How to Use the LegiScan Legislation Lookup MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: Can LlamaIndex index the outputs of LegiScan Legislation Lookup?

Yes. The tool outputs from getbilldetails are parsed into document nodes and indexed into your vector store for RAG.

Q: Can I restrict which tools LlamaIndex can access?

Yes. Use the allowedtools filter when initializing your tool spec to limit access to specific endpoints.

Index live state dockets directly into LlamaIndex vector stores for hallucination-free research.

Index live state bill updates with LlamaIndex

`get_state_master_list` gives your LlamaIndex pipeline direct access to the active legislative docket of any state. Your pipeline indexes these raw dockets into your vector store for semantic search. This setup grounds your RAG applications in real-time legislative reality. Your agent queries the index instead of relying on stale training data, eliminating hallucinations about state laws.

Inject deep bill histories into your index

`get_bill_details` retrieves the complete history, sponsor details, and full text of specific bills. LlamaIndex ingests this raw payload directly into your document store. This lets your agent run complex queries across actual legislative text. The McpToolSpec converts the tool outputs into indexable nodes automatically.

Query active state bills using semantic search

`search_bills` allows your LlamaIndex agent to find bills by keyword and immediately index the matching metadata. You get direct access to current state-level legislative activity. The agent filters the search results before saving them to your vector database. This keeps your index clean and focused only on the specific policy areas you track.

Call mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async() to convert all LegiScan Legislation Lookup 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 LegiScan Legislation Lookup tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent LegiScan Legislation Lookup data")
