Overview
What is Elasticsearch?
This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Elasticsearch clusters. It enables LLMs to manage indices and execute search queries by exposing tools and index mapping resources.
How to use Elasticsearch?
Add the server to the mcpServers section of your claude_desktop_config.json using the command npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-elasticsearch <url> (e.g., http://localhost:9200). A local Elasticsearch instance can be started with the provided Docker one‑liner docker run -d --name elasticsearch -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e "discovery.type=single-node" -e "xpack.security.enabled=false" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.11.3.
