Perplexity

Build LlamaIndex financial knowledge graphs

The `get_overview` tool pulls raw company data that `McpToolSpec` turns into searchable LlamaIndex document nodes. Your LlamaIndex `FunctionAgent` queries this structured financial profile to ground its answers in verified balance sheet metrics. By indexing historical data from `get_income_statement` using `BasicMCPClient`, your LlamaIndex RAG pipelines avoid generating hallucinated revenue figures. The LlamaIndex agent searches past tool outputs to answer complex investor questions.

Query live macroeconomic indicators

The `get_economic_indicator` tool supplies real-time GDP and inflation data directly to your LlamaIndex query engines. You get accurate macroeconomic context mixed with your local LlamaIndex documents. This MCP Server feeds raw economic metrics into your LlamaIndex vector index. Your LlamaIndex RAG system can compare current CPI trends against historical portfolio performance reports.

Index technical indicators for semantic search

The `get_sma` tool outputs simple moving averages that your LlamaIndex pipelines convert into vector embeddings. You can search for technical patterns across hundreds of different stock tickers using LlamaIndex semantic queries. Combining `time_series_daily_adjusted` with your LlamaIndex index lets you build a hybrid search engine. Users can ask natural language questions about LlamaIndex price trends and receive exact, vector-backed responses.
