How to Use the Carta MCP in LlamaIndex
Index your Carta cap tables and funding history directly into LlamaIndex for grounded RAG applications.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Carta MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Carta 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.
RAG over your equity structure
LlamaIndex takes live API data and turns it into searchable knowledge. You plug the Carta MCP Server into your agent, and it pulls the full ownership breakdown using `get_cap_table`. That data gets indexed alongside your static legal documents. When you ask about liquidation preferences, the agent does not guess. It searches the index, hits the live `list_share_classes` tool for current rights, and synthesizes an answer grounded in hard facts. You get responses backed by actual Carta records.
Query historical valuations with LlamaIndex
Tracking 409A changes usually means digging through dashboards. Your LlamaIndex agent just runs `list_valuations` and embeds the historical data into your vector store. You query how your strike prices changed over the last three years in plain English. The agent cross-references those valuations against past funding events. It calls `list_funding_rounds`, indexes the dates, and builds a timeline. You ask a question, and the system retrieves the exact sequence of events that led to your current valuation.
Grounded answers for convertible notes
SAFEs and convertible notes get complicated fast. Your setup uses `list_convertibles` to pull the outstanding notes and feeds them into a FunctionAgent. The agent reads the terms and calculates potential dilution scenarios based on real data. You filter exactly what the agent can access using the allowed_tools parameter. If you only want it querying `list_option_plans` and `list_securities`, you lock it down. The agent stays focused on the specific data vectors you actually need for your RAG pipeline.
