Building Voice-Enabled MCP Client–Server Orchestration with Spring Boot & Google ADK
Building upon the MCP Client-Server Architectural Foundation, this guide explores the implementation of Real-Time Chat & Voice Orchestration. We transition from a CLI-based interaction model to a fully multimodal experience, leveraging the Gemini Multimodal Live API. By integrating Spring Boot and the Google AI SDK, we establish a low-latency, two-way communication loop that enables AI agents to process voice commands and respond with natural, conversational speech.
Expanded Architectural Ecosystem
To support real-time audio streaming and interactive visualization, we introduce two critical components to the existing MCP ecosystem:
- mcp_orchestrator_springboot_client
- react_web
Spring Boot Orchestrator (Backend)
The mcp_orchestrator_springboot_client serves as the central nervous system of the application. Beyond managing standard MCP tool connections, it facilitates the complex interaction between the user and the Google AI SDK.
- Stream Management It handles high-frequency WebSocket frames, routing live audio data from the browser to the LLM.
- Multimodal Processing It orchestrates voice-to-text transcription and text-to-voice synthesization in a unified reasoning loop.
- State Synchronization Maintains the
ModelContextacross asynchronous events, ensuring the agent remains aware of available MCP tools during live conversation.
Interactive React Dashboard (Frontend)
The react_web module provides the visual interface required for professional multimodal engagement. It is optimized for low-latency audio capture and real-time status updates.
- Audio Buffer Management Utilizes browser APIs to capture and stream high-quality audio data to the backend via persistent WebSockets.
- Live Transcription Displays real-time text feedback as the agent processes incoming voice data, enhancing user trust and clarity.
- Conversation History Provides a visual timeline of the interaction, including tool invocations (e.g., email sent, billing authorized) triggered by the agent via MCP.
Architectural Note This setup leverages Server-Sent Events (SSE) for MCP server communication while utilizing WebSockets for the voice-streaming loop. This hybrid approach ensures that tool discovery remains lightweight and standardized, while the user interaction remains responsive and interactive.
