How to Use the iLovePDF MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: Can LlamaIndex query past iLovePDF tasks?

Yes. You can use listpdftasks to retrieve recent task metadata and index it for your agent to reference.

Q: Does LlamaIndex support asynchronous iLovePDF processing?

Yes. The framework uses gettaskstatus asynchronously to poll the server while your agent performs other search tasks.

Q: Can I merge multiple PDFs before indexing them?

Absolutely. Run startpdftask with the merge operation, process it, and index the single output file.

Process and index your PDF files directly inside your LlamaIndex RAG pipelines using this iLovePDF MCP server.

Turn PDF outputs into LlamaIndex indexes

`get_pdf_download_link` supplies the raw document URL once your processing task completes. Your LlamaIndex pipeline downloads this file and ingests it directly into a vector store. Instead of just saving files to disk, you index the actual content. This makes the output of your PDF operations instantly searchable by your agent.

Ingest files directly from URLs

`upload_pdf_by_url` lets you point the server to any remote document. This bypasses the need to download files locally before sending them to the processing pipeline. Your agent identifies external links during a web search, uploads them, and prepares them for indexing. It cuts down on local storage and network overhead.

Manage document tasks programmatically with MCP

`start_pdf_task` initializes the operations like merging or splitting that prepare your documents for indexing. You control the entire preparation phase through simple agent tool calls. Use `list_pdf_tasks` to check past runs and ensure your index stays updated with the latest document versions. This keeps your knowledge base fresh without manual checks.

Setup guide

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