Connect Twelve Data MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Twelve Data 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.
Create a searchable index of market data with LlamaIndex.
The `get_company_profile` tool provides company fundamentals that can be indexed for semantic search. Instead of just calling it, you feed the output into your vector store, allowing you to query historical business context later. Later on, if a user asks about 'tech stocks with high revenue growth,' LlamaIndex searches the index created from `get_company_profile` results, grounding the answer in actual Twelve Data data.
Analyze technical indicators using LlamaIndex.
When you pull historical data using `get_time_series`, that output becomes part of your searchable knowledge base. You can then query this index to ask questions like, 'Which stocks listed in the index had an RSI value above 70 last month?' This is powerful because it lets you combine raw indicator values (like those from `get_stochastic`) with document context for deep analysis.
Manage crypto and forex data via LlamaIndex.
List available pairs first using `get_crypto_list` or `get_forex_list`. The resulting list of symbols can then be indexed. This allows you to build a knowledge base that answers questions like, 'What are the most frequently traded crypto pairs?' LlamaIndex stores this structured metadata so your agent doesn't just execute the call, but understands the scope and relationships between different financial instruments.
