How to Use the Convai MCP in LlamaIndex
Index Convai character data into LlamaIndex to build RAG apps that ground character responses in your specific API data.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Convai MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Convai to LlamaIndex and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Ground responses with LlamaIndex
Use `get_chat_session_details` to pull historical transcripts and index them locally. This lets your LlamaIndex setup find patterns in past conversations for better context. Your agent builds a searchable knowledge base from this output. It stops hallucinations by grounding every answer in the actual API data.
Automate character setup in LlamaIndex
Call `list_characters` and pass the results to your indexer. You can now query your entire character roster using natural language. This makes managing dozens of personas easy. You just search your index to find the right ID for `get_prompt` or `update_character` calls.
Search narrative triggers
Extract `list_narrative_triggers` into your vector store. Your indexer makes these triggers queryable alongside your other project documents. When a specific event happens, your agent finds the relevant trigger ID quickly. It keeps your game logic mapped to your live data.
