Available Tools
NextDocs MCP provides three tools:
create_presentation
Creates canvas-based slide presentations. Perfect for pitch decks, sales presentations, training materials, and visual storytelling.
create_document
Creates professional documents — either canvas-based (fixed pages) or pageless (continuous flow). Great for resumes, proposals, reports, and whitepapers.
hello
A simple connectivity test that returns a greeting. Use it to verify your connection is working before creating documents.

Key Features
Multi-Variant Generation
Generate 2-4 design variations simultaneously. Each variant has different structure, visual direction, and layout approach. Compare side-by-side and pick your favorite.
AI-Generated Themes
Set theme_mode to "auto" (default) and NextDocs analyzes your prompt to generate custom color themes that match your content. A presentation about "Ocean Conservation" might get Deep Sea Blue, Aquatic Teal, or Marine Green themes.
Fast vs Quality Models
- fast (default): Optimized for quick generation, typically under a minute
- quality: More powerful models for complex content, better for detailed topics
Canvas vs Pageless Documents
- Canvas: Page-based with fixed dimensions, perfect for presentations and PDF exports
- Pageless: Continuous flow without page breaks, ideal for long-form content and articles

OpenYURY SAKHONCHYK🙏 71 karmaApr 18, 2024@MagicSlides.app AI PPT MakerThere is nothing here that meets the presentation requirements. The slides are monotonous and boring; it's as if I just copied my entire text and pasted it onto 10 slides - there's no value in that. The information is inconvenient and uninteresting to read. It's even summarised and organized worse than I could do it in 5 mins. It's better to use free GPT and put all into slides then use this. Omg it's really very bad, extremely poor, and I will never use it again.

Makes it easy to get started with a presentation if you have an outline, but as soon as you want more control, you're better off using Google Slides. Gamma's feature that I used the most was image generation - you can select among a variety of models (Ideogram, Flux, DALL-E, but not Midjourney), and it shows 3 variations to choose from. Performance is slow and a little janky, even in Chrome. Prompts and settings are often not respected - e.g. you set it to "preserve text" and just generate slides, and it goes onto dumping an entire 3 paragraphs of text in one slide. You can't overlay text over images (e.g. for image attribution), and there's no precise positioning control, or grouping elements. No way to control table layout, e.g. to have two images slide-by-side in full bleed mode. I tried Gamma for a new presentation, but next time I need to make a presentation, I'll go back to Google Slides and generate images independently.

Using it on day-to-day basis to create presentations for my real estate clients. It's good.

It does it's job and I love that it has a lifetime plan

A very useful AI slides tool! The content it generates is genuinely smart.
