How to Use the Missive MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: Can LlamaIndex index live emails from my Missive inbox?

Yes, your agent can call listconversations to fetch recent threads and index the text from listmessages into your vector database. This keeps your search index updated with live conversation data.

Q: Can I filter which Missive tools are available to LlamaIndex?

Yes, you can use the allowedtools filter in LlamaIndex to restrict your agent. For example, you can allow it to read threads using listmessages but block it from sending emails with senddraft.

Index your Missive shared inbox directly into LlamaIndex vector stores to run semantic search over team conversations.

Semantic Search Over Missive Conversations

`list_conversations` retrieves your team's historical emails so LlamaIndex can index them into a vector store for semantic search. Your agent can query this vector store to find resolutions to past customer issues by calling `list_messages` on relevant threads. This transforms your raw inbox into a searchable knowledge base. Instead of matching exact keywords, your agent uses semantic search to find relevant context before calling `create_draft` to write a reply.

Context-Grounded Drafts with LlamaIndex MCP Server

`list_contacts` fetches customer context so your LlamaIndex agent can ground its drafts in real CRM data. The agent uses `get_conversation` to fetch the exact context of a thread, matching it against internal documents indexed in LlamaIndex. Once the agent finds the right information, it calls `create_draft` to write a highly accurate email. This prevents the agent from hallucinating details, keeping your customer communication precise and professional.

RAG-Powered Team Collaboration

`get_conversation` retrieves team comments and messages so LlamaIndex can index internal discussions alongside external files. This makes internal team decisions fully searchable by your retrieval-augmented generation pipelines. If an agent needs to update the team, it uses `create_post` to leave a comment with the retrieved facts. This brings the power of retrieval-augmented generation directly into your shared inbox.

Setup guide

Set up Missive MCP in LlamaIndex

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