Python 3.10 or higher, a running Milvus instance (local or remote), and uv (recommended) installed. No additional server dependencies are required beyond those.

What Milvus version is required?

The server works with any standard Milvus instance. Note that the milvus_text_similarity_search tool requires Milvus 2.6.0 or above and an embedding function configured on the server.
