How to Use the Amazing Marvin MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: Can LlamaIndex query my Amazing Marvin time tracking data?

The server provides starttracking and stoptracking tools. While it manages the active timer, you would need to index the resulting task statuses to query them later.

Q: How does LlamaIndex read Amazing Marvin projects?

Your agent calls the getchildren tool to fetch tasks inside specific categories. The output gets ingested into your vector store for semantic search.

Q: Can I limit which tools the agent uses?

Yes. You apply an allowedtools filter when configuring the MCP tool spec. This prevents the agent from calling destructive actions if you only want read-only access.

Index your Amazing Marvin tasks into LlamaIndex to build searchable knowledge bases from your productivity data.

Index Amazing Marvin Tasks for RAG

Pulling entire project structures happens through the `get_children` tool. Your application converts these hierarchical lists into queryable documents inside your vector store. Fetching the daily schedule via `get_today_items` provides a snapshot of current priorities. The agent indexes this output so you can ask natural language questions about your workload without hallucinated responses.

Insert New Records via LlamaIndex Agents

Firing the `add_task` tool creates new action items directly from your semantic queries. When your agent identifies a gap in your indexed project plan, it generates the missing step. You group related items by executing the `add_project` function. The function agent reads your allowed tools list and pushes structural updates back to the source API.

Modify Deadlines Using the MCP Server

Executing `mark_done` strikes the item from your active list after the agent verifies completion against your indexed documents. The system updates the live database to match your local knowledge graph. Adjusting scheduled days requires the `update_task` tool. If a RAG query reveals a schedule conflict, the agent pushes a revised date to the remote endpoint.

Setup guide

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