Index CFPB Complaints for LlamaIndex RAG

Turn raw complaint data into a searchable knowledge base. By passing the output of `search_complaints` to your vector store, you ground your agent's answers in verified government records. Your LlamaIndex application performs semantic searches across millions of entries. This eliminates hallucinations by forcing the model to cite actual complaint narratives.

Query historical financial data via LlamaIndex

Use `get_complaints_by_product` to populate your index with specific financial sector history. Your RAG pipeline keeps these documents fresh and queryable at all times. Connect the tool output directly to your indexing logic. This setup ensures that when you ask about mortgage trends, the model relies on the most recent data ingested from the server.

Unified data access for LlamaIndex

This MCP Server acts as a live data source for your document agents. You can call `get_complaint` by ID to pull deep-dive information into your current context window. Configure your allowed_tools to restrict which parts of the database your agent accesses. This creates a secure, curated knowledge environment tailored to your specific analysis needs.
