Ground LlamaIndex answers in community data

Turn your API results into searchable vectors. Call `list_activity_types` and index the output so your agent understands the context of member engagement. When you query your knowledge base, the agent pulls from these indexed activities. It provides answers based on the actual history of your community members.

Query organization details with LlamaIndex

Use `get_organization_details` to feed structured data into your RAG pipeline. This gives your agent the specific firmographic details it needs to answer complex questions. Your index stays fresh because the agent calls the server live. It avoids stale information by pulling the latest records during the retrieval phase.

Filter tools for targeted indexing

Use the allowed_tools filter to limit what the agent can access. You might only want to index `search_organizations` to keep your knowledge base focused. This prevents the agent from bloating your vector store with irrelevant data. You keep the index clean and the retrieval precise.

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")

Common questions about Common Room MCP in LlamaIndex

You use the MCP tool spec to convert API outputs into a format your indexer understands. The agent then treats these records as primary sources for its responses.

Yes, by grounding the agent in live API results, it stops guessing. It relies on the data returned by the server to construct accurate replies.

Once the tool outputs are indexed, they become part of your semantic search space. You can query your past sessions or member configurations directly.

Vinkius manages all auth through a single endpoint token. You don't need to configure environment variables for the Common Room API itself.

All data transfers occur over encrypted channels. We isolate your requests within a V8 sandbox to ensure no cross-tenant exposure.
