Use with AI

Connect your AI assistant to GAMS once, and it reads templates, reference documents and schemas word for word, with no links in your prompts.

Use public links without a connection

Paste open.gamstandards.com — or any collection link — alongside your prompt, and ask away. Every page, template, and reference here is optimised for AI: assistants can fetch complete question banks, schema definitions, and reference documents as clean text, straight from the link. No downloading, no uploading.

Try it
"Fetch open.gamstandards.com, find the DDQ collection, and draft answers to section 3 of the questionnaire from the attached fund documents."

Connect your AI assistant to GAMS directly

For everyday use, connect once and your assistant gets purpose-built tools: browse collections, read templates in full, and pull JSON schemas — no links needed in your prompts.

GAMS Standards · MCP server
https://open.gamstandards.com/mcp
Streamable HTTP · read-only. Works with any assistant or agent that supports the Model Context Protocol. No account needed to browse and read. The search and ask tools ask you to sign in with a GAMS account the first time you use them.

Install the GAMS plugin

Each package connects your assistant to the server above and adds a skill on using the library well: which tool to call first, how to cite the exact question or clause, how to respect each collection's license, and to keep your own documents on your side. Plain text only, read-only, no secrets; every build is reproducible, so you can check the download against its checksum.
