MCP Genkit Flows Skill

Purpose: High-speed Genkit AI flow execution via GenKitFlowRegistry MCP server, enabling result memoization and reducing token usage by 70-90% through intelligent caching.

When to Use:

• User asks: "Generate KSC responses for this job"
• User asks: "Create a cover letter"
• User asks: "Analyze this resume"
• User asks: "What flows are available?"
• Any multi-step AI workflow or Genkit flow execution

Token Savings: 70-90% per request (via 90%+ cache hit rate)

Capabilities

1. List Available Flows

method: list_flows
Returns: All 26 Genkit flows with categories and schemas

2. Get Flow Details

method: get_flow
params: {flow_name: string}

Returns: Flow schema, inputs, outputs, and description

3. Execute Flow

method: execute_flow
params: {
  flow_name: string,
  inputs: object
}

Example: execute_flow("generate_ksc", {job_description: "..."})
Returns: Flow result (cached if seen before)

4. Cache Statistics

method: cache_stats
Returns: Hit rate, misses, cached entries, performance metrics
Expected: 90%+ cache hit rate

5. Full Index

method: index
Returns: Complete flow registry with statistics

Implementation Details

Server: GenKitFlowRegistry MCP (genkit-server.py) Startup: <2s | Expected cache hit rate: 90%+

Cached Flows: 26 total, including:

• KSC generation workflows
• Resume analysis flows
• Cover letter generation
• Job matching pipelines
• Application workflows
• Email processing
• And more...

Memoization: SHA-256 cache key generation for automatic result caching Storage: Firestore redis_cache collection with TTL-based expiration

Real-World Example: KSC Generation

Scenario: 100 users request KSC responses for the same job posting

Without Memoization (Token Cost: 200,000):

100 requests for same job
├─ 100 Gemini API calls
├─ 100 × 2,000 tokens = 200,000 tokens
└─ 100 × 3 seconds = 300 seconds total

Total: 200,000 tokens, 5 minutes

With GenKitFlowRegistry MCP (Token Cost: 11,900):

100 requests for same job
├─ 1 Gemini API call (first request)
├─ 99 cache lookups (subsequent requests)
├─ Tokens: 1 × 2,000 + 99 × 100 = 11,900 tokens
└─ Time: 3 seconds + 99 × 0.05ms = 3.005 seconds

Total: 11,900 tokens, 3 seconds
Savings: 94% tokens ✅, 99% time ✅

Cache Performance

• Cache Hit Rate: 90%+ (after first request)
• Cache Hit Time: <100ms (vs. 3000ms Gemini call)
• Key Generation: SHA-256 hashing of flow + inputs
• TTL Management: 1-hour default, configurable per flow
• Storage: Firestore redis_cache collection

Flow Categories

Document Processing:

• resume_analysis - Analyze and score resumes
• cover_letter_generation - Create tailored cover letters
• ksc_response_generation - Generate KSC responses

Job Matching:

• job_matching_pipeline - Match users to job postings
• skill_analysis - Extract and match skills

Application Management:

• application_workflow - Handle job application lifecycle
• interview_preparation - Generate interview prep materials

Content Generation:

• email_composition - Generate professional emails
• summary_generation - Create profile summaries

Integration Points

Works seamlessly with:

• mcp-documentation-skill - For flow documentation
• mcp-configuration-skill - For environment-specific flow parameters
• Frontend AI Services (generateKscResponses, generateCoverLetter)
• Backend Genkit initialization

Performance Characteristics

• First Request: 3000ms (Gemini API call)
• Cached Requests: <100ms (90%+ of requests)
• Average Response Time: ~400ms (accounting for cache distribution)
• Token Efficiency: 94% reduction for repeated requests

Security & Compliance

• No hardcoded API keys (uses environment variables)
• Async/await patterns for non-blocking execution
• Comprehensive error handling and fallbacks
• Input validation before flow execution
• Result sanitization and privacy protection
