How to Use the Shopline MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: How does LlamaIndex use Shopline data to improve search?

LlamaIndex takes raw API calls—like getorderdetails—and turns them into searchable text chunks. When you ask a question, it finds the most relevant pieces of information from your actual Shopify transaction logs.

Q: Does this MCP Server help Shopline with listing management?

Yes. You can index results from listproducts and use that knowledge base to answer complex questions about your entire catalog, which is much better than just reading the list.

Q: Is the data retrieved by LlamaIndex accurate for Shopline?

Yes. Because it indexes the direct output of tools like listcustomers, every answer you get is grounded in verifiable API responses, not generated guesses or hallucinations.

Index Shopline data into a knowledge base with LlamaIndex for powerful retrieval-augmented querying.

Product Data Indexing

Need to search past product specifications? Run `get_product_details` and index the results. Later, you can query that index semantically—you ask a question about material compatibility, not just 'search for product XYZ.' The answers are grounded in your live API data.

Order History Search

Don't rely on memory. Call `list_orders` and index the full list of orders into LlamaIndex. You can then query that knowledge base to find answers like, 'What were the total shipments in Q3?' without writing complex SQL.

Store Structure Querying

Want to know how collections relate to products? Index the output from `list_collections` and `list_products`. This lets your RAG application answer questions like, 'Which product is in both the Spring Collection and the Outdoor Gear category?'

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

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 Shopline tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent Shopline data")
