Frequently asked questions
Can I convert currencies using rates from a specific past date?
Yes. Use the convert_currency tool and provide the date parameter in YYYY-MM-DD format to perform historical conversions.
How do I limit the results to only specific currencies?
When using get_latest_rates or get_historical_rates, use the symbols parameter to provide a comma-separated list of currency codes (e.g., 'EUR,GBP,JPY').
What is the maximum range for time-series data?
The get_timeseries tool typically supports a range of up to 365 days between the start_date and end_date parameters.
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 CurrencyBeacon 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.
