# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcpppttranslator.git cd mcpppttranslator # Install dependencies python server.py --install-deps # Or use uv for faster installation python server.py --install-deps --use-uv

# Create virtual environment with uv python server.py --install-deps --use-uv --venv # Or specify custom path python server.py --install-deps --use-uv --venv --venv-path /path/to/custom/venv

Option 1: AWS CLI Configuration (Recommended)

Then add to your Amazon Q configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "ppt-translator": { "timeout": 300, "type": "stdio", "command": "python", "args": [ "/path/to/mcpppttranslator/server.py", "--mcp" ], "env": { "AWS_REGION": "us-east-1", "DEFAULT_TARGET_LANGUAGE": "zh-CN" } } } }

Option 2: Direct Credential Configuration

{ "mcpServers": { "ppt-translator": { "timeout": 300, "type": "stdio", "command": "python", "args": [ "/path/to/mcpppttranslator/server.py", "--mcp" ], "env": { "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "your-access-key", "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY": "your-secret-key", "AWS_REGION": "us-east-1", "DEFAULT_TARGET_LANGUAGE": "zh-CN" } } } }

Once configured, you can use natural language commands:
