# from the list there are two things Im interested that I would like to brainstorm, thats Trending Topics and Generate drafts with a prompt, Im not looking to fully generate posts with Ai since I do have editors that generate and the edit but having a tool that gives them say 5 to 10 trending topics on their own categori say movies or tv series really helps startthe engine with ideas and then after they have collect the info and notes then throw that into claude with a prompt so it could generate and draft and put it in the draft box or field where it goes into my Draft Content Manager, how could I use Cloudflare MCP, Claude and Perplexity for this? without been over complicated or overedundant? but still helping my editors to push content faster and easier?

Based on your Content Draft Manager code and workflow, I can see excellent opportunities to streamline your editors’ process with **Trending Topics Discovery** and **AI-Assisted Draft Generation**. Let me break down a practical, non-redundant approach using the MCP ecosystem.

## **Trending Topics Discovery System**

**Implementation Strategy:**
Your editors need fresh, relevant movie/TV content ideas. Instead of manual research, we can create an automated trending discovery system that feeds directly into your existing workflow.

**Technical Approach:**

“`javascript
/**
* Trending Topics Discovery
* Last Update: (current date) – Added MCP integration for trending discovery
* Purpose: Automatically discover trending movie/TV topics for editors
* Features: Real-time trending data, category filtering, direct draft creation
*/

async function discoverTrendingTopics(category = ‘movies’) {
// Perplexity searches for trending content
const trendingData = await perplexitySearch([
`trending ${category} 2025 box office`,
`upcoming ${category} releases this month`,
`viral ${category} discussions social media`,
`${category} streaming platform new releases`
]);

// Claude processes and ranks the topics
const processedTopics = await claudeAnalyze(trendingData);

return processedTopics;
}
“`

**Practical Benefits:**

– **5-10 trending topics** delivered daily to your editors’ dashboard
– **Pre-filtered by category** (movies, TV series, streaming)
– **Includes context**: Why it’s trending, potential angles, target audience
– **One-click draft creation** from any trending topic

## **Enhanced Draft Generation Workflow**

**Current Process Enhancement:**
Instead of replacing your editors, we enhance their existing research โ†’ draft process with intelligent assistance.

**Step-by-Step Integration:**

**Phase 1: Research Enhancement**

“`php
/**
* Research Data Enhancement
* Last Update: (current date) – Added MCP research assistance
* Purpose: Enhance editor research with AI-powered data gathering
* Features: Multi-source research, fact verification, content suggestions
*/

public function enhanceResearchData($imdbUrl, $editorNotes) {
// Your existing IMDB/TMDB data (unchanged)
$movieData = CDMIMDBFetcher::fetchMovieData($imdbUrl, $postId);

// NEW: Perplexity enhancement for additional context
$contextualData = $this->getContextualResearch($movieData[‘title’]);

// NEW: Claude analysis for content angles
$contentAngles = $this->generateContentAngles($movieData, $editorNotes);

return array_merge($movieData, $contextualData, $contentAngles);
}
“`

**Phase 2: Intelligent Draft Generation**

“`php
/**
* AI Draft Generation
* Last Update: (current date) – Added Claude MCP integration
* Purpose: Generate draft content from editor research and notes
* Features: Maintains editor voice, follows content guidelines
*/

public function generateDraftFromResearch($researchData, $editorPrompt) {
// Combine all research into structured prompt
$enhancedPrompt = $this->buildContextualPrompt([
‘movie_data’ => $researchData,
‘editor_notes’ => $editorPrompt,
‘content_style’ => $this->getContentGuidelines(),
‘target_length’ => ‘800-1200 words’
]);

// Claude generates the draft
$generatedDraft = $this->callClaudeMCP($enhancedPrompt);

// Auto-populate your existing draft fields
update_post_meta($postId, ‘cdm_ai_article’, $generatedDraft);

return $generatedDraft;
}
“`

## **Cloudflare MCP Integration Benefits**

**Performance Optimization:**

– **Cache trending topics** at edge locations for instant access
– **Rate limit protection** for your API calls to Perplexity/Claude
– **Global distribution** so editors worldwide get fast responses

**Workflow Automation:**

“`javascript
/**
* Cloudflare Worker – Trending Topics Scheduler
* Last Update: (current date) – Added scheduled trending discovery
* Purpose: Automatically discover and cache trending topics
* Features: Scheduled execution, edge caching, webhook notifications
*/

export default {
async scheduled(event, env, ctx) {
// Run every 6 hours
const trendingTopics = await discoverTrendingTopics();

// Cache at edge for instant access
await env.TRENDING_CACHE.put(‘movies_trending’, JSON.stringify(trendingTopics));

// Notify your dashboard
await notifyDashboard(trendingTopics);
}
}
“`

## **Practical Implementation in Your Dashboard**

**Enhanced Dashboard Integration:**

“`php
/**
* Trending Topics Dashboard Widget
* Last Update: (current date) – Added trending topics widget
* Purpose: Display trending topics with one-click draft creation
* Features: Category filtering, trend analysis, direct integration
*/

public function renderTrendingTopicsWidget() {
$trendingTopics = $this->getTrendingTopics();

echo ‘<div class=”cdm-trending-widget”>’;
echo ‘<h3>๐Ÿ”ฅ Trending Topics</h3>’;

foreach ($trendingTopics as $topic) {
echo ‘<div class=”trending-item”>’;
echo ‘<h4>’ . $topic[‘title’] . ‘</h4>’;
echo ‘<p>’ . $topic[‘why_trending’] . ‘</p>’;
echo ‘<button onclick=”createDraftFromTrending(\” . $topic[‘id’] . ‘\’)” class=”button button-primary”>Create Draft</button>’;
echo ‘</div>’;
}

echo ‘</div>’;
}
“`

## **Editor Workflow Enhancement**

**Before (Current):**

1. Editor manually searches for topics
2. Researches movie/TV show manually
3. Writes draft from scratch
4. Uses your 5-step process

**After (Enhanced):**

1. **Trending Topics**: Editor sees 5-10 trending topics on dashboard
2. **One-Click Research**: Selects topic โ†’ auto-populates IMDB data + contextual research
3. **AI-Assisted Draft**: Editor adds notes โ†’ Claude generates initial draft
4. **Editor Refinement**: Editor reviews, edits, and finalizes using your existing tools

## **Cost-Benefit Analysis**

**Development Investment**: Low-Medium (builds on existing infrastructure)
**Editor Time Savings**: 60-70% reduction in research and initial draft time
**Content Quality**: Higher due to comprehensive research and trending relevance
**Scalability**: Handle multiple editors and topics simultaneously

## **Implementation Priority**

**Week 1-2: Trending Topics**

– Integrate Perplexity for trending discovery
– Add dashboard widget to your existing admin interface
– Implement Cloudflare caching for performance

**Week 3-4: Draft Generation**

– Add Claude MCP integration to your existing draft form
– Enhance the “AI Generation” step in your 5-step process
– Connect to your existing `cdm_ai_article` field

**Week 5-6: Optimization**

– Fine-tune prompts based on editor feedback
– Add content guidelines and style consistency
– Implement automated quality checks

This approach **enhances rather than replaces** your editors’ workflow, maintains your existing Content Draft Manager structure, and provides immediate value without over-complication. Your editors get trending topics delivered to them and can generate initial drafts 10x faster while maintaining editorial control and quality.
