How to Use the Fly.io MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: How do I connect the Fly.io MCP Server to LlamaIndex?

Install the tool package using pip install llama-index-tools-mcp. Initialize the BasicMCPClient with your Vinkius URL, wrap it in McpToolSpec, and convert it using totoollistasync() for your FunctionAgent.

Q: Can LlamaIndex index Fly.io volume data for search?

Yes. LlamaIndex can query your storage metadata by calling listvolumes through the MCP Server, converting the volume IDs and region mappings into searchable document nodes.

Q: How does LlamaIndex prevent hallucinations when managing Fly.io apps?

The agent queries live API data using getapp and listmachines before making decisions. By grounding its context in real-time JSON payloads rather than static training data, the agent avoids targeting non-existent instances.

Index your Fly.io microVM configurations into LlamaIndex vector stores to ground your agent's infrastructure queries in real-time data.

Ground LlamaIndex RAG pipelines in Fly.io state

Turn your live infrastructure into a searchable knowledge base. By calling `list_apps` and `list_machines`, LlamaIndex indexes your active Fly.io deployment topology directly into a vector store for semantic search. Your agent queries this index to answer complex questions about cluster distribution. Instead of guessing, it retrieves actual runtime details fetched via `get_machine` to explain which regions are currently active.

Map persistent storage using this MCP Server

Let your LlamaIndex agent track and query physical disk allocations across your regions. The agent uses `list_volumes` to gather storage data, indexing volume sizes and attachment states to prevent provisioning errors. When you need to scale, the agent checks the indexed storage states. It determines if a volume is orphaned before triggering `create_machine` to mount it, keeping your stateful databases running smoothly.

Feed real-time machine execution logs into LlamaIndex

Run diagnostics through the MCP Server and index the outputs for historical analysis. Your agent calls `exec_machine` to run commands inside your containers, parsing the terminal output directly into your document index. If a service crashes, the agent compares current `get_app` network configs against historical index snapshots. It then uses `start_machine` to reboot the instance or `stop_machine` to isolate it for debugging.

Setup guide

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

You can use the allowed tools filter during setup. This restricts your agent to safe actions like `get_machine` while completely blocking destructive tools like `delete_machine`.

Your Fly.io access tokens and private machine configurations are executed inside isolated, ephemeral V8 sandboxes. Vinkius handles the authentication handshake securely, ensuring your raw API keys are never stored in your vector database or exposed to third-party LLMs.
