How to Use the Hologram.io MCP in LlamaIndex
Index your live IoT data into LlamaIndex for grounded, accurate analysis with Hologram.io.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Hologram.io MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Hologram.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.
Ground your RAG pipeline in live fleet data
Feed the output of `list_iot_devices` into your LlamaIndex knowledge base for semantic search. Instead of guessing device states, your agent queries an index built directly from your live Hologram.io account. This ensures your agent answers questions based on actual cellular connectivity status. It removes hallucinations by grounding every response in current API data.
Query historical usage patterns with index support
Use `get_recent_data_sessions` to populate your vector store with historical connectivity logs. Your LlamaIndex application then searches these sessions to identify long-term trends across your deployed hardware. This approach lets you ask natural language questions about your fleet's behavior over time. The agent retrieves the relevant session data and synthesizes a clear answer for your team.
Map device locations with semantic context
Retrieve approximate coordinates via `get_device_locations` and index them alongside your device metadata. LlamaIndex then associates specific hardware IDs with their geographic footprint for spatial reasoning. Your agent uses this combined index to explain where devices are operating relative to your fleet requirements. It makes your cellular infrastructure queryable in plain English.
