+# 🏗️ Technical Architecture
+
+## Overview
+
+MCP Video Agent is a distributed application with a **Gradio frontend** (HF Space) and a **Modal serverless backend**.
+
+---
+
+## System Components
+
+### 1. Frontend (Gradio on HF Space)
+
+**File**: `hf_space/app_with_modal.py`
+
+**Responsibilities**:
+- User interface for video upload and Q&A
+- Rate limiting (10 requests/hour per user)
+- Session management
+- Communication with Modal backend
+- Audio playback and text display
+
+**Key Features**:
+```python
+# Rate Limiting
+class RateLimiter:
+    - Tracks requests per user ID
+    - 1-hour sliding window
+    - Automatic cleanup of old requests
+
+# Modal Integration
+def get_modal_function(function_name):
+    - Connects to Modal functions via MCP
+    - Uses MODAL_TOKEN_ID and MODAL_TOKEN_SECRET
+
+# Video Upload
+def process_interaction():
+    - Uploads video to Modal Volume
+    - Calls analyze function
+    - Calls TTS function
+    - Returns audio + text response
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. Backend (Modal Serverless)
+
+**File**: `backend/modal_app.py`
+
+**Deployment**:
+```bash
+modal deploy backend/modal_app.py
+```
+
+**Functions**:
+
+#### `_internal_analyze_video(query, video_filename)`
+```python
+Purpose: Analyze video using Gemini with context caching
+
+Flow:
+1. Load video from Modal Volume
+2. Upload to Gemini Files API
+3. Create context cache (first query only)
+4. Generate response using cached context
+5. Return analysis text
+
+Optimizations:
+- Context caching reduces cost by 90%
+- Cache TTL: 1 hour
+- Minimum 1024 tokens for caching
+```
+
+#### `_internal_speak_text(text, audio_filename)`
+```python
+Purpose: Convert text to speech
+
+Flow:
+1. Truncate text to max length (2500 chars)
+2. Call ElevenLabs API
+3. Save audio to Modal Volume
+4. Return success status
+
+Parameters:
+- Voice: "21m00Tcm4TlvDq8ikWAM" (Rachel)
+- Model: "eleven_multilingual_v2"
+- Format: MP3 44.1kHz 128kbps
+```
+
+---
+
+## Data Flow
+
+### First Query (Cold Start)
+
+```
+User → Gradio UI → Modal Volume (upload video)
+                 ↓
+        Modal: _internal_analyze_video
+                 ↓
+        Gemini Files API (upload video)
+                 ↓
+        Create Context Cache (store video context)
+                 ↓
+        Gemini Generate (with cache)
+                 ↓
+        Modal: _internal_speak_text
+                 ↓
+        ElevenLabs TTS → Modal Volume (save audio)
+                 ↓
+        Gradio UI ← Audio + Text
+```
+
+**Timing**: ~8-12 seconds
+**Cost**: ~$0.10 (full video processing)
+
+### Subsequent Queries (Cache Hit)
+
+```
+User → Gradio UI → Modal: _internal_analyze_video
+                 ↓
+        Gemini Generate (use existing cache)
+                 ↓
+        Modal: _internal_speak_text
+                 ↓
+        ElevenLabs TTS
+                 ↓
+        Gradio UI ← Audio + Text
+```
+
+**Timing**: ~2-3 seconds (75% faster!)
+**Cost**: ~$0.01 (90% cheaper!)
+
+---
+
+## Context Caching Strategy
+
+### Why Caching Matters
+
+Without caching, every query processes the entire video:
+- ❌ Slow (10-30 seconds)
+- ❌ Expensive ($0.10-0.30 per query)
+- ❌ Poor UX for exploratory queries
+
+With caching:
+- ✅ Fast (2-3 seconds after first query)
+- ✅ Cheap ($0.01 per cached query)
+- ✅ Great UX for conversations
+
+### Implementation
+
+```python
+# Create cache (first query)
+cache = client.caches.create(
+    model="gemini-2.5-flash",
+    config=types.CreateCachedContentConfig(
+        display_name=f"video-cache-{video_filename}",
+        system_instruction="Video analysis assistant...",
+        contents=[video_file],
+        ttl="3600s"  # 1 hour
+    )
+)
+
+# Use cache (subsequent queries)
+response = client.models.generate_content(
+    model="gemini-2.5-flash",
+    contents=[query],
+    config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
+        cached_content=cache.name  # Reuse cached video context
+    )
+)
+```
+
+### Cache Lifecycle
+
+1. **Creation**: First query uploads video and creates cache
+2. **Active**: Cache valid for 1 hour
+3. **Reuse**: All queries within 1 hour use cache
+4. **Expiration**: After 1 hour, new query creates fresh cache
+
+---
+
+## Storage Architecture
+
+### Modal Volume: `video-storage`
+
+```
+/data/
+├── video_1234567890_abc123.mp4    # Uploaded videos
+├── video_1234567891_def456.mp4
+├── audio_video_1234567890_abc123.mp3  # Generated audio
+└── audio_video_1234567891_def456.mp3
+```
+
+**Characteristics**:
+- Persistent across function invocations
+- Shared between all functions
+- Automatic synchronization
+
+**Usage Pattern**:
+```python
+# Upload video
+subprocess.run([
+    "modal", "volume", "put", "video-storage",
+    local_path, f"/{unique_filename}", "--force"
+])
+
+# Download audio
+subprocess.run([
+    "modal", "volume", "get", "video-storage",
+    f"/{audio_filename}", local_audio
+])
+```
+
+---
+
+## Security & Rate Limiting
+
+### Rate Limiter Design
+
+```python
+class RateLimiter:
+    def __init__(self, max_requests_per_hour=10):
+        self.requests = defaultdict(list)  # {user_id: [timestamp, ...]}
+    
+    def is_allowed(self, user_id):
+        now = datetime.now()
+        cutoff = now - timedelta(hours=1)
+        
+        # Remove old requests
+        self.requests[user_id] = [
+            t for t in self.requests[user_id] if t > cutoff
+        ]
+        
+        # Check limit
+        if len(self.requests[user_id]) >= self.max_requests:
+            return False
+        
+        # Record request
+        self.requests[user_id].append(now)
+        return True
+```
+
+**Features**:
+- Per-user tracking
+- Sliding 1-hour window
+- Automatic cleanup
+- Configurable limit via `MAX_REQUESTS_PER_HOUR` env var
+
+### Authentication (Optional)
+
+For Hackathon: **Disabled** (evaluators need direct access)
+
+For production:
+```python
+def authenticate(username, password):
+    return username == GRADIO_USERNAME and password == GRADIO_PASSWORD
+
+demo.launch(auth=authenticate)
+```
+
+---
+

+```python
+from google import genai
+
+client = genai.Client(api_key=os.environ["GOOGLE_API_KEY"])
+model = "gemini-2.5-flash"
+```
+
+**Key Features Used**:
+- Multimodal input (video files)
+- Context caching (cost optimization)
+- Safety settings (content filtering)
+- Streaming responses (future enhancement)

+    
+    text_response = analyze_fn.remote(query, video_filename)
+except Exception as e:
+    return f"❌ Analysis error: {str(e)}"
+```
+
+### Backend Errors
+
+```python
+try:
+    video_file = client.files.upload(file=video_path)
+    while video_file.state.name == 'PROCESSING':
+        time.sleep(2)
+        video_file = client.files.get(name=video_file.name)
+    
+    if video_file.state.name == 'FAILED':

+# 🎥 MCP Video Agent
+
+**🏆 MCP 1st Birthday Hackathon Submission**
+
+**Track**: MCP in Action - Consumer & Creative Categories  
+**Tech Stack**: Gradio 6.0 + Gemini 2.5 Flash + ElevenLabs TTS + Modal + Context Caching
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 What Makes This Special?
+
+An intelligent video analysis agent that combines **multimodal AI**, **voice interaction**, and **smart context caching** to create a natural conversation experience with your videos.
+
+### ⚡ Key Innovation: Smart Frame Caching
+
+Unlike traditional video analysis that processes the entire video for every question, this agent uses **Gemini's Context Caching** to:
+
+1. **First Query**: Uploads and deeply analyzes your video (5-10 seconds)
+2. **Subsequent Queries**: Uses cached video context (2-3 seconds, **90% cost reduction!**)
+3. **Smart Reuse**: Cache persists for 1 hour - ask multiple questions without reprocessing
+
+**Real-world Impact**: Turn a 10-minute video into a queryable knowledge base. Ask multiple questions in rapid succession, get instant answers with voice responses.
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Core Features
+
+### 🎬 1. Multimodal Video Analysis
+- Upload any video (MP4, max 100MB)
+- Powered by **Gemini 2.5 Flash** - Google's latest multimodal model
+- Understands visual content, actions, scenes, objects, and context
+
+### 🗣️ 2. Voice-First Interaction
+- Natural language responses via **ElevenLabs TTS**
+- Audio-first experience (hear answers immediately)
+- Full text transcripts available on demand
+- Supports conversational follow-up questions
+
+### ⚡ 3. Intelligent Context Caching
+- **First query**: Deep video analysis with full context extraction
+- **Follow-up queries**: Lightning-fast responses using cached context
+- **Cost optimization**: 90% reduction in API costs for repeated queries
+- **Automatic management**: No manual cache setup required
+
+### 🔌 4. MCP Server Integration
+Works as an MCP server for Claude Desktop and other MCP clients:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "video-agent": {
+      "url": "https://mcp-1st-birthday-video-agent-mcp.hf.space/sse"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Enable Claude to analyze videos directly in your conversations!
+
+### 🛡️ 5. Fair Usage & Rate Limiting
+- Built-in rate limiting (10 requests/hour per user)
+- 100MB file size limit
+- Designed for responsible shared resource usage
+
+---
+
+## 🎓 How It Works
+
+### The Smart Caching Pipeline
+
+```
+1. Video Upload → Modal Volume (Persistent Storage)
+                  ↓
+2. First Analysis → Gemini 2.5 Flash (Deep Processing)
+                  ↓
+3. Context Cache → Stored for 1 hour (Automatic)
+                  ↓
+4. Follow-up Questions → Instant responses from cache ⚡
+                  ↓
+5. TTS Generation → ElevenLabs (Natural Voice)
+```
+
+### Why This Matters
+
+**Problem**: Traditional video analysis processes the entire video for every single question, causing:
+- 🐌 Slow response times (10-30 seconds per query)
+- 💸 High API costs (full video processing each time)
+- 😫 Poor user experience for exploratory queries
+
+**Solution**: Context Caching enables:
+- ⚡ Fast follow-up queries (2-3 seconds)
+- 💰 90% cost reduction for subsequent questions
+- 😊 Natural conversation flow with your videos
+
+---
+
+## 📖 Use Cases
+
+### For Consumers
+- 📺 **Content Understanding**: "What's the main message of this video?"
+- 🔍 **Scene Search**: "At what point does the speaker mention AI?"
+- 📝 **Summarization**: "Give me a 3-sentence summary"
+- 🎓 **Learning**: Turn educational videos into interactive Q&A sessions
+
+### For Creatives
+- 🎬 **Content Analysis**: Analyze video aesthetics, composition, and style
+- 🎨 **Creative Inspiration**: "What visual techniques are used here?"
+- 📊 **Feedback**: Get AI feedback on your video content
+- 🔄 **Iteration**: Ask multiple questions to refine your understanding

+```python
+# Context caching with Gemini
+@app.function(timeout=600, volumes={"/data": vol})
+def _internal_analyze_video(query: str, video_filename: str):
+    # Upload to Gemini Files API
+    video_file = client.files.upload(file=video_path)
+    
+    # Create cache (first query)
+    cache = client.caches.create(
+        model="gemini-2.5-flash",
+        contents=[video_file, system_instruction],
+        ttl="3600s"  # 1 hour
+    )
+    
+    # Use cache for queries
+    response = client.models.generate_content(
+        model="gemini-2.5-flash",
+        contents=[query],
+        cached_content=cache.name  # Reuse cached context!
+    )
+```
+
+**Frontend Code** (`hf_space/app_with_modal.py`):
+```python
+# Rate limiting
+class RateLimiter:
+    def is_allowed(self, user_id):
+        # Clean requests older than 1 hour
+        # Check if under limit
+        # Record new request
+        return within_limit
+
+# Modal function calls
+analyze_fn = modal.Function.from_name("mcp-video-agent", "_internal_analyze_video")
+text_response = analyze_fn.remote(query, video_filename=unique_filename)
+```

+- ✅ **ElevenLabs**: Neural text-to-speech
+- ✅ **Gradio 6.0**: Modern UI framework
+
+### Innovation Points
+1. **Smart Caching Strategy**: Pioneering use of Gemini's Context Caching for video analysis
+2. **Voice-First UX**: Natural conversation experience with videos
+3. **MCP Integration**: Extensible as a tool for AI agents
+4. **Fair Usage Design**: Built-in rate limiting for shared resources
+
+---
+
+## ⚙️ Setup & Configuration
+
+### For Evaluators (Quick Test)
+No setup needed! Just:
+1. Upload a video (MP4, max 100MB)
+2. Ask questions
+3. Experience the caching speed on follow-up queries
+
+### For Developers (Self-Hosting)
+
+**Required Secrets** (in Space Settings → Secrets):
+
+1. **`GOOGLE_API_KEY`** (Required)
+   - Get from [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/apikey)
+   - Used for Gemini 2.5 Flash video analysis
+
+2. **`ELEVENLABS_API_KEY`** (Optional but recommended)
+   - Get from [ElevenLabs](https://elevenlabs.io)
+   - Used for voice synthesis
+   - Without it, only text responses will be generated
+
+3. **`MODAL_TOKEN_ID` & `MODAL_TOKEN_SECRET`** (For Modal backend)
+   - Get from `modal token new`
+   - Required if deploying with Modal backend
+
+4. **`MAX_REQUESTS_PER_HOUR`** (Optional)
+   - Default: 10 requests/hour per user
+   - Adjust based on your usage needs
+
+### Duplicate for Personal Use
+
+Want to use this without limits?
+
+1. Click **"Duplicate this Space"** button
+2. Add your own API keys in Settings → Secrets
+3. Adjust rate limits as needed
+4. You're good to go!
