Index Your Entire Operation

LlamaIndex doesn't just call a tool once. It calls it, gets the data, and adds that data to a vector index. Use `list_orders` and `list_customers` to build a queryable history of all your jobs and who they were for. Now you can ask semantic questions about your business. Instead of just fetching a single order, you can ask, 'Which customers in the north-end had plumbing work done last quarter?' LlamaIndex finds the relevant data from its index of past tool calls.

Get Answers Grounded in Real Data

When your agent answers a question, it cites its sources—the actual data from your Craftboxx account. Ask 'What's the status of order #5021?' and the agent will use `get_order_details` and show you the real-time data it found, not a guess. This is critical for business operations. You can build a QA bot for your office staff that can answer questions about inventory (`list_materials`) or vehicle status (`list_vehicles_resources`) with confidence. Every answer is tied directly to an API call result.

A Live Data Source for Your LlamaIndex Agent

This MCP Server gives your LlamaIndex application a direct line to your Craftboxx account. The tools let you ingest data about everything from appointments (`list_appointments`) to team members (`list_employees`). This keeps your knowledge base fresh. You're building a system that learns from your operations. The more you use the tools to query your business, the smarter your index becomes. This MCP Server turns your day-to-day Craftboxx data into a long-term, searchable asset.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Craftboxx MCP in LlamaIndex

LlamaIndex automatically indexes the results of your Craftboxx tool calls. This builds a searchable knowledge base, so you can ask complex questions about your business data over time, not just fetch one record at a time.

Yes, that's the whole point. Once LlamaIndex indexes the output of tools like `list_orders`, that data is stored in your vector store. You can then query it without needing to call the Craftboxx API again.

You can move beyond simple lookups. Ask things like, 'Summarize all tasks completed by John Doe last month' or 'Which materials are most frequently used for emergency jobs?' LlamaIndex finds the relevant indexed data to answer.

You'll install the LlamaIndex MCP tools package and create a client pointing to your Vinkius URL. From there, you generate a `McpToolSpec` which converts the server's capabilities into tools your LlamaIndex agent can use.

Your LlamaIndex agent only works with the Craftboxx data it's told to index, such as order history, customer details, or resource lists. The connection is managed by Vinkius, with each API call isolated in a zero-trust, single-use sandbox. Your data isn't persisted on the server.
