🛠️ Technical Implementation

Model Context Protocol (MCP) Integration

@mcp.tool()
def exponential_sum(numbers: List[int]) -> float:
    """
    Calculate the sum of exponentials of numbers in a list.
    
    Args:
        numbers: List of numbers to compute exponentials for
        
    Returns:
        Sum of e^number for each number in the list
    """
    logger.info(f"Computing exponential sum for: {numbers}")
    return sum(math.exp(num) for num in numbers)

Asynchronous AI Communication

async def generate_with_timeout(self, prompt: str, timeout: int = 10) -> str:
    """Generate content from the LLM with timeout protection."""
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    response = await asyncio.wait_for(
        loop.run_in_executor(
            None, 
            lambda: self.client.models.generate_content(
                model="gemini-2.0-flash",
                contents=prompt
            )
        ),
        timeout=timeout
    )
    return response.text.strip()

Intelligent State Management

class KeynoteAIClient:
    def __init__(self, api_key: Optional[str] = None, max_iterations: int = 6):
        self.current_phase = "computation"  # "computation" or "visualization"
        self.visualization_steps = [
            "open_keynote_presentation", 
            "draw_rectangle_in_keynote", 
            "add_text_to_keynote"
        ]
