How to Use the Captain Data MCP in LlamaIndex
Index live lead data into LlamaIndex so your RAG applications have fresh context from Captain Data.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Captain Data MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Captain Data 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 Captain Data into LlamaIndex
Run `enrich_person` and feed the results into your vector store. Your knowledge base updates with actual contact profiles as they arrive. This makes your RAG app smarter because it queries real API data instead of static text files.
Ground your answers with MCP Server data
Connect the server to your index to prevent hallucinations. Your agent pulls from live Captain Data results to answer specific user queries. It ensures your bot only talks about leads that exist in the system right now.
Search past automation jobs
Use `list_automation_jobs` to index your history. You can then query your agent about previous research tasks. This allows you to find information from old jobs without digging through the Captain Data dashboard.
