How to Use the Turso MCP in LlamaIndex
Index live API data and manage distributed databases with LlamaIndex.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Turso MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Turso 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.
Build Queryable DB Indices
The `list_databases` tool allows your agent to enumerate the complete libSQL Edge Database registry. This output is perfect for indexing because it provides factual, structured data about all available database endpoints. You'll combine this live API data with your internal documents into a unified index, so you can query past configurations and get answers grounded in real results.
Audit DB Locations
To map physical locations, the agent calls `list_edge_locations`, looking up global Fly.io datacenter mappings. This geographical data is highly searchable for RAG applications that need to know where their data actually resides. Similarly, you can use `list_database_groups` to index Turso's logical groups, helping your knowledge base understand the organizational structure of your data sources.
Manage DB Credentials in RAG
Need to know which tokens are active? Use `list_database_tokens` to list current execution JWT Tokens. Indexing this metadata means you can query, 'Which database has an expired token?' and get a direct answer. For setting up new access, the agent uses `create_database_token`, and that output can be immediately logged into your searchable knowledge base.
