Perplexity

Index your games for LlamaIndex

Call `get_user_games` to pull your catalog into your local index. You can then query your library using natural language instead of hunting through menus. This turns your game list into a searchable knowledge base. Your agent finds games based on your descriptions rather than exact titles.

Manage collections inside LlamaIndex

Use `get_user_collections` to map out your library structure. Once indexed, your agent understands the relationship between your collections and the games they hold. This makes it easy to ask questions about your organizing habits. It keeps your LlamaIndex setup grounded in your actual itch.io data.

Query game details via MCP Server

Grab specific game metadata using `get_collection_games` and add it to your context window. This gives your agent the facts it needs to answer complex questions about your library. Your index stays fresh because the tools pull live data on demand. It solves the issue of agents hallucinating about games you don't actually own.

Setup guide

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

No. The MCP Server uses your API key to fetch data, but LlamaIndex only processes the results. Your credentials stay secure outside the index.

Yes, once you run the collection tools, the results are indexed. You can then ask the agent to find games within a specific collection.
