Authentication and scopes

SlideWeave MCP uses OAuth for user authorization. A compatible client discovers the authorization endpoints, opens a browser, and receives tokens only after you approve the request.

Scope Grants
presentations:read List presentations and read their editable source and metadata.
presentations:write Create, update, and move presentations to trash.

Write access does not implicitly replace read access. Most editing workflows request both because a safe update starts by reading the latest source and checksum.

  • Use presentations:read for cataloging, analysis, and review.
  • Add presentations:write only when the client must create or modify decks.
  • Configure the client to ask for approval before write tools.
  • Review connected clients periodically and disconnect anything you no longer use.

Do not copy access or refresh tokens into prompts, chat messages, logs, or source control. The MCP client should store and refresh them using its own credential mechanism.

Disconnect the integration from Connected apps in SlideWeave. Active authorizations for that account and client are revoked together, so an old parallel grant cannot keep the client connected.
