How to Use the Mattermark MCP in LlamaIndex
Index startup intelligence from Mattermark into your RAG applications with LlamaIndex.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Mattermark MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Mattermark 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.
Semantic indexing of startup data
Turn `get_company_news` and `get_company_employees` results into searchable vectors. LlamaIndex stores this data so you can query it with natural language later. Build a knowledge base that grows with every API call. Your application stops being a simple wrapper and starts acting like a persistent research assistant.
Grounded AI responses
Force your agent to use `get_funding_round_details` as the source of truth. Your RAG app pulls exact figures instead of hallucinating valuations. Ground your insights in verified venture capital data. Your users get precise answers backed by the raw intelligence provided by the tools.
Query past research sessions
Index the results of your `search_companies` queries to build a history of your market scanning. You can ask your agent about companies you vetted last week. Keep your research organized in a vector store. The data stays fresh and accessible whenever you need to revisit a specific investment lead.
