How to Use the Zoho Notebook MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: How do I retrieve old Zoho Notebook data using LlamaIndex?

You first use the MCP Server tools like listnotebooks to get IDs. Then, you index those results into your vector store. Your RAG application queries the index for answers from past sessions.

Q: Can LlamaIndex track changes made in Zoho Notebook?

Yes. If you call updatenotecard, that change is captured and indexed. This allows you to query not just the current state, but the history of modifications too.

Q: What about listing notes using Zoho Notebook and LlamaIndex?

You use listnotebooks and pass those results into your indexer. This makes every single notebook ID searchable, letting you ask questions across your entire collection.

Q: Does the MCP Server help manage Zoho Notebook with LlamaIndex?

It does. The MCP Server exposes all functions—including deletenotebook and getnotecard—as tools. LlamaIndex then consumes these tool outputs to build its knowledge graph.

Building searchable note indexes

LlamaIndex takes the output from `list_notecards` and turns it into a vector store. This means you can query past data—like old notes—and get answers grounded in actual Zoho Notebook API results, not just general knowledge. The tool output becomes part of your searchable index base. You're building RAG applications that answer questions based on the specifics of your note collection.

Querying structured notes by ID

If you use `get_notebook` or `get_notecard`, LlamaIndex indexes those specific details. You can then query historical sessions and ask, 'What was the title of the notebook created on X date?' and get a precise answer. The indexing process makes API data as useful as document text, unifying your knowledge sources.

Creating persistent note records

When you call `create_notebook` or `create_notecard`, the resulting structured record gets indexed. This keeps a living history of all your content creation actions. The developer can query this index later to reconstruct complex timelines, knowing exactly when and how notes were initially captured.

Setup guide

Set up Zoho Notebook MCP in LlamaIndex

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 Zoho Notebook 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 Zoho Notebook tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent Zoho Notebook data")
