How to Use the cloudlayer.io MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: Can LlamaIndex filter which cloudlayer.io tools are used?

You can apply an allowedtools filter during setup. This limits the agent to only the specific document or image tools you want it to use.

Turn LlamaIndex into a document engine by indexing cloudlayer.io outputs into your private knowledge base.

Perplexity

Index PDFs in LlamaIndex

Generate documents with `convert_html_to_pdf` and pipe the results straight into your vector store. LlamaIndex then treats these generated files as searchable knowledge. You avoid hallucinations by grounding your agent's answers in the actual documents you create. It turns your API interactions into a persistent, queryable history.

Capture web data for LlamaIndex

Use `capture_url_screenshot` to grab visual evidence of a site and store it for future retrieval. This provides your agent with visual context that text-only models often miss. These screenshots become part of your index, allowing for multimodal queries. You can ask your agent about specific site layouts or visual patterns it has previously captured.

Audit generation history in LlamaIndex

Query your past operations with `list_generation_history` to understand what your agent has produced. This tool provides a log that you can ingest into your index. Keep track of your document output without manually logging every request. It gives your agent a memory of its past work, making it easier to reference previous versions of reports.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about cloudlayer.io MCP in LlamaIndex

You use the MCP tool spec to pull the server's capabilities into your agent. Once active, the output of any generation tool is ready to be indexed into your vector store.

By calling the history tools, you can pull your previous generation logs into your LlamaIndex knowledge base. This allows the agent to search through past documents and screenshots.

We isolate your data in a secure sandbox. Your HTML, URLs, and generated PDFs are wiped after the request, ensuring that only your local index stores the content.

You can apply an allowed_tools filter during setup. This limits the agent to only the specific document or image tools you want it to use.

The MCP tools are fully async-compatible. You can await them in your agent loop to keep your RAG pipeline running without blocking execution.
