About Vald MCP Server
Connect your Vald cluster to any AI agent and bring distributed, high-speed approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) vector search directly to your conversational workflow.
LlamaIndex agents combine Vald tool responses with indexed documents for comprehensive, grounded answers. Connect 6 tools through the Vinkius and query live data alongside vector stores and SQL databases in a single turn — ideal for hybrid search, data enrichment, and analytical workflows.
What you can do
- Vector Search — Perform rapid semantic searches across millions of embedded data points just by querying the agent.
- Data Ingestion — Insert new high-dimensional vectors directly into the Vald index for instant future retrievability in your RAG pipelines.
- Index Management — Update the vector representations of existing records or permanently remove specific items from the engine cluster.
- Cluster Health — Automatically retrieve operational system information, agent health statuses, and node details regarding your active Vald deployment.
The Vald MCP Server exposes 6 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to LlamaIndex in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use LlamaIndex with the Vald MCP Server
LlamaIndex provides unique advantages when paired with Vald through the Model Context Protocol.
Data-first architecture: LlamaIndex agents combine Vald tool responses with indexed documents for comprehensive, grounded answers
Query pipeline framework lets you chain Vald tool calls with transformations, filters, and re-rankers in a typed pipeline
Multi-source reasoning: agents can query Vald, a vector store, and a SQL database in a single turn and synthesize results
Observability integrations show exactly what Vald tools were called, what data was returned, and how it influenced the final answer
Vald + LlamaIndex Use Cases
Practical scenarios where LlamaIndex combined with the Vald MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Hybrid search: combine Vald real-time data with embedded document indexes for answers that are both current and comprehensive
Data enrichment: query Vald to augment indexed data with live information before generating user-facing responses
Knowledge base agents: build agents that maintain and update knowledge bases by periodically querying Vald for fresh data
Analytical workflows: chain Vald queries with LlamaIndex's data connectors to build multi-source analytical reports
Vald MCP Tools for LlamaIndex (6)
These 6 tools become available when you connect Vald to LlamaIndex via MCP:
delete_vector
This action is irreversible. Permanently removes a vector from the Vald index
get_engine_info
Retrieves operational information and health of the Vald engine
get_vector_details
Retrieves the raw vector data for a specific ID
insert_vector
Provide a unique ID and the vector as a JSON array. Inserts a new vector into the Vald index
search_vectors
Provide a query vector as a JSON array of floats. Performs a nearest neighbor vector similarity search
update_vector
Provide the existing ID and new vector array. Updates an existing vector in the Vald index
Example Prompts for Vald in LlamaIndex
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your LlamaIndex agent to start working with Vald immediately.
"Is the Vald cluster operational right now?"
"Can you check the vector details stored for UUID 'user-profile-89'?"
"Update the existing item 'context-fragment-12' with this new 1536-dimensional array: [0.38, -0.19, 0...]."
