Frequently asked questions
How can I see all cards belonging to a specific person?
Use the list_cards_by_user tool by providing the user's unique token. The agent will return a list of all physical and virtual cards associated with that account holder.
How do I add money to a user's card account?
You can use the create_gpa_order tool. You'll need the user token, the amount, currency code, and a funding source token to move funds into their General Purpose Account.
Is it possible to register a legal entity instead of an individual?
Yes, use the create_business tool to create a business entity. You can then retrieve its details using the get_business tool with the business token.
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 Marqeta 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.
