Frequently Asked Questions

Does Google Slides automation require an API key?

No. Rube MCP uses a simplified authentication method. You only need to add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server. On the first use, you must complete Google account authorization via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS. After authorization, when the connection status is ACTIVE, you can use all features normally.

How do I automatically generate Google Slides from Markdown?

Use the GOOGLESLIDES_CREATE_SLIDES_MARKDOWN tool. Provide the presentation title and Markdown text. The tool automatically splits the Markdown into multiple slide pages. Each heading or delimiter creates a new slide page. This is the most convenient way to quickly create technical presentations and product documentation.

Can I bulk update existing presentations?

Yes. Use the GOOGLESLIDES_PRESENTATIONS_BATCH_UPDATE tool and provide the presentation ID and the update content. You can choose to perform simple text updates with the markdown_text parameter, or use the requests parameter to send native Google Slides API batch update requests for complex structural modifications.

Where can I find the presentation ID?

The presentation ID is the long alphanumeric string in the Google Slides URL, located between /d/ and /edit. For example, in the URL https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1A2B3C4D5E6F7G8H9I0J/edit, 1A2B3C4D5E6F7G8H9I0J is the presentation ID.
