How to Use the Ninox MCP in LlamaIndex
Build a searchable knowledge base from your relational tables by indexing Ninox data with LlamaIndex.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Ninox MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Ninox to LlamaIndex and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Index schemas into LlamaIndex vector stores
The `get_database_schema` tool exposes your schema, allowing the MCP Server to deliver structured metadata to LlamaIndex. This allows the agent to build a semantic index of your database layout, making schema discovery highly accurate. Instead of guessing table structures, your agent queries this vector index. It learns exactly where to find records before calling tools like `list_records` to pull the actual data.
Ground RAG applications in live Ninox records
The `list_records` tool extracts raw data directly from your tables to ground your agent's answers in real-time facts. LlamaIndex indexes these records on the fly, eliminating LLM hallucinations. If a user asks about an order status, the agent pulls the record using `get_record`. It inserts the retrieved fields straight into the response context, keeping your customer support responses completely accurate.
Update your database via LlamaIndex MCP Server actions
The `update_record` tool writes structural changes and updates directly back to your Ninox tables based on agent decisions. This turns your static knowledge retriever into an active read-write pipeline. When the agent identifies discrepancies in your vector index, it uses `create_records` to resolve them. You get a self-correcting database that stays in sync with your business documents.
