Connect Tomorrow.io Plus MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Tomorrow.io Plus 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 Alerts and Events in LlamaIndex
Don't just call the tools—index them. You can run `list_alerts` or `list_events` to pull structured warnings. These outputs become part of your searchable knowledge base. When a user asks about 'recent severe weather,' the index retrieves both documents and these live API findings, grounding the answer in actual data.
Retrieving Forecast Data for RAG Applications
Forecasting is key. Use `get_forecast_weather` to pull daily or hourly projections. LlamaIndex then indexes this time-series data alongside your operational documents. This lets you query historical weather reports and combine them with internal manuals, giving answers that are both contextual and factually accurate.
Querying Location Metadata via MCP Server
Need context about where the data comes from? Use `list_locations` or `list_insights`. These tools pull metadata defining available areas and insight categories. By indexing this structure, your LlamaIndex RAG application can answer questions like, 'What insight categories are available for the Denver area?'
