## Main Changes of this fork
Uses Stable Diffusion (ForgeUI/Automatic-1111) API instead of together ai.
## Components
### Tools
The server implements multiple tools:
- ```create-presentation```: Starts a presentation
- Takes "name" as required string arguments
- Creates a presentation object
- ```add-slide-title-only```: Adds a title slide to the presentation
- Takes "presentation_name" and "title" as required string arguments
- Creates a title slide with "title" and adds it to presentation
- ```add-slide-section-header```: Adds a section header slide to the presentation
- Takes "presentation_name" and "header" as required string arguments
- Creates a section header slide with "header" (and optionally "subtitle") and adds it to the presentation
- ```add-slide-title-content```: Adds a title with content slide to the presentation
- Takes "presentation_name", "title", "content" as required string arguments
- Creates a title with content slide with "title" and "content" and adds it to presentation
- ```add-slide-title-with-table```: Adds a title slide with a table
- Takes "presentation_name", "title", "data" as required string and array arguments
- Creates a title slide with "title" and adds a table dynamically built from data
- ```add-slide-title-with-chart```: Adds a title slide with a chart
- Takes "presentation_name", "title", "data" as required string and object arguments
- Creates a title slide with "title" and adds a chart dynamically built from data. Attempts to figure out the best type of chart from the data source.
- ```add-slide-picture-with-caption```: Adds a picture with caption slide
- Takes "presentation_name", "title", "caption", "image_path" as required string arguments
- Creates a picture with caption slide using the supplied "title", "caption", and "image_path". Can either use images created via the "generate-and-save-image" tool or use an "image_path" supplied by the user (image must exist in folder_path)
- ```open-presentation```: Opens a presentation for editing
- Takes "presentation_name" as required arguments
- Opens the given presentation and automatically saves a backup of it as "backup.pptx"
- This tool allows the client to work with existing pptx files and add slides to them. Just make sure the client calls "save-presentation" tool at the end.
- ```save-presentation```: Saves the presentation to a file.
- Takes "presentation_name" as required arguments.
- Saves the presentation to the folder_path. The client must call this tool to finalize the process.
- ```generate-and-save-image```: Generates an image for the presentation using a T2I model
- Takes "prompt" and "file_name" as required string arguments
- Creates an image using stable diffusion api (ForgeUI/Automatic1111)
## Configuration
An environment variable is required for image generation via ForgeUI API
```
"env":
{
"SD_WEBUI_URL": "http://your-sd-webui-url:7860",
"SD_AUTH_USER": "your-username", // Optional: if authentication is enabled
"SD_AUTH_PASS": "your-password", // Optional: if authentication is enabled
}
```
A folder_path is required. All presentations and images will be saved to this folder.
```
"--folder-path",
"/path/to/decks_folder"
```
