How to Use the Forecast MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: Can LlamaIndex query Forecast milestones semantically?

Yes. By indexing the output of listmilestones, your agent can answer natural language questions about upcoming deadlines and project phases.

Q: How do I handle large client lists in LlamaIndex?

Use the tool spec to run listclients and filter the results before indexing. This keeps your vector embeddings clean and relevant.

Index live Forecast project data directly into your LlamaIndex knowledge graphs.

Index Forecast Project Details for Semantic Search

Turn your project data into a queryable knowledge base. By feeding the output of `list_projects` and `get_project` directly into LlamaIndex vector stores, your agent can answer complex questions about project status without manual API searches. This MCP server exposes live data that LlamaIndex turns into document nodes. Instead of browsing boards, you query your agent about which initiatives are slipping, and it answers using indexed facts.

Build RAG Pipelines on LlamaIndex with MCP Server Data

Combine static documents with live resource metrics. The agent calls `list_tasks` and `list_milestones` to ground its answers in real-time schedule data. This prevents the agent from hallucinating deadlines or task owners. Using the MCP protocol, LlamaIndex pulls fresh data on demand. This ensures your retrieval-augmented generation pipelines always have access to the latest project timelines.

Query Team Availability Semantically

Stop guessing who has bandwidth for new assignments. Your agent uses `list_people` to ingest team profiles and availability, indexing them for semantic lookup. You can ask who is best suited for a task, and LlamaIndex matches skills and availability. This MCP integration connects your team directory to your local vector database. The agent compares active task loads from `list_tasks` with team profiles to suggest optimal assignments.

Setup guide

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