Index Contact Details with MCP Server

When you use `zoho_get_contact`, the output—including name, department, and all custom fields—becomes part of your indexed knowledge base. This means you can query past data from Zoho CRM Contacts using semantic search. The developer builds RAG apps where live API calls to get contact details are combined with documents. You ask a question, and LlamaIndex grounds the answer in actual records.

Search Company Data via MCP Server

Calling `zoho_search_accounts` returns basic company data like name and industry. By indexing this output, you can query your knowledge base for 'Companies with high revenue in the tech space,' even if the exact search term wasn't used. If you need more depth, running `zoho_get_account` provides full details—including employee count and billing address—which are all candidates for inclusion in your unified index.

Map Relationships across Zoho CRM Contacts

The `zoho_related_records` tool fetches links, like contacts belonging to an account. By indexing the results of this function, you can semantically ask questions like 'Show me all people related to Account X who work in Finance.' This allows LlamaIndex to combine multiple data points—Contacts, Accounts, and Deals—into one searchable knowledge graph.
