⚠️ CRITICAL — How to Call Gamma

NEVER look for GAMMA_API_KEY in .env files. NEVER call Gamma REST API directly with fetch/requests. NEVER search for credentials — there are none to find.

ONLY correct way → call the MCP tool directly:

mcp__claude_ai_Gamma__generate(inputText, format, themeId, ...)

Auth is handled transparently by the MCP connector. Works in Claude Code (VSCode) and claude.ai web. If you see "key empty" or "API key not found" — wrong approach. Stop and use the MCP tool.

Use for:

• YouTube class slides (Euron bootcamp)
