How to Use the Kannapedia Cannabis Genetics MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: Can I build a LlamaIndex app to compare strains from Kannapedia Cannabis Genetics based on their effects?

Absolutely. Use the searchbyeffect tool to pull lists of strains for 'Relaxed' and 'Energetic'. Index both sets of results, then ask your query engine to 'compare the terpene profiles of the top 3 relaxed vs energetic strains.'

Q: How does LlamaIndex use the searchgenetics tool from the Kannapedia Cannabis Genetics server?

You can create a data agent that uses searchgenetics to build a family tree of strains. It indexes this lineage data, so you can later ask questions like "What are the children of OG Kush and what are their common terpenes?"

Q: Can LlamaIndex update its knowledge base if Kannapedia adds new strains?

Yes. You can set up a recurring job that calls tools like searchgenetics with a wildcard, finds new strains, and uses the McpToolSpec to ingest and index the new data automatically.

Index Kannapedia's entire genetic database. Build RAG apps with LlamaIndex that query real-time strain data.

Turn Strain Data Into Knowledge

Don't just call the API, index the results. Use the Kannapedia tools to pull data on hundreds of strains using `search_genetics` and `get_strain_detail`, then let LlamaIndex transform that raw data into a vectorized knowledge base. Now your application can answer semantic questions like "show me relaxing strains that don't have myrcene." LlamaIndex finds the relevant, indexed strain data and feeds it to the LLM for a grounded, accurate answer. It’s a huge step up from simple API calls.

Augment Queries with Live Data

When a user asks about a new strain, your LlamaIndex agent can use the `get_strain_detail` tool to fetch live data. This information is then used in the prompt, ensuring the answer is based on the latest terpene profile from Kannapedia, not just the model's training data. This is RAG in action. You combine your indexed knowledge with fresh data from the MCP server. Your agent can compare a user's request against your existing index, then use `search_by_effect` to see if any new strains match the criteria.

A LlamaIndex-Native MCP Server

This isn't a generic API wrapper. The `McpToolSpec` gives your LlamaIndex agent a native understanding of each Kannapedia tool, from `search_by_terpene` to `search_genetics`. It knows the required inputs and expected outputs automatically. Setup is simple. You just point the client at the Vinkius endpoint and LlamaIndex handles the rest. You can immediately start building query engines and data agents that are deeply integrated with the Kannapedia genetic database.

Setup guide

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