How to Use the Fly.io Extended MCP in LlamaIndex
Index your live infrastructure state from Fly.io Extended directly into LlamaIndex for grounded, searchable system knowledge.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Fly.io Extended MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Fly.io Extended 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 infrastructure data
Turn your current platform state into a searchable knowledge base. By running `list_apps` or `get_machine` and indexing the results, your RAG system understands your actual production footprint. This prevents the common issue of agents hallucinating about resources that don't exist. Your agent queries the index to find the correct machine ID before attempting an update.
Ground AI decisions in real-time
Use the Fly.io Extended MCP server to supply context for your queries. Instead of relying on static docs, your agent retrieves live volume metadata using `get_volume` to answer questions about disk usage. This creates a feedback loop where your documentation and infrastructure are always in sync. Your LlamaIndex agent provides answers based on the current state of your cloud resources.
Searchable infrastructure history
Store snapshot data from `list_volume_snapshots` in your vector store. You can query your past infrastructure states to identify when a specific configuration change occurred. This makes auditing your infrastructure changes trivial. You search your history for specific machine configurations without digging through logs or external dashboards.
