How to Use the Google Sheets MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: Can LlamaIndex query multiple Google Sheets tabs?

Yes, the agent can call getspreadsheet to list all tabs and then query each one individually. It effectively treats the entire workbook as a single data source.

Index your Google Sheets data into LlamaIndex to build searchable knowledge bases that ground your agent's answers in live API data.

Index Google Sheets content in LlamaIndex

Turn your static spreadsheets into a searchable knowledge base. By using `get_sheet_values`, your agent pulls current data to populate vector stores for semantic retrieval. This grounds your model's output in facts. Instead of guessing, the agent queries the indexed content to provide accurate answers based on the latest spreadsheet rows.

Live Google Sheets data retrieval

Keep your RAG pipeline fresh by fetching updates directly from the source. The agent uses `batch_get_values` to grab the most recent entries before answering a user query. It removes the need for manual CSV exports. Your agent queries the sheet directly, ensuring that your knowledge base reflects the actual state of your business data.

Update spreadsheets from LlamaIndex

Allow your agent to act on its findings by updating your records. When the agent concludes an analysis, it executes `append_sheet_values` to save the results back to the source sheet. This closes the loop between data analysis and storage. The agent writes its findings back into a dedicated tab, keeping your documentation updated automatically.

Setup guide

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