Index scraped data with LlamaIndex

The `scrape_url` tool extracts structured OpenGraph metadata from a URL, which you can then index using LlamaIndex. This makes titles, descriptions, and images part of your searchable knowledge base for semantic retrieval. You're building RAG applications where live API data is combined with historical records into one unified index.

Query link data with LlamaIndex

Stop relying on memory or fixed documents. With LlamaIndex, the output from `scrape_url` becomes part of your searchable knowledge base. You can query past scraping sessions to ground answers in actual metadata, not general knowledge. This means your AI client gets facts grounded in verifiable link data.

Combining real-time data into LlamaIndex

Build RAG applications that combine traditional documents with fresh API data. The `scrape_url` tool feeds current link metadata (like descriptions) directly into your unified, queryable index structure. You get a complete picture of both written content and linked resources.

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(
