How to Use the ComplyAdvantage MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: How does LlamaIndex handle large payloads from ComplyAdvantage searches?

When getsearchdetails returns a massive list of PEP or sanction hits, LlamaIndex chunks the text before indexing. This prevents context window overflow while keeping all risk details searchable.

Q: Can I search ComplyAdvantage history semantically in LlamaIndex?

Yes, by combining listsearches with a vector store index, your agent can search past compliance decisions using natural language. This helps find similar risk profiles without exact keyword matches.

Q: How do I monitor changes to watchlists using LlamaIndex?

You can set up a query pipeline that calls getsearchmonitors periodically. LlamaIndex indexes the updated monitoring states, allowing your agent to alert you to new risk changes.

Q: How do I update a search profile's settings?

Use updatesearchprofile to modify the matching rules for an active search. This lets you adjust filters like country or birth year directly from your agent.

Index ComplyAdvantage compliance profiles directly into your LlamaIndex vector store for semantic risk analysis.

Indexing compliance history for semantic retrieval

`list_searches` fetches your historical screening data so LlamaIndex can build a local search index using this MCP Server. Instead of querying the raw API every time, your agent performs semantic searches over past decisions. This approach helps you spot patterns in your compliance history that a standard database query misses. You get instant access to past screening outcomes without triggering new paid API calls.

Grounding RAG queries in active monitor data

`get_search_monitors` retrieves active watchlists and monitoring configurations to ground your compliance RAG pipeline in real-time data from the MCP Server. Your agent queries this state to answer complex questions about who is currently being tracked. By parsing the output of `list_comments`, the index includes human compliance decisions alongside raw API hits. This ensures your agent's answers reflect actual internal policies, not just external raw data.

Dynamic whitelisting via MCP Server tools

`update_search_entities` allows your LlamaIndex agent to modify risk levels and whitelist status based on semantic matches. When a user asks why an entity was cleared, the agent checks the indexed history and updates the entity state. The agent can also trigger `acknowledge_monitor` to clear alerts that the RAG pipeline identifies as low risk. This reduces manual noise for your compliance officers.

Setup guide

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