 MCP Servers MCP (Model Context Protocol) was released by Anthropic as an open standard in November 2024.  Examples released:   Google Maps: Local search, details of places, etc.   Slack: Send and receive messages.   Memory: Remember things across sessions.   Time: Time and time zone conversions.   Puppeteer: Interact with a headless browser and send back HTML and images.   EverArt: An image generator. Note that MCP is not limited to text at all. Beginning of an open AI ecosystem Benefits:   0) The input and output are text.   1) Open standards extensibility so Claude, Cline, Gemini, etc. can use what I have built.   2) The power of integration and chaining:     With MCP, the host gets results from one MCP server, and feeds to another  MCP server; it can get results from multiple MCP servers and combine them.    Example: a) Listen on Slack for when someone says “Find us a place to go to dinner” b) Get result...

AUTOMATIONS   Key Concepts in Automations : 1) Trigger : The event that starts an automation (e.g., time of day, a sensor activation, or a new email).  2) Action : The task that the automation does (e.g., turning on the lights, sending an email, or updating a database).  3) Condition : A rule that determines whether an action should be performed (e.g., only send an email if the recipient is in a specific group). 4) Workflow : A sequence of interconnected actions or steps that are automated (e.g., a series of email sequences for marketing campaigns).

Vapi Workarounds Perhaps just as interesting is workarounds: a) You can use the Postman tool and b) copy the Vapi doc for the functionality in question c) change Postman's URL line to the URL for the create tool or other functionality, d) set the Postman authorization to your secret API key, and e) finally run the command to create the tool.  Credit Quicy at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04zG-A38ja4&ab_channel=QuincyMcCants%7CVoiceAIAutomation . This allows for handling issues with Vapi's UI.   

Vapi Bugs The "joys" of working with something new like Vapi is bugs.  You hope they fix them, but you know they will do the bug fixing on their own schedule.   As of Feb 21, 2025, Vapi's built-in phone numbers (that are free) do not handle call transfers or call forwarding well , so use Twilio phone numbers (Caller ID verified only if on free plan) so things will work.  The call transfers or call forwarding result in the weird "Exiting meeting because room was deleted" error when the call ends.  Credit goes to Quincy at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04zG-A38ja4&ab_channel=QuincyMcCants%7CVoiceAIAutomation  at 7:14 mark. This is a UI bug. Just changing the "Assistant" on a "Phone Number" fails to apply the change if one does not click into another field on that same Phone Number screen.
