How to Use the Griffin MCP in LlamaIndex
Turn Griffin financial data into a searchable knowledge base using LlamaIndex for grounded, accurate AI responses.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Griffin MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Griffin 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 Griffin data for RAG
Convert your API results into vector embeddings for semantic search. When you run `list_verifications`, the output is indexed immediately for your agent to query later. Stop hallucinating about account history. Your AI client pulls from a grounded knowledge base that stays updated with the latest Griffin records.
Grounded financial decision making
Query your banking data using natural language instead of raw IDs. Your agent references indexed data from `get_organization` and `list_accounts` to answer complex questions. Your model understands the context of your ledger. It retrieves specific transaction details by searching the index rather than relying on stale training data.
Unified knowledge retrieval
Combine your private documents with live Griffin API data. Your RAG pipeline merges indexed reports and internal banking records for a complete view of your firm. Everything is searchable. You get a single interface to ask questions about your financial status, payees, and active verifications.
