How to Use the Together AI MCP in LlamaIndex
Build knowledge-augmented AI applications with LlamaIndex and Together AI.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Together AI MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Together AI 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.
Indexing API Results into Vector Stores
The `generate_embeddings` tool is key here. When you run it, the resulting vectors are perfect for indexing into a vector store. You can use this to build a knowledge base from live API data. This means your RAG application queries actual Together AI outputs, not just general documents. Query past sessions or configurations and get answers grounded in real data.
Semantic Search Using MCP Server
You can index the results of `chat_completion` into your knowledge base. Instead of losing conversation history, it becomes searchable context. Your agent builds a unified index combining live API data with static documents. This lets you query things like 'What were the model IDs we used last week?'
Managing Model Knowledge for Retrieval
Need to know what models are available? Run `list_available_models`. You can then index this metadata so that when a user asks about capabilities, your agent pulls the specific list from the knowledge base. This is useful for building robust documentation tools where model context is critical for retrieval.
