Build an MCP Server RAG pipeline
Stop relying on outdated static exports. This MCP Server lets your LlamaIndex application pull live insurance records by calling `list_policies` and `get_policy` directly from the source. The framework takes those JSON responses and converts them into searchable nodes. When a user asks about upcoming renewals, the query engine searches the vector store and grounds its answer in actual, current policy data.
Index client records and attachments
Your knowledge base needs complete context to be useful. The agent runs `list_clients` to map out your customer base, then calls `get_client` to pull individual details into the index. Insurance workflows rely heavily on documents. By executing `list_attachments`, the system locates files tied to specific accounts so you can ingest those PDFs and forms into your LlamaIndex vector store alongside the structured data.
Query historical activity logs
RAG applications often need to know what happened last week. The tool `list_activities` extracts the task history and communication logs for any given account. If a user asks why a premium went up, the engine can search the indexed activity logs or run `list_lines` to check specific coverage changes. You get answers based on historical API data instead of model hallucinations.
