Link to repo: GitHub - ed-donner/showcase: Project for AI bootcamp students to showcase their expertise

Link to MCP server: https://vipfapwm3x.us-east-1.awsapprunner.com/mcp

Please build a prototype of a Customer Support chatbot for customers of a company that sells computer products (monitors, printers, etc).

The company has provided an MCP server using Streamable HTTP for accessing features they’d like to make available:

MCP_SERVER_URL=https://vipfapwm3x.us-east-1.awsapprunner.com/mcp

Please create a simple prototype and deploy it as a demo.

The prototype should use a cheap LLM (flash or mini level).

At a minimum, the prototype should have a demo UI and be deployed to a demo cloud like HuggingFace Spaces.

Optionally, you could build a full UI and deploy to Vercel, GCP, AWS or Azure.

Timeline:

Video 1: I will send a link at 9.15am ET; please submit by 9.30am ET.

Video 2: I will send a link at 10.15am ET; please submit by 9.30am ET

Video 3 + GitHub + chatbot URL + screenshots: I will send a link at 11.15am ET; please submit by 11.30am ET.

Remember to use this as an opportunity to showcase your expertise.

Don’t worry about making the video polished - just be yourself, make something interesting, and share the journey!
