Frequently asked questions
How can I see which templates are available in my Bannerbear project?
You can use the list_templates tool. It will return a list of all templates associated with your API key, including their names and unique UIDs.
Can I generate a video using this integration?
Yes! Use the create_video tool by providing a video template UID and the necessary input data for the frames. The AI will handle the request and return the video details.
How do I check if my image has finished rendering?
Use the get_image tool with the image UID. It will return the current status (e.g., 'completed') and the public URL of the image once it is ready.
How does LlamaIndex connect to MCP servers?
Use the MCP client adapter to create a connection. LlamaIndex discovers all tools and wraps them as query engine tools compatible with any LlamaIndex agent.
Can I combine MCP tools with vector stores?
Yes. LlamaIndex agents can query Bannerbear (Image Gen) tools and vector store indexes in the same turn, combining real-time and embedded data for grounded responses.
Does LlamaIndex support async MCP calls?
Yes. LlamaIndex's async agent framework supports concurrent MCP tool calls for high-throughput data processing pipelines.
