Index Cannabis Data Using This MCP Server

`get_strain` pulls raw, structured chemical data for specific cannabis strains directly into your LlamaIndex pipeline. LlamaIndex ingests these Cannlytics API responses, turning them into indexable documents. You build a local cannabis knowledge base that updates dynamically. Your agent queries this index instead of guessing, eliminating hallucinated strain profiles.

Expose Flavor and Effect Profiles to Semantic Search

`get_flavors` and `get_effects` extract qualitative attributes for any cannabis variety. LlamaIndex processes these MCP outputs as node metadata, making them searchable via semantic queries. Users can search your index using natural language like "sweet citrus profile for anxiety". LlamaIndex matches these queries against the indexed Cannlytics outputs to find the exact strain.

Generate Context-Aware Strain Recommendations

`get_similar_strains` fetches related cannabis varieties based on chemical similarity. LlamaIndex uses these relationships to build a graph-based index of connected cannabis strains. Your LlamaIndex query engine traverses this graph to recommend alternative strains. The resulting cannabis recommendations rely on actual Cannlytics database relationships rather than simple vector proximity.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Cannlytics Strain API MCP in LlamaIndex

You use the LlamaIndex MCP tool spec to wrap the Cannlytics Strain API endpoint. This converts the server's tools into a list of function tools that your agent can call during query execution.

Yes, you can run the MCP tools and load the resulting cannabis profiles directly into a LlamaIndex vector index. This allows you to perform semantic search over the retrieved strain data.

The LlamaIndex FunctionAgent evaluates user queries to determine whether to call `search_strains` or `get_effects`. It matches the query intent to the tool schemas exposed by the Cannlytics Strain API.

No, Vinkius handles the authentication for the Cannlytics endpoint behind the scenes. Your code only needs a single Vinkius connection token to access all the strain tools.

All strain search terms and flavor queries pass through an ephemeral, zero-trust V8 sandbox. Vinkius does not store your cannabis search history or query parameters, ensuring absolute data isolation.
