⚠️ 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.

What It Does

Creates AI-generated presentations, documents, webpages, and social posts via Gamma MCP. No API key needed. No setup. Fully live via MCP.

Use for:

• YouTube class slides (Euron bootcamp)
• Client pitch decks (QuotaHit, Onsite, agency)
• Social media carousels
• Portfolio / "about me" decks
• Product landing pages (Gamma webpage format)
• LinkedIn documents

How to Trigger

Say any of these:

• "Create a Gamma presentation about X"
• "Make a deck for X"
• "Build a Gamma doc / webpage / social post"
• "Create slides for today's class"
• "Make a pitch deck for QuotaHit"
