Make Readability a Searchable Metric

This server exposes tools to calculate Flesch-Kincaid and Gunning Fog scores. The key for LlamaIndex is that you can run these tools during ingestion, embedding the scores as metadata right into your vector store. Your documents are now indexed by their actual readability. Instead of just searching by topic, you can now build a query engine that finds information based on complexity. Ask questions like, "Find introductory documents about quantum computing with a Flesch-Kincaid score under 10." The `calculate_flesch_kincaid` tool provides the hard data for this.

Augment Your Knowledge Base with Reading Times

Use the `calculate_reading_time` tool to estimate how long each document in your index takes to read. This isn't a vague guess; it's a deterministic calculation based on word count and a configurable WPM rate. This data becomes part of your knowledge base. You can surface it in your RAG application's UI, showing users "5-min read" or "20-min read" next to search results, helping them choose the right document for their needs.

Ground Your LlamaIndex Agent in Facts

When your agent needs to compare two documents, it can use this MCP Server to get objective data. Instead of subjectively deciding which text is "simpler," it can pull the Gunning Fog score for both and make a decision based on the numbers. This prevents hallucination. Your agent's reasoning about content complexity is grounded in the real, calculated scores returned by the `calculate_gunning_fog` tool, not an internal model's opinion. This makes your RAG system's output more reliable.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Deterministic Readability Scorer MCP in LlamaIndex

You use it as a data enrichment step. As you ingest documents, your LlamaIndex pipeline calls the server's tools to get scores and reading times, then stores those values as metadata in your vector index.

Yes, that's the primary use case. Once the scores are indexed as metadata, you can construct queries that filter or sort documents based on their Flesch-Kincaid or Gunning Fog scores.

Consistency for indexing. If you use an LLM, re-indexing a document might produce a different score. With these deterministic tools, the scores are stable, ensuring your index remains accurate and your queries are reproducible.

Yes. As long as your LlamaIndex data loader can extract a plain text string, you can pass it to these MCP tools. It works on web pages, PDFs, and database entries.

The text you send is processed in a zero-trust, isolated environment on Vinkius. The MCP server only holds the data long enough to run the math; it's gone the instant the score is returned to your LlamaIndex agent.
