What does this do ?

I am looking for a solution to connect my PHP app to gamma to send in a paragraph long prompt and get back a PPTX.

(I mean, can I install it on a VPS at OpalStack)

anjanesh it looks like we meet their system requirements, you should be able set up it like so:

Create a new Node.js app and accompanying site.
Clone gamma-mcp-server into the app directory and deploy it like you would any other Node.js project on our platform.

I am assuming these MCP Servers don't have GPU requirement, right ?

sean

anjanesh the linked document does not mention anything about GPU.

I was under the assumption that all MCP servers require GPU because of the nature of AI

But the AI doesn't run locally on Opalstack, as far as I understand. So it's a non-issue.

So its as good as calling the API from my PHP app to Gamma's App anyway right ? - I am waiting for Gamma to release API keys to the public.

sean

anjanesh if you want to use an AI agent to interact with Gamma then you'll need the MCP server for that.

If you want to use PHP to interact with Gamma via their API then you don't need MCP for that.

Howdy,
MCP servers are typical JSON-RPC servers and do not require a GPU. The LLM which accesses the MCP server will require a GPU or APU or some other advanced processor, but since MCP is a web service our servers and services will host them fantastically.
MCP is framework which requires a few components. The LLM to do the tool work, the MCP Server to provide the tools, and the MCP Client to connect to the LLM and the various MCP servers. So each component has its purpose and requirements. Only the LLM requires GPUs, and to be honest most of the companies who hold this technology are monopolies, the open source landscape hasn't developed to a point where a company like ours could offer the LLM, although we are interested in it. So we provide tooling, and focus on the MCP server component of this ecosystem. If you have any more questions about MCP please send me a ticket at sales@opalstack.com and I would love to discuss them with you (My inbox is sales and I am the resident MCP/LLM expert)
