Index BoardEffect for LlamaIndex

Convert board records into searchable vectors by connecting your server to a vector store. Tools like `list_archives` pull historical data into your index for semantic search. Your agent now answers questions based on the actual history of your board. It no longer relies on guesses, but on the specific text retrieved from your workrooms.

Query workroom contents in LlamaIndex

Run semantic queries against documents found via `list_documents`. LlamaIndex chunks these files and stores them so your agent can find relevant information in seconds. This MCP Server provides the raw content that powers your RAG application. You get precise answers to board-related inquiries without searching through dozens of separate files.

Automate board surveys in LlamaIndex

Use `list_surveys` and `list_polls` to pull current board sentiment into your knowledge base. Your agent correlates these results with past meeting outcomes. Linking these tools to an index means your agent maintains a live view of board opinion. It spots trends in polling data that you might miss otherwise.

Setup guide

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