Key Capabilities
Building Knowledge Bases with MCP Server
`get_document` pulls specific document details, which you can index into your vector store. This means if a user asks about an old payment policy, the answer is grounded in real API data. LlamaIndex then lets you query this live knowledge base, combining historical documents with current operational facts.
Querying Subscriptions with LlamaIndex
`list_subscriptions` provides a list of all active recurring plans. Indexing these results allows users to ask questions like, 'Which customers pay annually?' and get an answer based on the actual API data. The RAG application doesn't hallucinate; it points straight back to the relevant subscription record.
Tracking App Lifecycle via LlamaIndex
`list_applications` pulls all current verification applications. By indexing these, you create a searchable log of every client interaction. This lets your AI agent answer complex questions like, 'What documents were associated with the application opened last Tuesday?'
