Perplexity

Semantic search for monitor logs

Feed `get_metrics` output into your vector index to enable complex queries. You can ask your agent about patterns in site errors over the last month. LlamaIndex stores these results so you don't keep hitting the API. The history becomes a permanent part of your agent's context.

RAG-backed incident investigation

Combine `list_issues` data with your internal documentation files. Your agent finds the root cause by cross-referencing past outages with code changes. This approach grounds the agent in real data. It stops guessing and starts diagnosing based on the actual history of your monitors.

Live status page indexing

Map your `list_status_pages` and component data into your knowledge graph. This provides a clear view of current system health for your RAG pipeline. Your agent can query the index to provide updates on component status. It's faster than checking the dashboard manually during a fire.

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