Build a searchable MobyGames index with LlamaIndex

LlamaIndex goes beyond simple API calls by turning MobyGames metadata into searchable documents. Your LlamaIndex agent calls `get_game_by_id` and `get_reviews`, then indexes that raw text directly into your vector store. The MCP integration grounds your LlamaIndex application in real MobyGames data. Instead of guessing release dates or review scores, the agent queries your local index first, only calling `search_games` when it needs to fetch fresh titles.

Query developer histories using this MCP Server

Combine MobyGames developer profiles with game credits to build a unified LlamaIndex knowledge graph. The system calls `get_developers` and `get_game_credits` to pull raw biographical and professional data, which LlamaIndex then indexes as node relationships. This means you can ask LlamaIndex complex questions about which programmers worked on specific platforms. Your query engine resolves the relationships locally, using `get_platforms` to verify console IDs before retrieving new MobyGames records.

Filter indexed MobyGames attributes dynamically

Keep your LlamaIndex vector index clean by resolving categories before you ingest MobyGames data. Your LlamaIndex pipeline calls `get_attributes` and `get_genres` to categorize games like open-world or free-to-play before they hit your vector store. By structuring your MobyGames metadata first, your LlamaIndex semantic searches become incredibly precise. You can filter your vector queries by specific genre IDs, ensuring your RAG application only returns highly relevant game profiles.

Setup guide

Set up MobyGames 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 MobyGames 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 MobyGames tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent MobyGames data")
