Developer resources

Connect an agent to SlideDrift.

SlideDrift exposes one supported integration surface: an OAuth-protected MCP server for planning, creating, editing, exporting, sharing, and scheduling LinkedIn carousels. The resources below are public and machine-readable. Private browser APIs are not a supported developer contract.

Permission model

SlideDrift binds each OAuth token to the MCP resource and an enabled account connection. The server validates issuer, audience, expiry, ownership, and scope before a tool runs. Current consent grants the scope set as one connection bundle; selective scope grants are not yet available in the UI.

carousels:read: Read owned carousels, templates, jobs, credits, campaigns, and schedule state.
carousels:write: Create and edit owned carousels and campaign drafts after required confirmations.
brand_kits:read: Read brand kits owned by the connected SlideDrift account.
exports:create: Create paid PDF or PNG exports after an exact quote and confirmation.
shares:write: Create or disable public carousel share links after confirmation.
social:write: Create, update, schedule, or cancel LinkedIn posts after the relevant confirmation.

Errors and recovery

Unknown public API routes return JSON problem details with a stable code, readable detail, and resolution hint. MCP transport errors use JSON-RPC or OAuth bearer error shapes. Tool results add safe action URLs, retry guidance, quoted credits, and confirmation metadata where the workflow needs them.
