Perplexity

Index live rates for RAG

Feed `get_latest_exchange_rates` into your vector store to keep your knowledge base current. The agent indexes the results so you can query past rates semantically. This turns transient API data into a searchable index. You stop relying on stale documents and start querying the current state of global markets.

Convert amounts with context

Use `convert_currency_amount` to perform math on the fly while answering user questions. The result is saved back into your index as part of the session context. Your agent doesn't just guess numbers. It pulls the calculation and grounds the final response in the actual data returned by the tool.

Historical data indexing

Map `get_historical_exchange_rate` results to your document store. You can ask the agent about trends on specific dates by searching through your indexed history. This builds a bridge between your static files and time-series data. The agent treats the API output as another document type to be retrieved and analyzed.

Setup guide

Set up Fixer.io Currency API 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 Fixer.io Currency API 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 Fixer.io Currency API tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent Fixer.io Currency API data")

Common questions about Fixer.io Currency API MCP in LlamaIndex

Yes. The tool output is structured as text and numbers, making it simple to ingest into your vector index. You can then query this data as part of your RAG workflow.

You use the MCP tool spec to convert server functions into standard LlamaIndex tools. Once converted, your FunctionAgent can call them during the retrieval process.

No. By using the tool as a grounding source, the agent retrieves the actual value from the API before formulating the answer. This ensures the facts are verified.

Yes. You can use the allowed_tools filter to restrict which functions the agent can trigger. This keeps your index focused on specific conversion tasks.

The server only processes currency symbols and amounts. Your index remains local, and the API interaction is limited to transient data fetches that are not cached by the server.
