How to Use the AI21 Labs MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: Can LlamaIndex index the summaries generated by AI21 Labs?

Yes, you can pipe the output of ai21summarizetext directly into a LlamaIndex Document object. This lets you index high-quality summaries instead of raw, noisy text.

Q: How do LlamaIndex agents manage files using AI21 Labs?

Your agent uses ai21getfile to fetch file metadata and determine if it needs indexing. You can automate document pruning by triggering ai21deletefile when an index is rebuilt.

Q: Can I use this server to clean up user queries before search?

Yes, you can route raw user queries through ai21textimprovements before generating embeddings. This ensures your LlamaIndex vector search matches clean, professional phrasing.

Perplexity

Build semantic indices using this MCP Server

LlamaIndex takes the structured content from `ai21_segment_text` and indexes each topic block as a distinct node. This prevents your vector search from retrieving irrelevant paragraphs during high-density document queries. By running `ai21_summarize_text` before indexing, your pipeline stores clean summaries alongside the raw chunks. This dual-indexing strategy helps your LlamaIndex queries find the right context faster.

Ground LlamaIndex RAG queries in verified files

Your index agents can query specific document contexts by executing `ai21_contextual_answers` against your uploaded files. The tool checks the source text directly, cutting down on hallucinated answers. To keep your index fresh, the agent uses `ai21_list_files` to check for updated documents. If a file is outdated, the pipeline triggers `ai21_delete_file` to remove it from the knowledge base.

Clean query inputs before indexing

Clean up messy user queries immediately by passing search terms to `ai21_grammar_correction` before LlamaIndex runs an index search. Spelling mistakes and awkward phrasing can ruin vector similarity matches if left uncorrected. If the query is too wordy, the agent runs `ai21_paraphrase_text` to generate a concise search vector. This preprocessing step ensures your similarity search matches the actual intent of the user.

Setup guide

Set up AI21 Labs 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 AI21 Labs 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 AI21 Labs tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent AI21 Labs data")
