Gamma remote MCP connector

  • Updated

The Gamma remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector in Optimizely Opal lets you generate, adapt, and organize visual content. Connect Gamma to Opal to create and manage visual content without leaving your AI workspace. These tools connect directly to your Gamma workspace. Use them to create AI-driven presentations and webpages, remix templates for different audiences, apply custom themes, manage folders, and export your materials.

The Gamma remote MCP is managed by Gamma. See Set up the MCP server in Gamma's developer documentation.

First, an Opal administrator must Connect the Gamma remote MCP to Opal. After adding the MCP server, individual Opal users and agent builders log in to Gamma to access their information from Opal. Administrators need to add the Gamma remote MCP only once.
