Perplexity

Clean up raw postal codes before indexing

The `format_postal_code` tool ensures your LlamaIndex RAG pipeline does not index messy, unformatted address data. When your ingestion pipeline processes raw documents, it passes messy postal codes through this tool to format them. Standardizing these codes prevents duplicate index entries caused by minor formatting differences. Your vector store gets clean, uniform postcodes, which makes location-based queries much more accurate.

Ground your agent queries in formatted data

The `format_postal_code` tool lets your LlamaIndex agent format user queries on the fly using this MCP tool. When a user searches for records near a specific UK postcode, the agent cleans the query postcode first. This step guarantees that the search query matches the exact format stored in your vector database. You avoid retrieval misses caused by missing spaces or lowercase letters in the user's input.

Build a location-aware LlamaIndex RAG with this MCP Server

This MCP Server exposes the `format_postal_code` tool directly to your LlamaIndex query engines. Your agent can call the tool to validate user inputs before performing semantic search over your customer database. Inconsistent spacing in Brazilian CEPs or Canadian postal codes won't cause retrieval errors anymore. Clean, verified data is handed to your RAG application for every search.
