How to Use the Global Wine Score MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: Can LlamaIndex store the output of Global Wine Score queries for offline search?

Yes, you can index the JSON responses from searchwinescores directly into a LlamaIndex VectorStoreIndex. This lets you run semantic queries over normalized wine scores without hitting the API for every single user turn.

Q: How does LlamaIndex use Global Wine Score to prevent hallucinated ratings?

By forcing the agent to call getlatestscores before answering, LlamaIndex grounds its responses in actual data. The agent bases its wine recommendations on real-time normalized ratings rather than static model weights.

Index normalized critic ratings into your LlamaIndex vector store using this MCP Server to build RAG apps grounded in real wine data.

Build wine RAG pipelines with this MCP Server

Stop letting your LLM hallucinate wine ratings. This MCP Server allows LlamaIndex to query `search_wine_scores` and index the normalized 0-100 scores directly into your vector database, creating a factual knowledge base of critic consensus. When your agent answers user queries, it pulls directly from this indexed data. It uses `get_latest_scores` to fetch real-time ratings, ensuring your RAG application never recommends a bad vintage based on outdated training data.

Index regional wine data for semantic search

Turn structured wine data into searchable knowledge. Your LlamaIndex agent calls `scores_by_country` and `scores_by_color` to pull regional performance data, then indexes those ratings so users can search them using natural language. A query like 'find me highly rated bold red wines from Spain' matches the indexed outputs of `scores_by_color` and `scores_by_country` inside your LlamaIndex query engine. This gives you the speed of a vector database with the accuracy of live critic scores.

Track vintage quality trends in LlamaIndex

Analyze historical wine performance by indexing vintage-specific data. By calling `scores_by_vintage`, your LlamaIndex agent pulls historical ratings and indexes them alongside vintage charts to detect quality patterns over time. The agent uses `get_top_scores` to isolate investment-grade bottles and index their confidence-weighted averages. This creates a reliable data source for collectors who query your index to find undervalued vintages.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Global Wine Score MCP in LlamaIndex

Install llama-index-tools-mcp and instantiate the BasicMCPClient with your Vinkius URL. Wrap it in McpToolSpec and call to_tool_list_async() to expose the wine scoring tools to your LlamaIndex agent.

Yes, you can index the JSON responses from search_wine_scores directly into a LlamaIndex VectorStoreIndex. This lets you run semantic queries over normalized wine scores without hitting the API for every single user turn.

By forcing the agent to call get_latest_scores before answering, LlamaIndex grounds its responses in actual data. The agent bases its wine recommendations on real-time normalized ratings rather than static model weights.

Yes, you can configure your LlamaIndex agent to only access specific tools like scores_by_color or scores_by_country using the allowed_tools filter during initialization. This keeps your agent focused on specific regional or stylistic queries.

No, Vinkius processes all requests in an ephemeral sandbox environment. Your wine search queries, critic scores, and vintage data are never stored or shared with external parties.
