Semantic search for LlamaIndex

Convert your support history into a vector-ready format. Use `list_conversations` to pull raw text and let your indexer turn that data into searchable embeddings. This makes your past tickets useful for future queries. Your agent queries the index to find how your team solved similar problems in the past.

Knowledge-augmented replies in LlamaIndex

Ground your agent responses in your live help center. By calling `list_help_articles`, the system ingests your latest documentation into the index automatically. This ensures your agent provides answers based on current product info. It checks the index for relevant snippets before deciding how to reply to the customer.

Segmented data indexing

Filter your workspace data before it hits the index. Use `list_segments` and `list_data_attributes` to define which contacts or conversations reach your knowledge base. This keeps your index clean and relevant. You avoid cluttering your vector store with irrelevant test data or outdated support tickets.

Setup guide

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