Vectorize weather data in LlamaIndex

Turn raw station output into searchable knowledge. Use `get_observation_history` to build a repository of past conditions that your agent can query later. Your RAG application retrieves historical trends rather than just current snapshots. It provides context for long-term weather analysis.

Ground LLM responses with NOAA Observations — US Current Conditions

Prevent hallucinations by forcing your agent to look up metadata first. Use `get_station_metadata` to confirm station locations before trusting the reported weather. Your agent checks the data source before generating a summary. This keeps your answers grounded in verified government records.

Query historical weather with LlamaIndex

Build a searchable index of weather events for your specific region of interest. Use `get_radar_stations` to map out your coverage area within your vector database. Your agent searches through the index to answer questions about past weather patterns. It performs semantic lookups on the data returned by the server.

Setup guide

Set up NOAA Observations — US Current Conditions 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 NOAA Observations — US Current Conditions 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 NOAA Observations — US Current Conditions tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent NOAA Observations — US Current Conditions data")
