Index credential history in LlamaIndex

Use `list_credentials` to pull existing records and feed them into your vector store. Your index now understands the relationship between recipients and their specific awards. Searching for past achievements becomes a matter of querying your index rather than scanning raw API outputs. The data becomes part of your agent's long-term memory.

Ground your agent with Certifier data

The agent retrieves `get_credential` details to answer questions about specific user awards. It uses the index to find the right credential ID based on a natural language prompt. Your RAG pipeline pulls the exact status of a badge from the API. This prevents hallucinations about whether a certificate was actually issued.

Automate credential template lookups

Use `list_design_templates` to populate your knowledge base with current branding options. The agent knows exactly which template to use for a new award. Updating your knowledge base is simple when you call `get_credential_template` to refresh specific design details. Your agent stays synchronized with the live API.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Certifier MCP in LlamaIndex

Use the BasicMCPClient to connect to the server and convert the tools into a spec. These tools then integrate into your FunctionAgent for execution.

It allows your agent to query and index issued badges as knowledge. This makes tracking achievements part of your searchable information pool.

The server exposes tools that map directly to the McpToolSpec. You can filter these tools to restrict what the agent accesses.

Once you index the tool results, you can perform semantic searches across your credential records. The agent performs the lookup based on your query.

Only the necessary recipient identifiers and badge metadata reach the index. We strip all unnecessary headers and ensure that only your agent has access to the credential records.
