How to Use the AirLabs MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: How do I load AirLabs MCP Server data into LlamaIndex?

Use the llama-index-tools-mcp package to initialize the client. This exposes tools like getairportdelays directly to your LlamaIndex FunctionAgent.

Q: Can LlamaIndex index live flights from AirLabs?

Yes, you can fetch real-time data using getflights and write the JSON payloads straight into a vector index. This lets your agent perform semantic searches over active airspace data.

Q: How do I handle nearby airport queries?

The getnearbyairports tool returns regional and international airports near specified coordinates. LlamaIndex indexes these geographic results to answer local logistics questions.

Index real-time aviation data into LlamaIndex vector stores to ground your queries in live flight metrics.

Perplexity

Vectorized flight database context

`get_flights_by_airport` retrieves lists of all arriving and departing flights for any specific hub. LlamaIndex indexes this live data stream directly into your vector store, turning transient flight boards into searchable context. Your agent queries this local index instead of hitting the live API repeatedly. This approach keeps your token usage down while ensuring answers about airport traffic remain grounded in fresh data.

Semantic search on airline routes

`get_airline_routes` returns operational routes, flight frequencies, and deployed aircraft types for any carrier. LlamaIndex parses these route maps into structured documents ready for semantic search. Users can ask complex natural language questions about carrier networks without writing SQL queries. The agent matches the query intent against the indexed route documents to find the correct connections.

LlamaIndex MCP Server fleet indexing

`get_airline_fleet` extracts the complete aircraft inventory, age, and operational status for any airline. Using this MCP Server tool, LlamaIndex populates its document store with structured aircraft metadata. You can build RAG pipelines that evaluate fleet age trends or carrier operational profiles. The Vinkius integration manages your connection securely, delivering clean JSON payloads directly to your indexing pipeline.

Setup guide

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