How to Use the Jina AI MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: Will Jina AI help me index dynamic web pages in LlamaIndex?

Yes. Use readurl to fetch site content, then pass that markdown to your LlamaIndex document loaders for permanent indexing.

Q: Can Jina AI rerank documents for LlamaIndex queries?

Absolutely. You plug rerankdocuments into your query engine. It sorts your retrieved nodes by relevance before they reach the LLM.

Q: How do I handle token limits during indexing?

Use tokenizetext to check your content size before you commit it to your vector store. This prevents truncation errors during retrieval.

Perplexity

Turn web content into indexed knowledge

Use `read_url` to pull content into your LlamaIndex knowledge base. The tool strips away the boilerplate, leaving you with clean text for your vector store. Once indexed, this data becomes part of your agent's long-term memory. You query it just like any local document.

Generate embeddings for semantic search

Call `get_embeddings` to convert your text into vectors. LlamaIndex stores these in your preferred database for fast retrieval. This keeps your semantic search grounded in the data you actually retrieved from the web. It is the core of a modern RAG setup.

Refine search results with reranking

Use `rerank_documents` after your initial retrieval step. It ensures the documents provided to your LLM are the most pertinent ones. This improves the quality of answers generated by LlamaIndex. It filters out the noise that often degrades vector search results.

Setup guide

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