Perplexity

Ground your RAG with CoinDesk data

Turn raw price updates into searchable knowledge. `get_bitcoin_price_usd` outputs are indexed directly into your vector store for future retrieval. LlamaIndex transforms live data into a queryable base. Your agent answers questions based on historical price points captured during previous sessions.

Query historical price data

Build a knowledge base that tracks `get_latest_update_time` alongside price figures. Your RAG application gains context on exactly when each price point was valid. Stop guessing about data age. By indexing the timestamps, you ensure the agent retrieves the most relevant information for any given date.

Unified market intelligence

Combine the output of `get_bitcoin_price_gbp` or `get_bitcoin_price_eur` with your existing document repository. LlamaIndex creates a single interface for all your data. Your MCP Server acts as a live feed for the index. The agent pulls fresh rates to verify findings against your static documentation.
