Index community history for LlamaIndex

Use `ingest_activity` to feed raw community signals into your LlamaIndex vector store. This allows your RAG application to query past interactions with total accuracy. Once the data is indexed, you can ask questions about specific member behaviors. The system retrieves the exact activity timeline using `get_member` to ground its answers.

Query segments via LlamaIndex

The `list_segments` tool provides the metadata needed to filter your knowledge base. Your LlamaIndex application differentiates between user groups during the retrieval phase. By including these segments in your index, you ensure that the AI understands the context of each community member. It stops guessing and starts reporting based on actual platform data.

Maintain member records in LlamaIndex

Keep your knowledge base current by using `update_member` to sync changes. When a member profile shifts, your LlamaIndex application updates its search index accordingly. This keeps your RAG pipeline fresh. You avoid stale data by pulling the latest member details directly through the available toolset.

Setup guide

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