Overview

What is Milvus?

MCP Server for Milvus provides access to the Milvus vector database through the Model Context Protocol. It enables LLM applications like Claude Desktop and Cursor to search, manage, and query vector data using natural language or programmed instructions.

How to use Milvus?

Run the server directly with uv via uv run src/mcp_server_milvus/server.py --milvus-uri http://localhost:19530. Configure it as an MCP server in Claude Desktop or Cursor by specifying the command and arguments. Alternatively, set environment variables MILVUS_URI, MILVUS_TOKEN, and MILVUS_DB.

Key features of Milvus

  • Full-text search on collections with drop ratio control
  • Vector similarity search (COSINE, L2, IP metrics)
  • Hybrid search combining vector and attribute filtering
  • Collection management: create, load, release, list, info
  • Data operations: insert, bulk insert, upsert, delete
  • Index creation and index info retrieval

Use cases of Milvus

  • Searching documents in a collection using natural language via Claude Desktop
  • Performing vector similarity searches for recommendation or retrieval systems
  • Managing Milvus collections and schemas directly from Cursor Composer
  • Inserting and updating data in Milvus through an AI assistant
