Index Plasmic CMS Data for RAG

The Plasmic MCP Server connects your visual content directly to your LlamaIndex vector store. Your agent uses `query_cms_items` to extract all marketing copy, blog posts, and product descriptions from the headless backend. LlamaIndex embeds these text fields and makes them semantically searchable. When users ask questions about your site's content, the agent retrieves the exact text blocks rather than guessing.

Query Component Architectures

You can index the actual structure of your UI by pulling the element tree with `get_model`. The agent converts the SDUI JSON into document nodes, capturing how headers, grids, and buttons relate to each other. Developers can then run natural language queries against the design system. If someone asks which pages use a specific button variant, LlamaIndex searches the embedded JSON nodes and returns the exact locations.

Sync Live HTML to Knowledge Bases

RAG applications stay current by using the `render_html` tool to fetch the final generated markup of your pages. Your LlamaIndex pipeline scrapes this markup, strips the tags, and updates its document index with the visible text. When content editors change a layout, you trigger a refresh workflow. The agent runs `count_cms_items` to detect new additions, fetches the updated HTML, and re-indexes the new pages automatically.

Setup guide

Set up Plasmic (Visual Headless Page Builder) MCP in LlamaIndex

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
llama-index-tools-mcp package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install llama-index-tools-mcp llama-index-llms-openai. The MCP tools package provides BasicMCPClient and McpToolSpec.
2

Connect with BasicMCPClient
Point BasicMCPClient to your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. Supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports.
3

Convert to LlamaIndex tools
Call mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async() to convert all Plasmic (Visual Headless Page Builder) MCP tools into native FunctionTool objects that any LlamaIndex agent can use.
4

Run with any LLM
Create a FunctionAgent with the tools and your preferred LLM. Swap OpenAI for Anthropic, Gemini, or any LlamaIndex-supported provider.

agent.py

from llama_index.tools.mcp import BasicMCPClient, McpToolSpec
from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import FunctionAgent
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

# Connect to the MCP
mcp_client = BasicMCPClient(
    "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)
mcp_tool_spec = McpToolSpec(client=mcp_client)

# Convert MCP tools to LlamaIndex tools
tools = await mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async()

# Create and run the agent
agent = FunctionAgent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=OpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
    system_prompt="You have access to Plasmic (Visual Headless Page Builder) tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent Plasmic (Visual Headless Page Builder) data")

Common questions about Plasmic (Visual Headless Page Builder) MCP in LlamaIndex

Install `llama-index-tools-mcp` and configure a `BasicMCPClient` with your Vinkius URL. Wrap it in `McpToolSpec` and call `to_tool_list_async()` to feed the tools to your FunctionAgent.

Yes. While LlamaIndex excels at reading data, agents can also execute `update_cms_item` or `create_cms_item` if they determine the indexed information is outdated.

That logic happens on your end. You pass specific filter parameters into `query_cms_items` to fetch only published or relevant items before LlamaIndex embeds them.

Absolutely. The MCP tools just fetch the raw strings and JSON from Plasmic. Your application handles embedding and storing that data in whatever vector database you choose.

Your SDUI JSON models and component markup pass through a zero-trust Vinkius container. The system authenticates via a single endpoint token and never stores your page structures at rest.
