Perplexity

Build an RAG index of Brazilian inflation trends

The `get_ipca15` tool retrieves the mid-month preview of Brazil's official inflation index (SGS series 7478). This provides your agent with early-warning consumer price changes before the final monthly numbers are released. LlamaIndex converts this raw economic data into document nodes. You can index these nodes directly into your vector store, allowing semantic search queries to retrieve actual inflation rates instead of relying on outdated training data.

Track wage and contract adjustments with this MCP Server

The `get_inpc` tool reads the National Consumer Price Index (SGS series 188), which tracks price changes for families earning 1 to 5 minimum wages. It serves as the primary benchmark for salary negotiations and minimum wage corrections in Brazil. By feeding this index alongside `get_igpm` into your data agent, you build a specialized financial query engine. The agent retrieves the appropriate index based on whether the user asks about salary adjustments or rental contracts.

Ground LlamaIndex queries in Focus Survey expectations

The `get_expectativas_inflacao` tool delivers the Central Bank of Brazil's market expectations, giving your agent access to mean, median, and extreme market forecasts via our live MCP endpoints. This allows your agent to answer predictive economic questions with verified data. Your RAG pipeline indexes these market projections to prevent hallucinations. When users query future economic scenarios, the agent cites the actual Focus Survey bounds instead of guessing.

Setup guide

Set up BCB Inflação — IPCA, IGP-M, INPC e Expectativas 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 BCB Inflação — IPCA, IGP-M, INPC e Expectativas 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 BCB Inflação — IPCA, IGP-M, INPC e Expectativas tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent BCB Inflação — IPCA, IGP-M, INPC e Expectativas data")

Common questions about BCB Inflação — IPCA, IGP-M, INPC e Expectativas MCP in LlamaIndex

You initialize the MCP client and convert it into a tool spec. From there, you pass the tools directly to your LlamaIndex function agent to start querying Brazilian inflation metrics.

Yes, you can fetch historical series and convert the outputs into document objects. This lets you build a searchable local index of Brazilian inflation trends for semantic queries.

Yes, the agent uses semantic matching based on the tool descriptions. For example, a query about rent will trigger `get_igpm`, while a query about official inflation targets will trigger `get_ipca`.

You can use the allowed tools filter during initialization. This lets you restrict your agent to specific tools like `get_ipca` while hiding expectations data.

We route all API calls through secure, zero-trust connections. The inflation query parameters are never written to persistent disk, maintaining strict privacy for your economic research workflows.
