How to Use the LendAPI MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: How does LlamaIndex index data returned by getapplicationdetails?

LlamaIndex ingests the JSON payload from getapplicationdetails as a Document node. It parses the financial metrics and credit decision details, making them searchable via semantic queries.

Q: Can I use LlamaIndex to query historical LendAPI borrower profiles?

Yes, your agent uses the MCP tool listborrowers to pull profiles and index them into a local vector database. You then query this index to analyze borrower trends without repeatedly hitting the API.

Q: How does the LlamaIndex agent handle empty fields in getborrowerdetails?

The agent checks the structure returned by getborrowerdetails and uses metadata filters to ignore empty fields. This ensures your semantic search results remain accurate and clean.

Q: Can I run automated credit checks using this setup?

Your agent uses createloanapplication to generate a draft and then invokes submitloanapplication to trigger the underwriting engine. The resulting decision is immediately indexed for future retrieval.

Index live LendAPI borrower records and loan applications into your LlamaIndex vector store using this MCP Server for instant semantic search.

Index Live Underwriting Data in LlamaIndex

The `list_loan_applications` tool pulls historical application records directly into your LlamaIndex document store via MCP. Your agent indexes these records, transforming raw financial JSON into a searchable knowledge base of credit decisions. When you query past applications, LlamaIndex retrieves the exact match from your vector store instead of making redundant API calls. This reduces your dependency on external lookups while keeping your database current.

Ground Agent Decisions with Live Picklists

The `get_lendapi_picklists` tool provides the current metadata schema directly to your LlamaIndex query engine. This MCP Server integration ensures that your agent only uses valid, up-to-date loan parameters during index construction. By grounding your retrieval pipeline in actual system picklists, you avoid generating invalid application drafts. Your agent verifies field options locally against the indexed metadata before attempting to draft a profile.

Retrieve and Update Borrower Profiles Contextually

The `get_borrower_details` tool fetches complete profile information to enrich your retrieval-augmented generation pipelines. LlamaIndex uses this data to answer complex credit history queries with absolute precision. When a borrower updates their information, your agent calls `create_new_borrower` to write the changes back to the server. The index updates immediately, ensuring subsequent semantic searches reflect the latest credit profile.

Setup guide

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