Connect Bonusly MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Bonusly 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.
Index recognition data in LlamaIndex
Turn the output of `list_bonuses` into searchable knowledge. Your index stores this history so the agent can answer questions about past team achievements. This turns raw API data into a context-aware memory bank. You no longer have to guess who did what; the agent searches the index for specific recognition events.
Ground agent answers with Bonusly
Connect `get_leaderboard` to your RAG pipeline. When a user asks about top performers, the agent retrieves the current list instead of hallucinating. This ensures your answers are based on live stats. The agent retrieves the latest data from the server, keeping your knowledge base current.
Query employee records via LlamaIndex
Use `get_user` to pull profile details into your index. This allows the agent to reference specific employee contributions when drafting internal reports. It makes your document generation much more precise. You combine live Bonusly profiles with your existing knowledge base to build comprehensive team summaries.
