Frequently asked questions
How do I retrieve a list of all countries with specific data points?
Use the get_all_countries tool. You must provide a comma-separated list in the fields parameter (e.g., 'name,capital,population') to specify exactly which information you want to receive.
Can I find countries based on the currency they use?
Yes! Use the search_by_currency tool and provide the currency name or code (like 'euro' or 'USD'). The agent will return all countries where that currency is legal tender.
Is it possible to filter countries by their geographic region?
Absolutely. Use the filter_by_region tool with values like 'Europe', 'Americas', 'Asia', 'Africa', or 'Oceania' to get a list of countries in that specific part of the world.
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 REST Countries Alternative tools and vector store indexes in the same turn, combining real-time and embedded data for grounded responses.
Does LlamaIndex support async MCP calls?
