How to Use the Glama MCP in LlamaIndex
Index live API data from the Glama registry directly into your LlamaIndex knowledge base.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Glama MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Glama 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.
Indexing Glama tools with LlamaIndex
Turn external API responses into searchable knowledge. Your LlamaIndex agent invokes `glama_list_mcp_servers` to find data sources, then indexes the output. This makes your RAG pipeline grounded in live data. You get answers based on current API results rather than static documents.
Querying Glama attributes in LlamaIndex
Inspect the parameters and context windows of your models. Use `glama_get_mcp_attributes` to filter which servers your LlamaIndex application accesses. It allows you to build a refined knowledge base that only queries high-performance servers. You control the scope of your agent's data retrieval.
Unified model details for LlamaIndex
Retrieve exact model configurations before you query. Your agent uses `glama_get_gateway_model_details` to check price and context limits. LlamaIndex agents use this to make smart decisions about which models to use for specific RAG tasks. It prevents errors by validating specs beforehand.
