Frequently asked questions
How do I find the specific ID for a county to get its rent data?
First, use the list_states tool to get the state code, then use list_counties with that code. This will provide you with the 10-digit FIPS code (entity ID) needed for the get_fmr_data tool.
Can I retrieve rent data for an entire state at once?
Yes! Use the get_state_fmr_data tool and provide the two-letter state code (e.g., 'NY' for New York). It will return FMR data for all metro areas and counties within that state.
What is the difference between IL and MTSP data?
IL data (get_il_data) refers to general Income Limits for housing assistance, while MTSP data (get_mtsp_il_data) specifically targets Multifamily Tax Subsidy Projects. Both can be queried using the same entity IDs.
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 HUD Fair Market Rents 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.
