How to Use the Uber MCP in LlamaIndex
Turn Uber API results into knowledge graphs with LlamaIndex.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Uber MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Uber 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.
Creating a Knowledge Base from MCP Server
LlamaIndex lets you index live data. When your agent calls `get_trip_history`, the full details—like product used, distance, and price for that specific trip date—become searchable knowledge. You can then query past sessions to answer questions grounded in actual API output.
Understanding Availability via MCP Server
Want to know what ride options are available at a new spot? Use `get_products` and index those results. Your RAG application can then take that indexed list of product IDs, capacities, and descriptions and answer complex questions like, 'What's the largest vehicle available near my current location?'
Managing Saved Places for Uber
You don't have to just read saved places; you can search them. Indexing results from `get_saved_places` means your knowledge base knows not only the alias and address, but also how that location relates to other stored data or documents.
