How to Use the Easyship MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: How do I register the Easyship MCP Server with LlamaIndex?

Install llama-index-tools-mcp and initialize the client. Convert the server's tools using McpToolSpec and pass them to your LlamaIndex FunctionAgent to start querying shipping data.

Q: Can LlamaIndex cache Easyship rate queries to save API limits?

Yes. You can index the outputs of getshippingrates into a local LlamaIndex vector store. This lets your agent perform semantic lookups on recent quotes before making a fresh API call.

Q: Can I filter which Easyship tools LlamaIndex can access?

Yes, you can use the allowedtools filter during setup. This lets you restrict the LlamaIndex agent to read-only tools like listintransitshipments while blocking rate generation if needed.

Q: Is my Easyship account metadata safe with LlamaIndex?

Yes. Sensitive account keys and results from geteasyshipaccountmetadata are processed inside secure V8 sandboxes. Your credentials never touch public vector stores, and only the specific shipping records you choose to index are stored in your database.

Index your Easyship logistics data directly into LlamaIndex vector stores for hallucination-free shipping support.

Index live Easyship data into LlamaIndex RAG

Turn your active shipping logs into a searchable knowledge base. By connecting this MCP Server, LlamaIndex can pull live tracking updates using `list_logistics_shipments` and index the results directly into your vector store. Your agent queries real-time shipping data instead of guessing. Avoid outdated information. The agent uses `list_latest_shipments` to refresh the index, ensuring that your customer support RAG pipeline always references the most recent delivery statuses.

Semantic search over your Easyship history

Stop writing complex database queries to find old orders. This MCP toolset allows your LlamaIndex agent to run `search_shipments_by_reference` to pull specific records, then parse the details semantically to answer natural language questions about delivery timelines. The engine combines these Easyship API results with your internal LlamaIndex documents. If a customer asks why a package is delayed, the agent checks `get_shipment_details` and compares it with your warehouse policies to give an accurate, context-aware response.

Smart courier capability analysis

Let your agent analyze shipping routes on the fly. By exposing `list_available_couriers` to LlamaIndex, the framework indexes service boundaries and courier capabilities as queryable metadata. When planning new shipments, the agent calls `get_shipping_rates` and evaluates the options against your indexed courier profiles. This ensures you never try to send a package through a carrier that doesn't support the target region.

Setup guide

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

Yes. You can index the outputs of `get_shipping_rates` into a local LlamaIndex vector store. This lets your agent perform semantic lookups on recent quotes before making a fresh API call.

The framework forces the agent to ground its answers in actual tool outputs. When querying `get_shipment_details`, the LlamaIndex agent must reference the returned JSON payload rather than inventing tracking updates.

Yes, you can use the `allowed_tools` filter during setup. This lets you restrict the LlamaIndex agent to read-only tools like `list_in_transit_shipments` while blocking rate generation if needed.

Yes. Sensitive account keys and results from `get_easyship_account_metadata` are processed inside secure V8 sandboxes. Your credentials never touch public vector stores, and only the specific shipping records you choose to index are stored in your database.
