## š Quick Start
### Deploy to Cloudflare (Production)
```powershell
# Option 1: Use the deployment script
.\deploy.ps1
# Option 2: Manual deployment
cd python-worker
wrangler deploy
cd ..
wrangler deploy
```
### Run Locally (Development)
```powershell
# Terminal 1
cd python-worker
wrangler dev --port 8788
# Terminal 2 (new terminal)
wrangler dev --port 8787
```
## šÆ Available Tools
### 1. add
Simple addition calculator
```json
{"a": 5, "b": 3}
// Returns: 8
```
### 2. calculate
Multi-operation calculator
```json
{"operation": "multiply", "a": 6, "b": 7}
// Returns: 42
```
### 3. create_presentation ā NEW
Creates PowerPoint files
```json
{
"title": "My Presentation",
"slides": [
{
"layout": "title",
"title": "Hello World"
},
{
"layout": "title_and_content",
"title": "Key Points",
"bullets": ["Point 1", "Point 2", "Point 3"]
}
]
}
```
## š Documentation Guide
### For Quick Start
1. **README.md** - Project overview and basic setup
2. **DEPLOYMENT.md** - Detailed deployment instructions
### For Usage
3. **EXAMPLES.md** - Practical examples and AI prompts
4. **python-worker/README.md** - Python Worker API docs
### For Understanding
5. **IMPLEMENTATION.md** - Technical architecture details
6. **This file (SUMMARY.md)** - Quick reference
## š How to Use
### Connect to Claude Desktop
1. Edit Claude Desktop config
2. Add your worker URL with `/sse`
3. Restart Claude
4. Start creating presentations!
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"presentations": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"mcp-remote",
"https://your-worker.workers.dev/sse"
]
}
}
}
```
### Connect to AI Playground
1. Go to https://playground.ai.cloudflare.com/
2. Enter: `https://your-worker.workers.dev/sse`
3. See your 3 tools available!
### Use with API
```javascript
// MCP Client connecting to your worker
const client = new MCPClient("https://your-worker.workers.dev/sse");
await client.connect();
// Call the tool
const result = await client.callTool("create_presentation", {
title: "My Presentation",
slides: [/* ... */]
});
```
## š” Example AI Prompts
Try asking Claude or ChatGPT:
1. **"Create a 5-slide presentation about climate change"**
- AI will format it and call your tool
2. **"Make a sales deck for a SaaS product"**
- AI generates content + creates PowerPoint
3. **"Summarize this meeting as a presentation"**
- AI extracts key points + formats as slides
4. **"Create training slides about Python basics"**
- AI generates educational content
## š§ Troubleshooting
### Deployment fails?
```powershell
# Check Wrangler is logged in
wrangler whoami
# Login if needed
wrangler login
```
### Python Worker not found?
```powershell
# Deploy Python Worker first
cd python-worker
wrangler deploy
```
### Type errors?
```powershell
# Regenerate types
npm run cf-typegen
# Install dependencies
npm install
```
### Service binding error?
- Ensure Python Worker is deployed BEFORE main worker
- Check `wrangler.jsonc` has the service binding
- Run `wrangler deploy` again
## š Technical Details
### Technology Stack
- **Main Worker**: TypeScript, Cloudflare Workers, MCP SDK
- **Python Worker**: Python 3.11+, python-pptx, Cloudflare Python Workers
- **Communication**: Service Bindings (zero-latency, internal)
- **Protocol**: Model Context Protocol (MCP)
### Key Features
- ā
No authentication required (authless)
- ā
Zero-latency service bindings
- ā
Serverless architecture
- ā
Automatic scaling
- ā
Global edge deployment
- ā
Type-safe TypeScript
- ā
Validated with Zod schemas
### Architecture Benefits
- **Separation of Concerns**: TypeScript for MCP, Python for PowerPoint
- **Security**: Python Worker not publicly exposed
- **Performance**: Edge compute, minimal cold starts
- **Scalability**: Automatic scaling with demand
- **Cost**: Free tier covers most use cases
## š Success!
You've successfully migrated your Flask Python app to Cloudflare Workers!
### What Changed?
ā **Before**: Flask app on a server
- Manual deployment
- Server management
- Limited scaling
- Geographic latency
ā
**After**: Cloudflare Workers
- One-command deployment
- Zero server management
- Automatic global scaling
- Edge computing (fast everywhere)
## š Next Steps
### Enhance Your Service
1. Add more slide layouts
2. Support images and charts
3. Add custom themes
4. Implement templates
5. Add authentication
6. Track usage analytics
### Learn More
1. Explore python-pptx docs for advanced features
2. Try other Cloudflare services (R2, KV, D1)
3. Add more MCP tools
4. Connect multiple workers
5. Build a UI for your service
