**Opera Expands MCP Compatibility Beyond Neon**
Following the recent introduction of MCP compatibility in Opera Neon, Opera is now incorporating its browser connector feature into Opera One and Opera GX. Here’s what that entails.
A few weeks back, Opera revealed that Opera Neon, its subscription-driven agentic browser, had achieved MCP compatibility, empowering users to link external AI tools directly to their ongoing browsing experiences. Essentially, this functionality allowed Opera Neon subscribers to permit chatbots and tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Lovable, n8n, and OpenClaw to access tabs, engage with pages, and perform actions on their behalf.
Today, Opera is broadening this MCP compatibility to include Opera One and Opera GX, meaning that the feature is no longer exclusive to Opera Neon subscribers.
MCP is an open standard that links AI models (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude) to external platforms (like Notion, Google Drive, Slack, GitHub, and Zapier).
Opera emphasizes that the launch of the Browser Connector on Opera One and Opera GX reinforces the company’s dedication to user choice, ensuring “users aren’t restricted to a single company’s ecosystem, but are instead free to mix the best tools for their individual requirements,” as stated by Mohamed Salah, Senior Director of Product at Opera.
To activate the Browser Connector feature, users can navigate to Settings, search for AI Services, install Browser Connector, and then link their preferred LLM.
