MCP Server Integration & Context Management
Connect your voice AI to the existing MCP server to access professional profile data and enable context-aware conversations
📚 Understanding This Step
Your voice AI needs access to your professional information from the MCP server built in the simple workshop. This step creates the integration that allows your AI to respond with specific details about your experience, skills, and career goals during voice conversations. The VERCEL_MCP_SERVER_URL environment variable connects to your deployed MCP server, while optional MCP_API_KEY provides secure authentication.
Tasks to Complete

Integrate voice AI with existing MCP server for context-aware professional conversations:
## Integration Architecture:
1. **Context Retrieval System**
- Connect OpenAI Realtime API responses to MCP server data
- Implement semantic search for relevant professional information
- Design conversation memory management for multi-turn dialogs
- Create context scoring and relevance ranking
2. **Professional Profile Access**
- Retrieve specific work experience details during conversations
- Access technical skills and project examples for detailed responses
- Integrate salary expectations and career preferences
- Connect achievement metrics and performance data
3. **Real-time Data Integration**
- Low-latency API calls that don't interrupt conversation flow
- Intelligent caching of frequently accessed profile data
- Context prediction for proactive information loading
- Error handling and graceful degradation when MCP server unavailable
4. **Conversation Intelligence**
- Topic detection to trigger relevant context retrieval
- Multi-turn conversation memory and state management
- Context switching between different professional domains
- Personalized response generation based on conversation history
Provide production-ready implementation with error handling, caching, and optimization for voice interaction latency requirements.
