🚀 Quick Start

Test Locally (Recommended Before Deployment)

1. Build the frontend:

   npm install
   npm run build
   

2. Install Python dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   playwright install chromium
   

3. Start the MCP server:

   python mcp_server_comprehensive.py
   

4. Test in browser:

   • Open http://localhost:7860
   • Open browser console (F12)
   • You should see: ✅ window.thumbnailAPI initialized and ready

5. Try the API:

   // In browser console:
   await window.thumbnailAPI.listLayouts()
   await window.thumbnailAPI.loadLayout('seriousCollab')
   await window.thumbnailAPI.exportCanvas()
   

6. Test MCP endpoint:

   curl -X POST http://localhost:7860/tools \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"name":"layout_list","arguments":{}}'

🎯 What AI Agents Can Now Do

Your AI agent can:

1. Start from scratch:

   • Set canvas size
   • Choose background color
   • Add text with custom fonts, sizes, colors
   • Add images (Huggys or custom)
   • Position and style elements
   • Export final thumbnail

2. Use templates:

   • Load pre-designed layouts
   • Customize text content
   • Replace placeholders with custom logos
   • Adjust colors and styling
   • Export

3. Complex workflows:

   • Search online for images (if integrated with existing smart server)
   • Download and process assets
   • Compose multi-element designs
   • Apply consistent branding
   • Generate variations

4. One-shot generation:

   • Single create_thumbnail call
   • Provide layout, title, subtitle, mascot
   • Get finished thumbnail in 3-5 seconds

🔄 Comparison: Before vs After

Before (mcp_server_smart.py)

• ❌ Limited to collaboration thumbnails
• ❌ Fixed workflow (logo fetch → layout → export)
• ⚠️ Only 3 tools available
• ⚠️ No direct object manipulation
• ⚠️ No custom layouts or text

After (mcp_server_comprehensive.py + API)

• ✅ ALL features accessible
• ✅ 50+ API methods
• ✅ 17+ MCP tools
• ✅ Complete object control
• ✅ Custom workflows
• ✅ Human-like capabilities

🎨 Usage Examples

Example 1: Simple Text Thumbnail

// Via window.thumbnailAPI
await window.thumbnailAPI.setCanvasSize('1200x675')
await window.thumbnailAPI.setBgColor('#f0f0f0')
await window.thumbnailAPI.addObject({
  type: 'text',
  text: 'Hello AI!',
  fontSize: 72,
  fontFamily: 'Bison',
  bold: true,
  x: 100,
  y: 100
})
const result = await window.thumbnailAPI.exportCanvas()
// result.dataUrl contains base64 image

Example 2: Layout-Based Thumbnail

await window.thumbnailAPI.loadLayout('funCollab')
await window.thumbnailAPI.updateText('title-text', 'AI-Generated Thumbnail')
await window.thumbnailAPI.addHuggy('game-jam-huggy', {x: 800, y: 300})
await window.thumbnailAPI.exportCanvas()

Example 3: Via MCP (AI Agent)

curl -X POST http://localhost:7860/tools -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
  "name": "create_thumbnail",
  "arguments": {
    "layout_id": "seriousCollab",
    "title": "HuggingFace x OpenAI",
    "bg_color": "light",
    "canvas_size": "1200x675"
  }
}'

Returns complete thumbnail in one call!

🚢 Deployment Options

Option 1: Keep Both Servers

• Deploy mcp_server_smart.py for simple logo-fetching workflows
• Deploy mcp_server_comprehensive.py for full control
• Let AI agents choose based on task

Option 2: Use Comprehensive Server Only

• Update Dockerfile to use mcp_server_comprehensive.py
• Provides superset of smart server functionality
• Single deployment, all features

Option 3: Hybrid Approach

• Add logo-fetching to comprehensive server
• Combine best of both worlds
• Most powerful but requires integration work
