How to Use the AirVisual MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: How do I register the AirVisual MCP tools in LlamaIndex?

Install llama-index-tools-mcp first. Set up a BasicMCPClient pointing to your Vinkius URL, then wrap it with McpToolSpec to extract the tool list.

Q: Can LlamaIndex store AirVisual MCP Server data in a vector database?

Yes. The output from tools like getcitydata can be indexed directly into your existing vector stores for future semantic search.

Q: How does LlamaIndex handle AirVisual location tools?

You pass the tool list to a FunctionAgent. The agent executes operations like getnearestcitybycoords and incorporates the returned JSON into its response generation.

Q: Can I filter which AirVisual tools my LlamaIndex agent uses?

The allowedtools filter lets you restrict access. You might expose only getstationdata while hiding the broader listing functions.

Index LlamaIndex MCP Server Output

AirVisual supplies live meteorological and pollution data that your LlamaIndex pipelines convert into searchable vectors. You run `get_city_data` and instantly store that current snapshot alongside historical text documents. RAG applications now have access to real-time environmental context. When a user asks about recent smog levels, the engine queries the exact output from `get_station_data` instead of guessing.

Ground Answers in Live AQI

Your system stops hallucinating weather conditions by referencing actual API returns. Pulling records via `list_cities` creates a factual baseline for any regional climate query. Users get answers built on hard numbers. If someone asks about local conditions, the agent hits `get_nearest_city_by_ip`, reads the PM2.5 levels, and synthesizes a response backed by verifiable readings.

Build Spatial Knowledge Graphs

Hierarchical location data becomes part of your semantic index. Running `list_countries` followed by `list_states` builds a structured geographic map inside your vector store. The query engine navigates this structure to find relevant local stations. It maps user coordinates to knowledge nodes using `get_nearest_city_by_coords` before retrieving the final pollution metrics.

Setup guide

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