Use LlamaIndex agent tools as MCP tools

We have dozens of agent tools in LlamaHub and they can all be instantly used as MCP tools! This notebook shows how exactly that’s done, using the Notion Tool as an example.

First we install our tool, and our MCP server:

!pip install llama-index-tools-notion mcp fastmcp

Bring in our dependencies:

# Import dependencies for Model Context Protocol (MCP) fastMCP server
from typing import Any, Dict, List, Optional
from fastmcp import FastMCP

print("MCP fastMCP server dependencies imported successfully!")

MCP fastMCP server dependencies imported successfully!

Instantiate our tools using an API key:

# Import and configure LlamaIndex Notion Tool Spec
from llama_index.tools.notion import NotionToolSpec

notion_token = "xxxx"
tool_spec = NotionToolSpec(integration_token=notion_token)

Let’s see what tools are available:

tools = tool_spec.to_tool_list()

for i, tool in enumerate(tools):
    print(f"Tool {i+1}: {tool.metadata.name}")

Tool 1: load_data
Tool 2: search_data

Now we create and configure the fastMCP server, and register each tool:

mcp_server = FastMCP("MCP Agent Tools Server")

# Register the tools from the Notion ToolSpec
for tool in tools:
    mcp_server.tool(
        name=tool.metadata.name, description=tool.metadata.description
    )(tool.real_fn)

MCP Server configured with tools

Now we can run our MCP server complete with our tools!

await mcp_server.run_async(transport="streamable-http")
