Connect AntEater MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect AntEater to LlamaIndex and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
LlamaIndex MCP Server data ingestion
Run `list_recent_activity` and convert the results into a vector index. Your agent no longer guesses; it queries the actual data. This turns transient API responses into long-term knowledge. Your system stays grounded in facts rather than hallucinations.
Search AntEater contacts with LlamaIndex
Use `search_contacts` to populate your RAG pipeline with fresh company information. The agent retrieves relevant details whenever a user asks a question. It bridges the gap between your live CRM data and your static documents. You get a unified view of your entire organization.
Filter LlamaIndex tool access
Restrict which AntEater functions the agent can touch using the allowed_tools filter. You maintain control over what the model modifies versus what it only reads. This prevents accidental writes while keeping the query interface open. It is the safest way to expose sensitive team data.
