How to Use the Shoplazza MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: Can I use LlamaIndex to query past Shoplazza orders?

Yes. You run listshoplazzaorders and index those results. Later, you can ask the RAG system questions about specific order details or patterns without needing the original API call.

Q: Will the MCP Server help me understand Shoplazza inventory gaps using LlamaIndex?

You can index current product lists (listshoplazzaproducts) and then use your RAG application to compare that data against historical best-sellers, highlighting potential gaps.

Build RAG applications using Shoplazza data indexes for deep e-commerce insight with LlamaIndex.

Indexing Shoplazza Product Data

The `list_shoplazza_products` tool retrieves all available items. By passing this output to the indexer, you create a searchable knowledge base of your entire catalog. You can then query historical product descriptions and availability without making a live API call.

Advanced Customer Search with LlamaIndex

LlamaIndex allows you to ingest results from `list_shoplazza_customers`. This means your users don't just get a list; they can query the knowledge base and ask questions like, 'Which customers in London bought electronics last month?' based on indexed data.

Retrieving Shop Metadata via MCP Server

The `get_shoplazza_shop` tool fetches current store metadata. Indexing this allows you to build a knowledge graph of the shop's rules, policies, and status updates that your AI application can reference instantly for grounding.

Setup guide

Set up Shoplazza 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 Shoplazza 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 Shoplazza tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent Shoplazza data")
