How to Use the BigMailer MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: How do I connect the BigMailer MCP Server to LlamaIndex?

Install llama-index-tools-mcp and instantiate BasicMCPClient with your Vinkius URL. Convert the server tools to LlamaIndex format using the MCP tool specification and pass them to your FunctionAgent.

Q: Can LlamaIndex search through my BigMailer templates?

Yes, the agent calls listtemplates to retrieve your layouts and indexes them as document nodes. You can then run vector searches over these nodes to find templates matching specific marketing goals.

Q: Does LlamaIndex support adding contacts to BigMailer lists?

Yes, the agent uses the addcontact tool to insert or update subscribers. It matches user query intent to the correct list ID retrieved from listcontactlists before executing the write operation.

Q: How do I limit which BigMailer MCP tools LlamaIndex can access?

You can use the allowedtools filter when configuring your McpToolSpec. This lets you restrict the agent to read-only tools like listbrands while blocking write tools like addcontact.

Q: Is my BigMailer campaign data safe during LlamaIndex indexing?

Yes, campaign details retrieved via getbulkcampaign are processed in memory and sent directly to your vector database. We never log or store campaign text, list names, or contact emails on our infrastructure.

Index BigMailer campaigns and contact structures directly into your LlamaIndex vector store for grounded RAG queries.

Index BigMailer MCP Server tools into LlamaIndex

The `list_templates` tool retrieves your current email layouts so LlamaIndex can index them for semantic search. Your LlamaIndex RAG pipeline queries this index to find which BigMailer templates match a specific product announcement style. Instead of guessing, your LlamaIndex agent uses `get_bulk_campaign` to pull past BigMailer campaign content and index the results. This grounds your LlamaIndex generation step in historical BigMailer campaign copy, preventing the model from hallucinating layout structures.

Query contact lists with semantic search

The `list_contact_lists` tool fetches your subscriber groups to build a queryable schema map inside LlamaIndex. LlamaIndex uses this map to find the correct BigMailer list ID when a user asks to target a specific audience. Once you query your LlamaIndex database using natural language, the agent resolves the BigMailer list names using `get_contact_list`. Updating the matching audience using `add_contact` happens automatically based on the semantic match.

Map brand properties to your knowledge graph

The `get_brand_properties` tool exposes custom fields that define your subscriber segments inside LlamaIndex. LlamaIndex reads these brand properties to construct a precise data schema for your BigMailer retrieval-augmented generation pipelines. To fetch all managed brands, the LlamaIndex agent calls `list_brands` and builds a node graph mapping each brand to its custom properties. This node structure ensures your LlamaIndex agent always writes valid custom field data when executing `add_contact`.

Setup guide

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