Indexable date logic for LlamaIndex

Feed the output of `diff_dates` directly into your vector store. LlamaIndex treats these precise intervals as searchable knowledge. You can query past session durations or deadlines. The data is indexed as facts rather than LLM guesses.

Safe parsing for LlamaIndex RAG

Run raw user text through `parse_date` before building your index. It ensures your knowledge base only contains valid ISO timestamps. This keeps your LlamaIndex retrieval results clean. Your agent searches through verified dates only.

Timezone-aware indexing with LlamaIndex

Use `to_timezone` to normalize document timestamps during your ingestion pipeline. Your agent indexes everything in a consistent timezone. This makes semantic search across global documents reliable. LlamaIndex connects the dots between events in different regions.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Date Utils Engine MCP in LlamaIndex

Absolutely. You can inject the tool outputs into your LlamaIndex FunctionAgent to ground your RAG application in real-time calendar data.

Install the MCP tool spec, initialize the client, and pass the tools to your agent. It maps the server tools into a format your index can use natively.

Yes, you can use the allowed_tools filter to restrict which date operations your LlamaIndex agent can perform.

The tool outputs become part of your index if you choose to store them. This lets your agent retrieve historical date calculations later.

The server processes your ISO strings in a stateless sandbox. It does not store or log your private date info, ensuring your data stays within your LlamaIndex environment.
