Use Rhetis from AI Tools (MCP)
Connect an AI tool, check the connection without spending credits, and create and retrieve presentations.
On this page
Where MCP is available, an external AI tool can create presentations with Rhetis, check progress, and retrieve results. Sign in to Rhetis and choose a workspace and permissions during connection. The external tool’s account or organization policies may restrict custom servers.

Set up your tool
Add a custom connector under Customize › Connectors, enter a name and the URL above, and connect using OAuth. An authorized administrator may need to add it first for an organization.
Check the connection without spending credits
First check authentication in the external tool's connection list and Connect AI tools in the Rhetis profile menu. If you granted spaces:read, you can ask:
Use Rhetis get_workspace_context to check only the connected workspace and granted permissions. Do not start new work.
This read does not start work or spend Rhetis credits. Without that permission, check the connection list and authentication status. You do not need to generate a deck to test the connection.
Before creating a presentation
Check the connected workspace's balance, permissions, and finished brand/style. If no style is ready, prepare one in Rhetis Styles. A design choice question may appear after planning. PPTX availability and PDF watermarks follow the workspace's current export eligibility.
Example production request: “Create a board update from the approved Q3 2026 results. Use a prepared brand style and ask about figures that need confirmation.” This starts real work that may spend credits; it is not a connection test.
Progress, questions, and results
- Once work starts, check that job's progress. When it needs input, answer the displayed questions to continue.
- If the result is uncertain or being reconciled, check the existing job. Do not resubmit the request as new work.
- When retry is allowed, follow the returned retry instructions. For unresolved errors, send support the job identifier and exact error.
- Review the finished preview, deck identifier, and revision. Do not substitute a conversation identifier for the deck identifier when revising.
- If files need preparation, follow the indicated preparation action. Reading a deliverable does not always create its files.
- Download links expire. Check the expiry returned with the link and request fresh links for the same deliverable when needed. You do not need to generate another deck.
Credits and disconnecting
Creation and revision may use the connected workspace's credits. Canceling stops future steps, but processing already started may still incur usage. See plans and credits.
Tools outside granted scopes are hidden. Your account role and document access also apply. Revoke the connection in Rhetis under Connect AI tools › Connected tools. Hiding an entry in the external tool is different from revoking access in Rhetis.
Recognize a successful connection
| Result | Next action |
|---|---|
| Workspace and granted scopes are returned | Check it is the intended workspace. A successful read does not start a deck or grant every tool. |
| Authentication needed or connection expired | Repeat Rhetis sign-in and consent through the external tool's MCP connection. Never send a password in chat. |
get_workspace_context missing from the list | Check that its required spaces:read scope is allowed under Connect AI tools. Allow only the needed scope and refresh the connection state. Other tools require their own scopes. |
| Permission denied | Check workspace role and conversation access; ask the owner. Do not test the connection by starting generation. |
Revoking a connection removes future tool access; it is different from cancelling work already started. Check the same job's status and available cancellation action first. Neither cancellation nor revocation automatically refunds usage already incurred.
