Index project data for semantic search

LlamaIndex takes the output from `list_organization_portfolios` and `get_project_details` to build a searchable knowledge base. You can query your project history using natural language, and the agent retrieves answers grounded in actual task data. This moves beyond simple keyword matching. By indexing your workspace, your AI client understands the relationships between different milestones and tasks across your entire organization.

Ground your AI with live project context

When you ask questions about project status, LlamaIndex pulls the latest state from the server. It uses `get_task_info` to provide accurate, up-to-the-minute details rather than relying on outdated training data. You avoid hallucinations by forcing the AI to reference your live board state. Every answer is backed by real-time data pulled through the MCP interface.

Automate RAG with project milestones

Build RAG applications that combine internal documents with live task lists. You can ingest `list_project_milestones` data to create a timeline index that informs your AI's planning capabilities. This setup bridges the gap between static documents and dynamic project management. Your agent stays informed about shifting deadlines and completed work, providing context-aware responses every time.

Setup guide

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