Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect DCL Logistics MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect DCL Logistics 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.
Index inventory for semantic search
LlamaIndex turns your warehouse data into a queryable index. Use `list_warehouse_inventory` to pull stock levels into your vector store for instant retrieval. Your agent no longer relies on stale reports. It searches your actual inventory status to answer questions grounded in current API data.
Ground responses in shipment records
Stop guessing about delivery status. The server uses `get_shipment_details` to feed carrier info directly into your indexed knowledge base. This allows your agent to provide specific, verified answers. It pulls the exact delivery date from DCL Logistics to satisfy user inquiries.
Query past order performance
Index your audit trails using `get_order_details`. This adds historical context to your LlamaIndex setup, making past events searchable. You can ask your agent about specific fulfillment trends or order issues. It retrieves the data from the index rather than hallucinating details.
