How to Use the Tolstoy MCP in LlamaIndex
Index your video funnels: Query Tolstoy data using LlamaIndex and its MCP Server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Tolstoy MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Tolstoy 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.
Search Video Analytics Data
You can index performance metrics into a knowledge base for later recall. Running `get_video_analytics` captures the raw numbers, but by indexing that output, you create searchable insights. Later, your RAG application queries past trends and specific metric ranges rather than just viewing a dashboard.
Query Asset Metadata
Never forget where you stored something again. By running `list_videos` or `list_folders`, the output metadata gets indexed into your vector store. This means you can ask, 'What were the titles of videos in Folder X?' and get an answer grounded in that exact API data.
Track Project Configurations
LlamaIndex lets you save knowledge about complex setups. When you use `list_interactive_projects`, the resulting project structure is indexed. This allows your application to retrieve details of a specific funnel's setup from past sessions, which is much better than relying on memory.
