| --- | |
| ## Integration Roadmap: Phase Implementation | |
| ### 🔴 PHASE 1: IMMEDIATE SECURITY FIX (1-2 days) - CRITICAL | |
| **Problem**: 5 widgets expose API keys to client-side code | |
| **Widgets Affected**: | |
| 1. AgentChatWidget | |
| 2. AudioTranscriberWidget | |
| 3. ImageAnalyzerWidget | |
| 4. LiveConversationWidget | |
| 5. VideoAnalyzerWidget | |
| **Solution**: Create MCP proxy routes for Gemini APIs | |
| **Implementation**: | |
| ```bash | |
| New routes in backend: | |
| POST /api/mcp/gemini/chat - Chat completions | |
| POST /api/mcp/gemini/audio - Audio transcription | |
| POST /api/mcp/gemini/vision - Image analysis | |
| POST /api/mcp/gemini/video - Video analysis | |
| WebSocket /api/mcp/gemini/live - Live multimodal streaming | |
| Changes to widgets: | |
| - Move GoogleGenAI initialization to backend | |
| - Replace direct fetch with `/api/mcp/gemini/*` calls | |
| - Remove client-side API key exposure | |
| - Use secure JWT/session-based authentication | |
| ``` | |
| **Timeline**: 1-2 days | |
| **Blocking**: Prevents moving widgets to production | |
| --- | |
| ### 🟡 PHASE 2: CONSOLIDATE NON-MCP APIs (3-5 days) - HIGH PRIORITY | |
| **Problem**: 4 widgets use direct HTTP to backend services, bypassing MCP | |
| **Widgets Affected**: | |
| 1. AiPalWidget | |
| 2. CmaDecisionWidget | |
| 3. EvolutionAgentWidget | |
| 4. SragGovernanceWidget | |
| **Solution**: Route through MCP consolidation layer | |
| **Implementation**: | |
| ``` | |
| Changes to backend: | |
| - Add MCP routes that wrap existing `/api/{service}/*` endpoints | |
| - Implement request/response standardization | |
| - Add logging and monitoring at MCP layer | |
| Changes to widgets: | |
| - Replace direct localhost calls with `/api/mcp/{service}/*` | |
| - Update error handling for standardized MCP response format | |
| ``` | |
| **Timeline**: 3-5 days | |
| **Dependencies**: Requires Phase 1 patterns to be established | |
| --- | |
| ### 🟡 PHASE 3: REPLACE MOCK DATA WITH MCP (5-7 days) - MEDIUM PRIORITY | |
| **Problem**: 6 widgets use hardcoded mock data instead of real backends | |
| **Widgets Affected**: | |
| 1. IntelligentNotesWidget → `/api/mcp/notes/query` | |
| 2. MCPEmailRAGWidget → `/api/mcp/email/{inbox,suggestions}` | |
| 3. CybersecurityOverwatchWidget → `/api/mcp/security/threats` | |
| 4. AgentBuilderWidget → `/api/mcp/agents/{tools,registry}` | |
| 5. PromptLibraryWidget → `/api/mcp/prompts/{library,search}` | |
| 6. ProcurementIntelligenceWidget → `/api/mcp/procurement/opportunities` | |
| **Solution**: Implement real backends and wire through MCP | |
| **Implementation**: | |
| ``` | |
| For each mock widget: | |
| 1. Design MCP endpoint contract (request/response schema) | |
| 2. Implement backend endpoint | |
| 3. Update widget to call MCP endpoint | |
| 4. Remove mock data constants | |
| 5. Test end-to-end | |
| ``` | |
| **Effort Breakdown**: | |
| - IntelligentNotesWidget: 2-3 days | |
| - MCPEmailRAGWidget: 3-4 days (needs real RAG) | |
| - CybersecurityOverwatchWidget: 4-5 days (threat integration) | |
| - AgentBuilderWidget: 2-3 days | |
| - PromptLibraryWidget: 1-2 days | |
| - ProcurementIntelligenceWidget: 3-4 days | |
| **Timeline**: 5-7 days | |
| **Dependencies**: Can run in parallel with Phase 2 | |
| --- | |
| ### 🟢 PHASE 4: POLISH CONFIGURATION UIs (3-4 days) - LOW PRIORITY | |
| **Widgets**: | |
| 1. MCPConnectorWidget - Replace mock testing with real connection validation | |
| 2. Verify WidgetImporterWidget MCP integration pattern | |
| 3. Audit StatusWidget and SystemSettingsWidget | |
| **Timeline**: 3-4 days | |
| **Dependencies**: Can run after other phases complete | |
| --- | |
| ## Overall Integration Timeline | |
| | Phase | Focus | Days | Widgets | Risk | Critical Path | | |
| |-------|-------|------|---------|------|---| | |
| | 1 | Security (Gemini APIs) | 1-2 | 5 | 🔴 HIGH | 🚨 BLOCKING | | |
| | 2 | API Consolidation | 3-5 | 4 | 🟡 MEDIUM | After Phase 1 | | |
| | 3 | Mock → Real Data | 5-7 | 6 | 🟡 MEDIUM | Parallel with Phase 2 | | |
| | 4 | Polish/Finalize | 3-4 | 4 | 🟢 LOW | After 1-3 | | |
| | **TOTAL** | **100% MCP** | **12-18** | **24** | **Mixed** | **2-3 weeks** | | |
| --- | |
| ## Critical Success Factors | |
| ### Must-Have (Phase 1) | |
| - ✅ API keys secured behind MCP proxy | |
| - ✅ No client-side exposure of credentials | |
| - ✅ WebSocket MCP route for LiveConversationWidget | |
| ### Should-Have (Phases 2-3) | |
| - ✅ All widgets routed through MCP layer | |
| - ✅ Unified error handling and logging | |
| - ✅ Real data replaces all mock data | |
| ### Nice-to-Have (Phase 4) | |
| - ✅ Performance monitoring at MCP layer | |
| - ✅ Standardized request/response formats | |
| - ✅ API versioning strategy | |
| --- | |
| ## Risk Assessment | |
| ### 🔴 CRITICAL RISKS | |
| **1. API Key Exposure (Phase 1)** | |
| - **Impact**: Security vulnerability, data exposure | |
| - **Likelihood**: Already present | |
| - **Mitigation**: Implement MCP proxy immediately | |
| - **Timeline**: 1-2 days | |
| **2. Breaking Changes (Phases 2-3)** | |
| - **Impact**: Widgets stop working during transition | |
| - **Likelihood**: Medium (if not careful with rollout) | |
| - **Mitigation**: Blue-green deployment, feature flags per widget | |
| - **Timeline**: Include in each phase | |
| ### 🟡 HIGH RISKS | |
| **3. RAG Integration Complexity (Phase 3)** | |
| - **Impact**: MCPEmailRAGWidget needs sophisticated backend | |
| - **Likelihood**: High (RAG is complex) | |
| - **Mitigation**: Start with simple retrieval, enhance iteratively | |
| - **Timeline**: 4-5 days for MVP | |
| **4. WebSocket Handling (Phase 1)** | |
| - **Impact**: LiveConversationWidget uses real-time audio | |
| - **Likelihood**: Medium (WebSocket debugging) | |
| - **Mitigation**: Test thoroughly, monitor latency | |
| - **Timeline**: Include in Phase 1 | |
| --- | |
| ## Success Metrics | |
| After all phases complete, measure: | |
| | Metric | Current | Target | | |
| |--------|---------|--------| | |
| | Widgets using MCP | 1 (4%) | 24 (100%) | | |
| | Mock data widgets | 6 (25%) | 0 (0%) | | |
| | API keys in browser | 5 expose | 0 expose | | |
| | Non-MCP HTTP calls | 4 bypass | 0 bypass | | |
| | Direct external APIs | 5 services | 0 services | | |
| | **MCP Adoption** | **4%** | **100%** | | |
| --- | |
| ## Recommendations | |
| ### Immediate (This Week) | |
| 1. ✅ Complete Phase 1 security fix (secure Gemini API keys) | |
| 2. ✅ Create MCP proxy routes for all external APIs | |
| 3. ✅ Test LiveConversationWidget WebSocket reliability | |
| ### Short-term (Next Week) | |
| 4. ⏳ Phase 2: Consolidate non-MCP HTTP calls through MCP layer | |
| 5. ⏳ Phase 3: Begin real data backend implementation | |
| 6. ⏳ Start with highest-value widgets (MCPEmailRAGWidget, CybersecurityOverwatchWidget) | |
| ### Medium-term (Dec 1-15) | |
| 7. ⏳ Complete Phase 3: All mock data replaced | |
| 8. ⏳ Phase 4: Polish configuration UIs | |
| 9. ⏳ End-to-end testing with real data | |
| ### Quality Gates | |
| - ✅ All widgets must pass security audit (no API keys in browser) | |
| - ✅ All widgets must route through MCP for data access | |
| - ✅ 95%+ test coverage for MCP integration points | |
| - ✅ Performance: <100ms latency added by MCP layer | |
| --- | |
| ## MCP as "Foundation" - Reality Check | |
| ### Current State | |
| - ✅ MCP infrastructure exists (backend, routing, tools registered) | |
| - ✅ 1 widget demonstrates proper MCP usage (McpRouterWidget) | |
| - ❌ MCP "foundation" is infrastructure-only, not integrated into widgets | |
| ### The Gap | |
| - **Claim**: "MCP is the foundation for our solution" | |
| - **Reality**: Only ~4% of widgets actually use it | |
| - **Root Cause**: Widgets built before or without MCP wiring complete | |
| ### Path Forward | |
| Completing this 3-phase roadmap (12-18 days) will transform MCP from "infrastructure only" to "actual foundation": | |
| - ✅ 100% of widgets routed through MCP | |
| - ✅ Centralized security (API key management) | |
| - ✅ Unified service layer (all backends via MCP) | |
| - ✅ European sovereignty (MCP routes can enforce EU-only data processing) | |
