Hey everyone,

Yes, the wait is over 🙂

This feature won the poll on our Discord and we delivered!

It took us a bit more time than expected because… we are apparently the first in the world to integrate remote MCP servers with OAuth in Swift.

Gotta do what you gotta do for the community.

What's MCP? Why Should You Care?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard that lets you connect any tool—official or custom—directly to Alter. No more opening tabs. No more copying and pasting. No more context switching.

Think of it as giving Alter superpowers to work with the tools you already use.

How It Works

  1. Open Tool Manager → Remote MCP Servers tab

  2. Choose from official servers or add any custom remote MCP server

  3. Authorize once

  4. Choose which MCP tools you want to use

  5. Use everywhere in Alter

That's it.

Real Examples

Linear: Create issues, update projects, manage workflows—all without leaving Alter. You're in a conversation, need to log a task? Done. No tab switching.

Figma: Access designs, export assets, comment on files—seamlessly integrated. Reviewing a design mockup mid-conversation? Pull it directly into Alter without switching apps.

Canva: Create new designs, autofill templates with content, search existing designs—all from Alter. Need a quick social media graphic? Design and iterate instantly without leaving your workflow.

Where Can I find Official Remote MCP servers

A Note on MCP

MCP is still young, and we're adding official servers manually. Let us know which ones you want and which ones work well for your workflow. Your feedback shapes what we prioritize next.
