How to Use the BrioHR MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: Can I use BrioHR with LlamaIndex query engines?

Yes, the agent calls getemployeedetails dynamically during query execution to answer specific staff questions. This keeps your RAG pipeline grounded in live API data.

Q: Does LlamaIndex support filtering BrioHR tools?

You can use the allowedtools filter to restrict the agent to specific operations like getwhoisaway. This prevents the agent from accessing sensitive tools when it only needs leave data.

Q: How does this MCP Server prevent hallucinated HR answers?

By forcing LlamaIndex to pull data directly from getpayrollsummary, the agent relies on real numbers rather than generative guesswork. Your financial reports remain accurate and verified.

Index live HR data into LlamaIndex using the BrioHR MCP Server for grounded, hallucination-free retrieval.

Build a RAG index with BrioHR data

The `list_employees` tool pulls your entire staff directory into LlamaIndex to build a searchable vector store. Your agent queries this index to find specific skills or department structures without hitting the API repeatedly. This approach grounds your agent's answers in actual corporate data rather than letting it guess. You get accurate, up-to-date responses about who works where and what they do.

Query active job postings and candidate pipelines

The `list_job_postings` tool retrieves your current open roles so LlamaIndex can match them against incoming resumes. The agent uses `list_job_candidates` to track where applicants are in your hiring funnel. You can combine this live API data with local PDF resumes in a unified query engine. This lets you ask complex questions about candidate fit based on real-time hiring needs.

Track leave and appraisals using this MCP Server

The `list_leave_requests` tool extracts historical time-off data to help LlamaIndex analyze team availability patterns. It pairs this with `list_performance_appraisals` to give managers context before review cycles. Instead of digging through multiple HR dashboards, you query the unified index to see who is due for an appraisal. The engine synthesizes the raw API outputs into clean, factual summaries.

Setup guide

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