Connect Knackly MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Knackly to LlamaIndex and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Index Your Knackly MCP Server Catalogs
Knackly feeds the exact structural data your LlamaIndex application needs to understand your document repository. By running `list_catalogs` and `list_data_models`, your agent pulls the exact schemas for every legal template you own. Those schemas get indexed directly into your vector store. When a user asks which contract applies to a non-disclosure agreement in California, LlamaIndex runs a semantic search against that indexed data. It retrieves the exact model requirements without guessing.
Query Past Document Records
You can build RAG pipelines that ground their answers in actual historical business forms. Your agent uses `list_data_records` to fetch previous entries for a specific model. If a user needs to know how a specific conditional clause was filled out last quarter, the agent calls `get_record_details`. The exact variables are retrieved, indexed, and used to generate a highly accurate, context-aware response based on real company data.
Automate New Document Assembly
LlamaIndex doesn't just read data; it takes action based on the retrieved context. Once the agent finds the right template and gathers the necessary facts from your vector store, it executes `create_data_record`. The system then verifies the output by running `list_generated_documents`. You get a complete loop where historical knowledge directly drives the creation of new, accurate legal paperwork.
