Knowledge retrieval for LlamaIndex

Feed file metadata into your vector store. By calling `list_folder` and `get_metadata`, the system builds a searchable map of your cloud storage contents. This turns your storage into a queryable database. When you ask about file locations, the agent knows exactly where they reside.

MCP Server context injection

Use `search_files` to pull relevant documents into your RAG pipeline. The tool outputs are indexed as context, preventing the agent from guessing file paths. Your application grounds its answers in real data. It reads the files, indexes the content, and responds based on what it actually found.

Live API data integration

Combine your document index with live API calls. The `get_current_user` tool ensures the agent knows exactly which account it is querying. This prevents cross-account data leaks. You get precise, grounded answers because the system respects the boundaries of your connected account.

Convert to LlamaIndex tools
Call mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async() to convert all DropBox Alternative 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 DropBox Alternative tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent DropBox Alternative data")
