Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Elevio MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Elevio to LlamaIndex and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Index Live Elevio Content in LlamaIndex
Turn your knowledge base into a searchable vector index by feeding the output of `list_knowledge_articles` into your LlamaIndex pipeline. This grounds your agent in real-time data. Your system stops guessing because it uses live API data to build the context. It creates a unified source of truth for all customer-facing inquiries.
Contextual Search and Retrieval
Use `search_knowledge_articles` to pull relevant documentation into your index on demand. This ensures your RAG pipeline always reflects the latest article content. Your agent fetches exactly what it needs to answer questions. It avoids hallucinations by anchoring every response to your actual knowledge base.
Automated Knowledge Monitoring
Monitor `list_latest_article_updates` to keep your vector store current. When articles change, your index updates to match the new source of truth. This keeps your retrieval system in sync with reality. You stop serving old information to users who need the latest documentation.
