How to Use the TNZ Communications MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: How do I connect the TNZ Communications MCP Server to LlamaIndex?

Use the llama-index-tools-mcp package to initialize the BasicMCPClient. Convert it to a tool spec and pass it to your function agent to start calling TNZ tools.

Q: Can LlamaIndex use saved templates from TNZ Communications?

Yes. Your agent can query listmessagetemplates to retrieve pre-approved formats. LlamaIndex can then use these templates as context when generating outbound messages.

Q: How can I check the connection between LlamaIndex and the TNZ Communications MCP Server?

You can call checkapihealth during your agent's startup sequence. This confirms that the TNZ gateway is reachable before LlamaIndex attempts any messaging tasks.

Q: Can I manage individual contacts using this integration?

Absolutely. Your agent can fetch existing entries using listtnzcontacts or add new records with createtnzcontact. This keeps your index synchronized with your live address book.

Index live SMS replies, voice logs, and delivery metrics directly into your LlamaIndex knowledge base.

Index live communication data with LlamaIndex

LlamaIndex helps you ingest communication logs into your vector store for semantic search by executing `list_received_sms_replies` to pull incoming customer feedback. Your agent pulls incoming customer feedback and indexes it immediately, letting you query user sentiment without writing custom ETL pipelines. This turns transient SMS interactions into searchable knowledge. Your LlamaIndex application can trigger `send_sms_message` to reply to users, or use `send_tts_voice_call` to escalate urgent issues to a voice call.

Audit messaging history and costs

Track your operational metrics directly within your index using `get_messaging_usage_report`. LlamaIndex stores these financial summaries alongside your application data, making it easy to run natural language queries about your messaging spend. You can also keep an eye on your remaining budget by calling `get_account_balance`. This ensures your indexing agents stay informed of available funds before initiating high-volume outbound campaigns.

Verify delivery and manage contact groups

When sending business updates, your agent can monitor the pipeline using `get_message_delivery_status`. LlamaIndex logs these statuses, allowing you to build semantic indices of successful versus failed delivery paths. To organize your outreach, use `list_contact_groups` to categorize your audience segments. Your agent can query these groups to determine which contacts should receive specific updates, or even dispatch paper documents using `send_digital_fax`.

Setup guide

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