Perplexity

Searchable network state in LlamaIndex

Pass `get_endpoint` results into your LlamaIndex knowledge base to index specific container networking details. You turn transient endpoint data into a queryable history. Your RAG application retrieves past endpoint states to answer questions about historical network connectivity. You rely on actual data instead of guessing what happened.

Query Cilium (eBPF Networking) config with LlamaIndex

Use `get_config` to populate your vector store with current daemon parameters. You search across your network settings using natural language. This allows you to ask about your current network policy and get grounded answers. You avoid hallucination by anchoring your index to live API output.

Index Cilium (eBPF Networking) nodes for LlamaIndex

Trigger `get_cluster_nodes` to keep your index updated with the latest cluster topology. Your AI client maintains a current map of all active nodes. You query the index to find which node hosts a specific workload. It saves you from digging through raw daemon logs manually.

Setup guide

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