How to Use the Frame.io MCP in LlamaIndex
Index Frame.io video metadata via the MCP Server into LlamaIndex to query your production assets.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Frame.io MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Frame.io 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 Video Asset Metadata
The `get_asset_details` and `get_project_details` tools let your LlamaIndex application pull raw metadata into a vector store. You query your entire video catalog based on resolution, frame rate, or creator. Stop guessing which drive holds the 4K b-roll. You just ask. The framework retrieves the exact asset ID and path by searching the indexed API data.
LlamaIndex MCP Server for Feedback
Feed the output of `list_asset_comments` directly into a LlamaIndex document store. Your application answers questions about past creative decisions grounded in actual client feedback. If a director asks why a specific color grade was rejected last month, your RAG setup finds the exact timestamped comment. It stops hallucinations by relying strictly on pulled review notes.
Search Team Directories
Run `list_collaborators` and `list_accounts` to map out who worked on what. LlamaIndex turns this directory structure into queryable context. You find out instantly who approved the final cut. The agent queries the index and returns the specific user profile linked to the project.
