destructive operations, and Read mode allows reads only.
FAQ
Install corsair and @corsair-dev/googleslides, add the Google Slides plugin, and connect with OAuth. Then call methods like corsair.googleslides.api.batch.update() from your app. Corsair stores tokens, and syncs data per tenant.
Yes. Google Slides needs an OAuth app with scopes that match what you automate. Register the app in Google Slides, configure redirect URLs, then connect through Corsair or managed OAuth in Hub.
Yes. One Corsair client can hit Google Slides, GitHub, Notion, Stripe, and the rest. Trigger Google Slides from a webhook, push updates to Slack, or chain actions across plugins. Same tenant context across integrations, plain TypeScript.
Teams use Corsair for presentation editor for building and sharing slide decks, with slides, text, shapes, images, tables and speaker notes. Common builds include sync jobs, admin tooling, and agents that call Google Slides APIs from your backend. Local DB entities let you query synced Google Slides records without hitting the API on every read.
The SDK is open source. Self-host and you pay Corsair nothing for the integration layer. Hub bills for hosted auth and execution, not per Google Slides API call. Hub has a generous free tier. For hobby projects you can probably run the whole thing on free. Paid plans start to matter with more tenants or heavier traffic.
We maintain @corsair-dev/googleslides in the open repo. When Google Slides ships API changes, upgrade the package. Your call sites stay typed. You should not need to rewrite the integration layer each time.
No. Corsair does not read your Google Slides data or hold individual access credentials. Credentials stay in your database. API calls run on your instance. We do not store Google Slides data on your behalf.
Yes. Add https://mcp.corsair.dev/mcp as a custom connector or MCP server in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, Codex or any client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in, then sign in to Corsair. On ChatGPT personal plans, custom servers currently get read tools only.
Yes. Put Google Slides on a link in Strict mode and every write waits for your approval, while destructive actions are refused. The default Cautious mode asks only before the 4 destructive Google Slides operations. You can change a link's mode at hub.corsair.dev/me.
