How to Use the Lattice MCP in LlamaIndex
Index your Lattice HR data into searchable knowledge bases using LlamaIndex for grounded AI answers.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Lattice MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Lattice 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.
Ground AI answers in Lattice data
Transform raw HR records into searchable vectors. Your LlamaIndex application calls `list_users` and `list_goals` to build a semantic index of your company's performance landscape. Querying this index produces grounded answers. The agent no longer guesses because it references the actual data retrieved from your Lattice instance.
Query historical feedback with LlamaIndex
Make past praise and feedback searchable. By running `list_feedback` through your ingestion pipeline, you turn static entries into a knowledge base for your agents. Retrieval becomes a semantic task. You ask questions about team sentiment, and the system finds the relevant feedback entries using vector search.
Sync review cycles into your knowledge graph
Keep your LlamaIndex knowledge base current with active review cycles. The agent uses `list_reviews` to identify updates and fetches details with `get_review`. This keeps your RAG application relevant. You avoid stale information by indexing the most recent records directly from the HR platform.
