Index social performance in LlamaIndex

Feed the output of `list_outbound_messages` directly into your vector store. This lets your LlamaIndex application query past performance to inform new content. Instead of guessing what worked, your agent searches through the actual text of your past posts. It turns your social presence into a searchable resource for your RAG pipeline.

Query profiles with LlamaIndex agents

Use `get_social_profile` to retrieve specific network details and index them for quick reference. Your agent can then decide which channel best suits the current context. You can pull metadata about your accounts and store it in your index. This provides the agent with context about current connectivity and account names without manual lookups.

Securely access Hootsuite via LlamaIndex

Map your organization structure using `list_organizations` before building your index. This ensures only relevant data enters your vector store. You can use `list_organization_members` to verify who has access to which profiles. It keeps your knowledge base clean and restricted to authorized data only.

Setup guide

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