Connect Mainstay (AdmitHub) MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Mainstay (AdmitHub) 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 active campaigns for semantic search
`list_campaigns` retrieves active outreach programs so LlamaIndex can index their goals and timelines into your document store. Your agent queries this index to find which campaigns match a student's current academic status. This setup connects raw campaign structures with your broader knowledge base. Instead of hardcoding rules, the agent performs semantic search over past campaigns to determine the best communication strategy.
Build RAG pipelines from student message logs
`list_messages` extracts the full history of student SMS exchanges to populate your local vector index. LlamaIndex uses these logs to provide context-rich answers about a student's past hurdles or complaints. Your query engine searches these historical text blocks to identify recurring friction points. This keeps your agent's responses grounded in actual conversation history, preventing hallucinations during student support sessions.
Query custom fields via the LlamaIndex MCP Server
`list_custom_fields` defines the schema of your student database, allowing LlamaIndex to structure its queries accurately. The agent reads these definitions to understand what metadata is available before pulling records. By combining this with `get_contact_details`, your index stays updated with the latest enrollment variables. Your agent queries this structured data to filter search results based on specific student attributes.
