Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect FinLegal MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect FinLegal 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 FinLegal data for semantic search
Use `list_claims` and `get_case` to pull raw information into your vector store. LlamaIndex then converts these results into a searchable knowledge base. You stop relying on static reports. Instead, your RAG application provides answers grounded in the actual, live API state of your litigation portfolio.
Automate contact lookups via MCP Server
Deploy `get_contact` and `get_contact_by_email` to retrieve specific entity profiles. The agent stores these as context, allowing for grounded retrieval during complex queries. This creates a unified view of your contacts. You search across your entire CRM history using natural language, and the system pulls the exact record needed.
Update case activities through RAG
Trigger `create_activity` or `update_contact` directly from your application's logic. Once the agent makes a decision, it pushes the change back to the source. You bridge the gap between analysis and action. The system doesn't just read your funding data; it modifies the state when you provide the instruction.
