How to Use the Insightful MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: How does LlamaIndex index Insightful listactivity logs?

The BasicMCPClient pulls raw activity logs via listactivity. LlamaIndex then converts these records into document nodes and indexes them into your vector store.

Q: Can I run RAG queries on Insightful team metrics in LlamaIndex?

Yes. By indexing the output of getproductivity, your LlamaIndex agent can answer complex natural language questions about team output using live data.

Q: How do I limit which Insightful tools LlamaIndex can access?

Use the allowedtools filter when initializing the McpToolSpec with this MCP Server. This restricts the agent to specific tools like listtasks or listlocations.

Q: How is my organization's employee data kept secure?

All getemployee requests run through Vinkius's zero-trust V8 Isolate Sandbox. Your employee records and personal details are processed in memory and never written to disk.

Build a searchable knowledge base of team metrics by indexing Insightful data with LlamaIndex.

Index activity logs for LlamaIndex semantic search

The `list_activity` tool feeds real-time team logs directly into your LlamaIndex vector store to build a searchable record of daily operations. Your agent indexes these raw events, turning unstructured activity logs into queryable vectors that ground your queries in hard telemetry. This setup eliminates LLM hallucinations about who is working on what. The agent queries the vector index, pulls the latest logs, and answers questions using verified operational data.

Build RAG pipelines on productivity metrics

The `get_productivity` tool pulls structured performance metrics into your LlamaIndex knowledge-augmented pipelines. The framework indexes these metrics alongside your internal wikis, creating a unified query engine that connects team output to actual project documentation. You get answers grounded in live data. When you ask about team output, the RAG engine queries the indexed `get_productivity` data instead of relying on outdated spreadsheet exports.

Query team structures using this MCP Server

The `list_teams` tool exposes your organization's structural hierarchy to the LlamaIndex query engine. By connecting this MCP Server, your agent indexes team memberships and maps them to active projects retrieved via `list_projects`. You can filter queries using the allowed_tools configuration. This ensures the agent only accesses specific organizational data when building its semantic index.

Setup guide

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