Index MENU TIGER data using LlamaIndex

Stop guessing what is on your digital menu. This MCP Server lets LlamaIndex fetch live menu structures using `get_menu` and index them directly into your vector store. Your agent can then answer complex questions about your offerings without hallucinating prices or ingredients. By indexing the output of `list_items`, you create a queryable knowledge base of your entire culinary catalog. When a customer asks for gluten-free options, the index matches the query against actual data retrieved from `get_item`.

Analyze order trends using LlamaIndex

Use your agent to spot ordering patterns over time. By pulling past transaction records with `list_orders` and indexing the results, your system can identify which dishes sell best during weekend rushes. The agent uses `get_order` to pull specific ticket histories, feeding that structured data directly into your analytical index. This makes it easy to track kitchen performance without exporting CSVs.

Organize restaurant structures with this MCP Server

Keep your restaurant organization clean by indexing your layout. The agent runs `list_categories` and `list_menus` to map out exactly how your dishes are grouped on the physical tables. This mapping helps the LlamaIndex agent route customer inquiries to the correct menu section. It can verify system status using `check_menutiger_status` to ensure the live index matches the active physical menu.

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 MENU TIGER tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent MENU TIGER data")
