Build RAG apps with LlamaIndex

Pipe the results of `get_processed_mentions` into your vector index. LlamaIndex then treats these social insights as long-term memory for your agent. You can query historical data long after the search job finishes. It turns raw mention logs into a structured, searchable asset.

Search influencers with LlamaIndex

Run `get_influencers` to find key voices, then index their profile details. Your agent can then recall these experts when answering questions about your industry. It avoids hallucinating names by grounding responses in the actual API data. You get specific answers based on current influencer lists.

Manage search jobs via indexing

Use `post_search` to kick off new data gathering, then let LlamaIndex ingest the results. It keeps your knowledge base current without manual updates. This MCP server provides the live updates your index needs. Your agent always works with the latest information rather than stale cached files.
