- Each tool provides a query parameter for searching
- Auto-generates tool names like get_information_index_name
- Supports optional --topK to limit results per tool
Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
LlamaCloud MCP ServerCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Configure the server in your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop, Windsurf, or Cursor) by adding an entry with command npx -y @llamaindex/mcp-server-llamacloud and passing --index, --description, and optionally --topK arguments for each index. Set the LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY environment variable to your API key.
Claude Desktop / Cursor
Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

A MCP server connecting to multiple managed indexes onLlamaCloud
This is a TypeScript-based MCP server that creates multiple tools, each connected to a specific managed index on LlamaCloud. Each tool is defined through command-line arguments.
- Creates a separate tool for each index you define
- Each tool provides aqueryparameter to search its specific index
- Auto-generates tool names likeget_information_index_namebased on index names
To use with your MCP Client (e.g. Claude Desktop, Windsurf or Cursor), add the following config to your MCP client config:
TheLLAMA_CLOUD_PROJECT_NAMEenvironment variable is optional and defaults toDefaultif not set.
{ "mcpServers": { "llamacloud": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@llamaindex/mcp-server-llamacloud", "--index", "10k-SEC-Tesla", "--description", "10k SEC documents from 2023 for Tesla", "--topK", "5", "--index", "10k-SEC-Apple", "--description", "10k SEC documents from 2023 for Apple" ], "env": { "LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>" } } } }
For Claude, the MCP config can be found at:
- On MacOS:~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- On Windows:%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
In theargsarray of the MCP config, you can define multiple tools by providing pairs of--indexand--descriptionarguments. Each pair defines a new tool. You can also optionally specify--topKto limit the number of results.
--index "10k-SEC-Tesla" --description "10k SEC documents from 2023 for Tesla" --topK 5
Adds a tool for the10k-SEC-TeslaLlamaCloud index to the MCP server. In this example, it's configured to return the top 5 results.
To use the development version, replace in your MCP confignpx @llamaindex/mcp-server-llamacloudwithnode ./build/index.js.
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using theMCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
