How to Use the Accela MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: Can LlamaIndex index historical Accela inspection reports?

Yes. Your agent can call listinspections via this MCP connection to fetch historical reports and index them into a vector store, allowing users to query past safety violations using natural language.

Q: How does LlamaIndex prevent hallucinating Accela permit statuses?

By forcing the agent to call getrecord before answering any user query. LlamaIndex uses the live API response as context, ensuring the output is grounded in actual municipal database records.

Q: Can I filter which tools are exposed to LlamaIndex?

Yes, you can use the allowedtools filter in LlamaIndex. This lets you restrict your agent to harmless tools like searchaddresses while blocking write operations like updaterecord.

Index live Accela permit records and parcel data directly into LlamaIndex vector stores to eliminate agent hallucinations.

Perplexity

Build a searchable knowledge base of municipal records

By deploying the `get_record` tool, your LlamaIndex application fetches live permit details directly into your document indexers. Rather than querying static files, your LlamaIndex agent pulls real-time Accela municipal data and indexes it into your vector store on the fly. This prevents your LlamaIndex RAG applications from generating outdated answers about Accela zoning or permit approvals. Once queried, LlamaIndex retrieves the exact Accela parameters returned by the tool.

Ground your RAG pipeline in live Accela MCP Server data

By calling the `get_parcels` tool, your LlamaIndex query engine fetches precise geographic data to ground its responses. Your LlamaIndex agent matches user queries against actual Accela land parcels, preventing the system from hallucinating non-existent boundary lines. This LlamaIndex integration ensures that local developers get accurate Accela zoning answers. Every response is backed by the actual Accela database, keeping your LlamaIndex applications reliable.

Index and search uploaded building blueprints

The `list_documents` tool lets your LlamaIndex pipeline discover and index attachments associated with any active permit. To ingest blueprints, your LlamaIndex agent can parse these PDF files and index their contents into a searchable Accela vector database. When an inspector asks LlamaIndex about structural specifications, the system searches the indexed Accela document text. Linking these steps bridges the gap between raw Accela file storage and conversational LlamaIndex search.

Setup guide

Set up Accela MCP in LlamaIndex

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
llama-index-tools-mcp package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install llama-index-tools-mcp llama-index-llms-openai. The MCP tools package provides BasicMCPClient and McpToolSpec.
2

Connect with BasicMCPClient
Point BasicMCPClient to your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. Supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports.
3

Convert to LlamaIndex tools
Call mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async() to convert all Accela MCP tools into native FunctionTool objects that any LlamaIndex agent can use.
4

Run with any LLM
Create a FunctionAgent with the tools and your preferred LLM. Swap OpenAI for Anthropic, Gemini, or any LlamaIndex-supported provider.

agent.py

from llama_index.tools.mcp import BasicMCPClient, McpToolSpec
from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import FunctionAgent
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

# Connect to the MCP
mcp_client = BasicMCPClient(
    "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)
mcp_tool_spec = McpToolSpec(client=mcp_client)

# Convert MCP tools to LlamaIndex tools
tools = await mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async()

# Create and run the agent
agent = FunctionAgent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=OpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
    system_prompt="You have access to Accela tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent Accela data")
