Claude Gamma connectorWhat Claude can do in your Gamma account.
The Claude Gamma connector exposes 3 tools. 2 read your Gamma workspace (themes and folders), 1 creates new content in it, 0 are undocumented. Here: what Claude builds for you, what it cannot touch, and where Gamma's docs and the directory disagree.

What changes when Claude can reach Gamma
You already talk an idea through with Claude. With the connector, the same conversation ends with a real Gamma: Claude sends your outline to Gamma, which lays it out as a presentation, a document, a social post or a web page, and saves it in your workspace. No copy and paste between two tabs, no blank slide to start from.
A first draft deck from a meeting recap. You paste your notes, ask for ten slides for the sales team, and generate creates the Gamma. Gamma lets Claude set the tone, the audience, the language, the amount of text per card and the export format, with PDF and PPTX on the list.
On-brand from the first card. Before creating anything, get_themes lets Claude search Gamma's theme library, so a client proposal does not come out in the default look.
Filed where your team expects it. get_folders finds the right folder in your workspace, and Gamma says generated content can be saved to a specific location, so the draft lands in Marketing rather than at the root.
Now the part the directory sheet leaves out. Claude cannot edit a Gamma that already exists: Gamma says editing only happens in its own app. It cannot open or export an old deck either, because those tools are not on the sheet. Every generation uses Gamma credits. And nothing runs on its own: no tool fires when a form comes in or a file lands. For that kind of background job you want an automation tool, which is a different job; the Gamma Make integration covers that side, and the Integrations hub lists the rest.
The vocabulary in one minute
Five words you will run into while plugging Gamma in.
- Connector
- The link you set up once between Claude and an account you already have, so Claude can work in it while it answers you.
- Tool
- One named thing a connector lets Claude do. Claude picks the ones it needs on its own, and the directory lists them by name.
- Authorization
- The sign-in screen of Gamma itself, where you hand Claude the access it will use. Granted once per person, and you can take it back.
- Approval
- The confirmation Claude waits for before it goes ahead with something that changes your account, shown right in the chat.
- MCP
- The shared standard connectors are built on: it is what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service such as Gamma.
Plug Gamma into Claude in three steps
- 01
Find Gamma in Claude
In Claude's settings, open Customize, then Connectors, and look for Gamma in the list. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner has to switch the connector on before each member can connect.
- 02
Start the connection
Click Connect on Gamma's row, then sign in to Gamma in the window Gamma opens itself. If the link ever breaks or expires, use Disconnect and plug it back in.
- 03
Read the authorization screen
Gamma's consent screen lists what the app asks for: create gammas, read gammas, list folders and list themes in your workspace. That screen belongs to Gamma, not Claude, and it decides what the access covers.
The 3 tools of the Claude Gamma connector
Gamma gives Claude 3 tools: 2 that read your account, 1 that change something in it.
Two groups: what Claude reads in your workspace, and what it creates there. The names stay the ones Claude shows, in English.
- 2 read
- 1 write
What Claude reads (2)
2 toolsTwo lookups that help Claude prepare a generation without changing anything.
get_themes
Searches or browses Gamma's theme library so Claude can pick a look before it builds anything. You get a theme that matches the style you described instead of the default one.
get_folders
Lists or searches the folders of your Gamma workspace, so Claude knows where a new Gamma should go. It reads the folder tree and leaves it as it is.
What Claude creates (1)
1 toolOne tool that adds new content to your Gamma workspace. No source describes a confirmation of its own, so the general rule below applies.
generate
Approval: see the ruleBuilds a brand new presentation, document, web page or social post from your prompt, notes or draft, and adds it to your workspace. Tone, audience, language, images and export format can all be set in the request.
What Claude asks before it acts
By default, Claude stops and asks for your go-ahead before each action it carries out on an account for you. The request shows up in the conversation, at the moment it matters.
On a Team or Enterprise workspace, the owners decide whether a member can let some actions through without being asked every time. They can also limit what a connector may do for the whole organization, for instance keep reading open and close writing. That setting applies to everyone, and nobody gets around it from their own account. Claude also works with your Gamma rights and nothing more: a workspace you cannot reach stays out of its reach too.
Which plans include it
Out of the 819 sheets in the official directory, not one shows availability by plan. The connector by connector answer is published nowhere: that is a real gap in the catalogue.
The general rule is public: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner turns the connector on for the organization before each member can connect. For the current status, check the Gamma sheet in the official directory, from your own account.
Where this connector stops
A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you: nothing starts when a form comes in, a file changes or a deadline passes.
This connector is documented only by its publisher: no Claude help page covers it. The tool list is an observed floor, not a promise, since an admin can open actions that no public sheet shows. The directory's partner badge is not a security audit either, and Anthropic says so on every sheet: it does not choose the tools a publisher exposes and does not guarantee they behave as announced. Plug in what comes from a publisher you trust, here Gamma itself.
How many Gamma tools can Claude actually use?
- Claude directory sheet for Gamma ↗read on 30 September 2026Three tools: generate, get_themes and get_folders.
- Gamma MCP tools reference ↗read on 30 September 2026A much longer list, adding templates, multi-page Gammas, image generation, export and reading.
What this page followsNeither side is stale: Gamma documents its whole server, the sheet shows what the Claude connector exposes. For your account, the sheet is the one that counts. Gamma adds that some platforms review its updates before release, so check the directory sheet from your own account.
