How to Use the Determ MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: How do I configure Determ with LlamaIndex?

Install llama-index-tools-mcp via pip. Create a BasicMCPClient with your Vinkius URL, wrap it in an McpToolSpec, and pass the async tool list to your FunctionAgent.

Q: Can LlamaIndex index Determ media mentions for RAG?

Yes, the agent can fetch data using listmediamentions and embed the results into your vector store. This allows you to run semantic searches against your recent press coverage.

Q: How do I restrict which Determ tools LlamaIndex can use?

Use the allowedtools filter when configuring your McpToolSpec. This prevents the agent from calling tools like getaccountmetadata if you only want it reading mentions.

Indexing PR mentions

Your LlamaIndex application can ingest live press coverage directly into a queryable knowledge base. The agent uses `list_media_mentions` to pull recent articles and social posts matching your brand. Instead of just reading them once, LlamaIndex embeds these texts for future semantic search. When users ask about recent PR events, the agent fetches the specific text using `get_mention_details`. It combines this live API data with your internal company documents to generate grounded answers. Hallucinations disappear because the LLM relies entirely on actual media data stored in your index.

RAG for brand sentiment

Grounding your AI in real sentiment metrics changes how you handle market research. You can build a FunctionAgent that runs `list_monitoring_queries` to map out every tracked competitor. It then indexes those topics so your internal teams can chat with the data. Asking the agent about public perception triggers `get_query_sentiment_summary`. LlamaIndex retrieves the exact positive and negative breakdown from Determ before formulating a response. This means marketing teams get answers backed by hard numbers rather than LLM guesswork.

High-reach source tracking via MCP Server

Tracking top publishers becomes a semantic search problem when you index Determ data through this MCP Server. Calling `list_recent_high_reach_mentions` pulls in the articles with the biggest audience impact. Your RAG pipeline stores these high-value hits alongside your historical media lists. The agent can then execute `list_top_media_sources` to cross-reference which publications consistently write about your industry. Users can query past sessions to find out which journalists they should pitch next week. LlamaIndex handles the data retrieval while the MCP tool spec manages the API execution.

Setup guide

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