How to Use the Arcsecond.io MCP in LlamaIndex
Index your telescope data into LlamaIndex for RAG-powered queries using this Arcsecond.io MCP Server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Arcsecond.io MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Arcsecond.io 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.
Ground your LlamaIndex RAG in live data
Turn your `list_night_logs` output into part of your searchable knowledge base. LlamaIndex ingests these records, letting you query your history with natural language. Stop guessing about past observations. Your index now contains factual logs pulled directly from the source during your ingestion phase.
Automate object lookups for your index
Use `get_object` to fetch granular details for your vector store. You feed specific star or galaxy data into the model to ground its responses in reality. This makes your RAG system smarter. Instead of hallucinatory generalities, your agent cites the precise astronomical metrics retrieved from the server.
Filter Arcsecond.io datasets efficiently
Apply the `list_datasets` tool to narrow down which observations you want to index. You save tokens by only bringing relevant data into your LlamaIndex pipeline. It’s a clean way to manage large observational archives. You define the scope, and the tool returns only what your index needs to function.
