Index flight data in LlamaIndex

Turn tool output into a searchable knowledge base using `list_flights`. LlamaIndex captures the returned data and indexes it, allowing you to query historical flight records later. Ground your agent's responses in real data. Instead of guessing, your agent searches the indexed results to provide accurate answers about past or future routes.

Map global air travel

Populate your vector store with airport and airline information using `list_airports` and `list_airlines`. This creates a unified reference point for your agent to consult. Your RAG application benefits from structured aviation data. Querying the index yields specific results because the server provides high-fidelity data points for every request.

Fetch live schedules for indexing

Use `list_future_flights` to keep your knowledge base current with upcoming schedules. By indexing these, your agent identifies trends or upcoming travel gaps. Control what data enters your index using the allowed_tools filter. You decide which specific aviation datasets your LlamaIndex agent can access and store.

Setup guide

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