With its recent AI makeover, it can do more than just help you write code. You can connect your applications to it and let LLMs automate many of the mundane tasks in your workflow. In this guide, I will explain how to connect Gamma with VS Code in the most secure and robust way possible via Composio. ## Also integrate Gamma with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/cursor) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio? Composio provides: - Access to 1,000+ managed apps from a single MCP endpoint. This makes it convenient for agents to run cross-app workflows. - Programmatic tool calling. Allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling. - Large tool response handling outside the LLM context. This minimizes context bloat from large tool responses. - Dynamic just-in-time access to thousands of tools across hundreds of apps. Composio loads the tools your agent needs, so LLMs are not overwhelmed by tools they do not need. ## Connect Gamma to VS Code ### Integrate Gamma MCP with VS Code ### 1. Install with one click Click the button below to add Composio to VS Code. You will be prompted to authorize. This requires VS Code 1.99+ with GitHub Copilot. [+Install in VS Code](vscode:mcp/install?%7B%22name%22%3A%22composio%22%2C%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.composio.dev%2Fmcp%22%7D) ### 2. Or add manually Open or create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root and add the following configuration: ```bash { "servers": { "composio": { "type": "http", "url": "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp" } } } ``` ## What is the Gamma MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Gamma MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Gamma account. It provides structured and secure access to Gamma’s AI-powered content creation platform, so your agent can generate new presentations, monitor generation progress, and retrieve finished files on your behalf. - AI-driven presentation generation: Instantly create beautiful, interactive decks or documents through simple prompts, letting your agent handle the heavy lifting. - Automated content creation: Ask your agent to produce engaging summaries, reports, or educational material as shareable Gamma presentations. - Real-time generation status tracking: Have your agent monitor the progress of each presentation request and keep you updated on completion status. - Direct retrieval of generated files: Let your agent fetch download URLs for finished Gamma files, making it easy to share or embed them anywhere. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `GAMMA_CREATE_FROM_TEMPLATE` | Create from Template | Tool to create new Gamma content based on an existing template. Use when you need to generate content with a predefined structure/layout by providing custom instructions and prompt. The API creates content asynchronously. This action polls the generation status and returns the gammaUrl when complete, or a generationId if the 2-minute timeout is reached. | | `GAMMA_GENERATE_GAMMA` | Generate a Gamma | Generate a Gamma presentation, document, webpage, or social media content using AI. Documentation: https://developers.gamma.app/docs/generate-api-parameters-explained The API creates content asynchronously. Poll the returned generationId to check status. | | `GAMMA_GET_GAMMA_FILE_URLS` | Get Gamma File URLs | Retrieve generation status and file URLs. Poll this endpoint every ~5 seconds until status is 'completed'. Docs: https://developers.gamma.app/reference/get-generation-status | | `GAMMA_LIST_FOLDERS` | List Folders | Tool to retrieve a paginated list of folders in your Gamma workspace. Use when you need folder IDs to organize generated content or to search for specific folders by name. | | `GAMMA_LIST_THEMES` | List Themes | Fetch the list of themes available in your workspace. Returns both standard (global) and custom (workspace-specific) themes in a paginated format. Use this to discover available theme IDs and names for use with the Generate API. Filter by name using the query parameter. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK Once connected, VS Code can access the Gamma MCP server via Composio to run the app actions you authorize, directly from your coding workflow. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward Now that Gamma is connected, extend your setup by connecting the other apps you already use every day, so your agent can run true cross-app workflows end to end. - Connect Calendar to turn threads into scheduled meetings automatically. - Connect Slack or Teams to post summaries, approvals, and alerts where your team works. - Connect Notion, Linear, Jira, or Asana to convert requests into tickets, tasks, and docs. - Connect Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to fetch, file, and share attachments without manual steps. - Connect HubSpot or Salesforce to log customer context, update records, and draft follow-ups. Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single MCP endpoint, your agent can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation. ## How to build Gamma MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/cursor) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gamma/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Figma](https://composio.dev/toolkits/figma) - Figma is a collaborative interface design tool for teams and individuals.

With a standalone Gamma MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Gamma tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Gamma and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with VS Code? Yes, you can. VS Code fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Gamma tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Gamma while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Gamma scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Gamma data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
