About LlamaIndex (AI Data Framework & RAG) MCP Server
Connect your LlamaIndex (LlamaCloud) account to any AI agent and take full control of your RAG data framework and semantic search orchestration through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple LlamaIndex (AI Data Framework & RAG) tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 6 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- RAG Orchestration — Execute structural natural language queries directly against your data pipelines to retrieve synthesized answers grounded in your source documents
- Index Visibility — List managed active indices wrapping your semantic stores and verify how your data is distributed across indexed databases
- File Audit — Retrieve explicit metadata for raw source files currently ingested by your pipelines to verify document tracking and ingestion limits
- Pipeline Management — List deployed data pipelines and retrieve detailed configurations including connected sources and embedding settings directly from your agent
- Project CRM — Navigate across high-level LlamaIndex projects managing collections of pipelines and queryable semantic search boundaries securely
- Real-time Synthesis — Use your agent to perform real-time RAG extraction, ensuring your AI workflows are powered by accurate, indexed enterprise knowledge
The LlamaIndex (AI Data Framework & RAG) MCP Server exposes 6 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
