How to Use the APImage MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: How do I index APImage generation history into LlamaIndex?

Use listgenerations to pull past metadata, then convert those records into LlamaIndex Document nodes to embed them in your vector store.

Q: Can LlamaIndex agents dynamically select models from APImage?

Yes. The agent calls listmodels to see what is available, then passes the selected model parameter to the generateimage tool.

Index editorial images and generation metadata directly into LlamaIndex vector stores using this MCP Server.

Ground Your RAG Pipelines with Real Editorial Images

Feed live photo metadata into your LlamaIndex vector stores using this MCP Server. By using `list_generations` and `get_generation`, your agent indexes the actual descriptions and prompt history of your media library, preventing hallucinations when querying your visual assets. This setup ensures your index stays fresh. Every time you run `generate_image`, the resulting metadata can be immediately parsed and embedded, making new creative assets searchable in your RAG setup.

Semantic Image Editing in LlamaIndex

Query your knowledge base to find an asset, then modify it using `image_to_image` or `inpaint_image` based on user queries. The agent retrieves the original image context from your index and applies the edits without manual intervention. You can also use `enhance_prompt` to optimize the search query before hitting the vector store. This ensures the prompt matches the semantic style of your existing indexed editorial photography.

Clean and Upscale Assets Before Indexing

Keep your visual index clean by stripping backgrounds on import with this MCP Server. The agent calls `remove_background` to isolate subjects, then runs `upscale_image` to make sure only high-resolution assets get indexed. Before executing these heavy indexing pipelines, the agent runs `check_apimage_status` to ensure the archive API is online. This keeps your automated ingestion scripts from crashing on network hiccups.

Setup guide

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