How to Use the EasyPost MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: Can LlamaIndex query historical EasyPost shipments semantically?

Yes. By running listshippingshipments via the MCP server, you can index past shipment records. Once indexed, your agent can search through shipping history using natural language queries.

Q: Does the EasyPost tool support asynchronous execution in LlamaIndex?

Yes, you can call totoollistasync() on the tool spec. This prevents blocking your main application loop when fetching large sets of shipment data.

Q: How do I verify which carrier accounts are connected?

Run listcarrieraccounts to get the full list of active integrations. Your agent can match these against your current shipment rates.

Index live shipping metrics directly into your LlamaIndex vector store using this EasyPost MCP Server.

Build a shipping knowledge base in LlamaIndex

The `list_shipping_shipments` tool extracts your entire shipment history to seed your local index. This tool feeds raw shipping records directly into your document pipeline. Instead of querying the API repeatedly, LlamaIndex indexes these records for semantic search. Check the logs if your index gets out of sync, then run `list_latest_shipments` to pull the latest updates.

Query live tracking data with LlamaIndex RAG

The `list_active_trackers` tool outputs all currently monitored packages to ground your agent's answers in real-time data. This tool stops your agent from hallucinating delivery statuses. Here's the deal. Your agent reads the indexed tracking events, runs `get_tracking_details` for specific anomalies, and answers customer queries using actual carrier data. Stop guessing what's happening on the road.

Audit delivery performance using this MCP Server

The `quick_delivery_health_audit` tool calculates your active delivery success rates and operational speed. Your LlamaIndex agent reads this analytical summary to update its system prompt context. Combine this with `list_carrier_accounts` to see which carriers are dragging down your metrics. It's the fastest way to feed raw logistics performance data directly into your RAG pipeline.

Setup guide

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