How to Use the MDIC (Comércio Exterior) MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: Can I query MDIC (Comércio Exterior) live databases using LlamaIndex?

Yes. The searchdatastore tool allows your LlamaIndex agent to run SQL-like queries directly on the live government datastore, returning structured data for immediate indexing or response generation.

Q: How does LlamaIndex handle metadata updates from MDIC (Comércio Exterior)?

Your agent can run getpackage periodically to check for updates. If the metadata shows a new release, LlamaIndex can trigger a re-indexing pipeline for that specific resource.

Index Brazilian trade statistics directly into your LlamaIndex vector store for semantic search.

Index MDIC data directly into LlamaIndex

The `get_resource` tool fetches raw trade data files directly, allowing your agent to ingest them into document nodes. LlamaIndex then parses and indexes these nodes for semantic search. This means you can query your local knowledge base about Brazilian imports without hitting the live government API for every single question. It saves bandwidth and speeds up response times significantly.

Query the trade datastore directly

The `search_datastore` tool executes precise queries against the live MDIC database to pull specific trade metrics. Your agent can extract exact export values for a given commodity code. Instead of indexing entire massive spreadsheets, you only index the highly relevant query results. It keeps your vector index clean and prevents retrieval noise during RAG tasks.

Search and catalog trade packages

The `search_packages` and `list_packages` tools locate relevant datasets across the entire Brazilian trade registry. Your agent can run these searches to find new data releases automatically. This MCP Server automates the entire data discovery and ingestion pipeline. Once found, `get_package` retrieves the metadata so your agent can decide if the dataset belongs in your index.

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 MDIC (Comércio Exterior) 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 MDIC (Comércio Exterior) tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent MDIC (Comércio Exterior) data")
