How do I use LlamaIndex with Claude?

You connect this MCP to Claude via Vinkius. Once connected, you can use natural language to query your LlamaCloud pipelines directly in the Claude interface.

Do I need to write Python code to query my data?

No. This MCP allows your AI agent to execute queries and manage pipelines through conversation, removing the need for manual coding.

Can I see which files are in my pipeline?

Yes. You can ask your agent to list the raw source files currently ingested by any specific pipeline.

What is the main purpose of this MCP?

It gives your AI client the ability to orchestrate RAG pipelines, manage LlamaCloud projects, and audit semantic indices.

Is my LlamaCloud data secure?

Yes. The MCP uses your LlamaCloud API credentials to securely interact with your existing enterprise data framework.

Can I query my indexed documents using natural language through my agent?

Yes. Use the query_pipeline capability by providing the Pipeline ID and your natural language question. Your agent will trigger a real-time RAG extraction and return a synthesized answer based on the relevant source documents found in the index.

How do I check which files have been successfully ingested into a pipeline?

The list_files capability allows your agent to retrieve explicit metadata for all physical documents attached to a pipeline. This is perfect for auditing your data source boundaries and ensuring all required documents are correctly indexed.

Can my agent manage multiple semantic indices?

Absolutely. Use the list_indexes capability to see all active semantic stores managed by LlamaCloud. Your agent will report the index names and types, making it easy to identify the correct target for your search or ingestion workflows.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Rapid Prototyping

Test how your RAG pipeline responds to different queries without redeploying code.

Data Integrity Checks

Verify that all expected source files have been successfully ingested into your index.

Pipeline Monitoring

Check the configuration and status of multiple deployed pipelines through a single chat interface.

Knowledge Retrieval

Perform real-time extraction of information from enterprise documents using your agent.

Automate a task

Put LlamaIndex to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

LlamaIndex works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put LlamaIndex to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 6 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of LlamaIndex, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with LlamaIndex. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
