How to Use the UK Legislation MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: Can LlamaIndex summarize complex sections of UK Legislation?

Yes. After retrieving specific content using getsection, LlamaIndex's ability to synthesize knowledge allows it to generate summaries grounded in that official text, making the data much more digestible.

Q: What is the best way to query historical UK Legislation with LlamaIndex?

The best approach is to use getlegislationbyyear and index those results. This creates a time-series knowledge base, letting you compare rules across different years easily.

Q: Does this MCP Server support cross-document queries for UK Legislation with LlamaIndex?

It does. By indexing the output of searchlegislation, you can ask one question that requires knowledge from multiple acts or statutory instruments simultaneously.

Building RAG Applications with LlamaIndex and MCP Server

The `search_legislation` tool output doesn't just appear in a chat window; LlamaIndex indexes it into your vector store. This means you can query past results or combine them with internal documents later. When you ask a question, the system searches both the index *and* the live API data simultaneously. You get answers grounded in actual UK legislation.

Tracking Legislative History for LlamaIndex

If you want to know what was active in 2015 versus 2020, use `get_legislation_by_year`. LlamaIndex indexes these results, allowing you to query historical comparisons semantically. This capability lets you ask things like: 'How did the tax law change between 2015 and 2020?' and get a synthesized answer.

Advanced Querying using LlamaIndex MCP Server

Start with `search_by_subject` to gather all relevant documents. The output from this initial query feeds into the index, creating a rich knowledge base for follow-up questions. The system can then use tools like `get_section` on demand while keeping all context within the searchable vector store.

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
llama-index-tools-mcp package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install llama-index-tools-mcp llama-index-llms-openai. The MCP tools package provides BasicMCPClient and McpToolSpec.
2

Connect with BasicMCPClient
Point BasicMCPClient to your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. Supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports.
3

Convert to LlamaIndex tools
Call mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async() to convert all UK Legislation MCP tools into native FunctionTool objects that any LlamaIndex agent can use.
4

Run with any LLM
Create a FunctionAgent with the tools and your preferred LLM. Swap OpenAI for Anthropic, Gemini, or any LlamaIndex-supported provider.

agent.py

from llama_index.tools.mcp import BasicMCPClient, McpToolSpec
from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import FunctionAgent
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

# Connect to the MCP
mcp_client = BasicMCPClient(
    "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)
mcp_tool_spec = McpToolSpec(client=mcp_client)

# Convert MCP tools to LlamaIndex tools
tools = await mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async()

# Create and run the agent
agent = FunctionAgent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=OpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
    system_prompt="You have access to UK Legislation tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent UK Legislation data")
