Hi there, Llama Lovers! 🦙

Welcome to this week's edition of the LlamaIndex newsletter! We have some exciting updates, including our recent sponsorship of the Agents & MCP Hackathon, new features in LlamaCloud, and insights into the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Dive into this week's highlights and community contributions!

🤩 The Highlights:

• Build a Multi-Agent System with MCP: Check out @microsoft's new AI Travel Agents demo showcasing how to coordinate multiple AI agents using the Model Context Protocol, LlamaIndex.TS, and @Azure AI Foundry for complex travel planning scenarios. Read the full technical breakdown.
• Does MCP Kill the Need for Vector Search? Explore how the MCP protocol creates new possibilities for agents to connect directly to data sources while still requiring preprocessing and indexing for unstructured data. Read our full analysis.
• Build Agent-Powered Frontends with AG-UI Integration: Discover how to create agent-powered frontends with zero boilerplate using our new AG-UI integration with @copilotkit. Get started here.

🗺️ LlamaCloud & LlamaParse:

• LlamaCloud in Action: Watch LlamaCloud in action with MCP to Claude Desktop, where we connected LlamaExtract as a local MCP tool to generate reports from financial documents. Learn more.
