# Elasticsearch/OpenSearch MCP Server [](https://mseep.ai/app/cr7258-elasticsearch-mcp-server) [](https://archestra.ai/mcp-catalog/cr7258__elasticsearch-mcp-server) ## Overview A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that provides Elasticsearch and OpenSearch interaction. This server enables searching documents, analyzing indices, and managing cluster through a set of tools. <a href="https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/b3po3delex"><img width="380" height="200" src="https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/b3po3delex/badge" alt="Elasticsearch MCP Server" /></a> ## Demo https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f7409e31-fac4-4321-9c94-b0ff2ea7ff15 ## Features ### General Operations - `general_api_request`: Perform a general HTTP API request. Use this tool for any Elasticsearch/OpenSearch API that does not have a dedicated tool. ### Index Operations - `list_indices`: List all indices. - `get_index`: Returns information (mappings, settings, aliases) about one or more indices. - `create_index`: Create a new index. - `delete_index`: Delete an index. ### Document Operations - `search_documents`: Search for documents. - `index_document`: Creates or updates a document in the index. - `get_document`: Get a document by ID. - `delete_document`: Delete a document by ID. - `delete_by_query`: Deletes documents matching the provided query. ### Cluster Operations - `get_cluster_health`: Returns basic information about the health of the cluster. - `get_cluster_stats`: Returns high-level overview of cluster statistics. ### Alias Operations - `list_aliases`: List all aliases. - `get_alias`: Get alias information for a specific index. - `put_alias`: Create or update an alias for a specific index. - `delete_alias`: Delete an alias for a specific index. ## Configure Environment Variables The MCP server supports the following environment variables for authentication: ### Basic Authentication (Username/Password) - `ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME`: Username for basic authentication - `ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD`: Password for basic authentication - `OPENSEARCH_USERNAME`: Username for OpenSearch basic authentication - `OPENSEARCH_PASSWORD`: Password for OpenSearch basic authentication ### API Key Authentication (Elasticsearch only) - Recommended - `ELASTICSEARCH_API_KEY`: API key for [Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/api-keys/elasticsearch-api-keys) or [Elastic Cloud](https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/api-keys/elastic-cloud-api-keys) Authentication. ### Other Configuration - `ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS` / `OPENSEARCH_HOSTS`: Comma-separated list of hosts (default: `https://localhost:9200`) - `ELASTICSEARCH_VERIFY_CERTS` / `OPENSEARCH_VERIFY_CERTS`: Whether to verify SSL certificates (default: `false`) ## Start Elasticsearch/OpenSearch Cluster Start the Elasticsearch/OpenSearch cluster using Docker Compose: ```bash # For Elasticsearch docker-compose -f docker-compose-elasticsearch.yml up -d # For OpenSearch docker-compose -f docker-compose-opensearch.yml up -d ``` The default Elasticsearch username is `elastic` and password is `test123`. The default OpenSearch username is `admin` and password is `admin`. You can access Kibana/OpenSearch Dashboards from http://localhost:5601. ## Stdio ### Option 1: Using uvx Using `uvx` will automatically install the package from PyPI, no need to clone the repository locally. Add the following configuration to 's config file `claude_desktop_config.json`. ```json // For Elasticsearch with username/password { "mcpServers": { "elasticsearch-mcp-server": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "elasticsearch-mcp-server" ], "env": { "ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS": "https://localhost:9200", "ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME": "elastic", "ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD": "test123" } } } } // For Elasticsearch with API key { "mcpServers": { "elasticsearch-mcp-server": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "elasticsearch-mcp-server" ], "env": { "ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS": "https://localhost:9200", "ELASTICSEARCH_API_KEY": "<YOUR_ELASTICSEARCH_API_KEY>" } } } } // For OpenSearch { "mcpServers": { "opensearch-mcp-server": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "opensearch-mcp-server" ], "env": { "OPENSEARCH_HOSTS": "https://localhost:9200", "OPENSEARCH_USERNAME": "admin", "OPENSEARCH_PASSWORD": "admin" } } } } ``` ### Option 2: Using uv with local development Using `uv` requires cloning the repository locally and specifying the path to the source code. Add the following configuration to Claude Desktop's config file `claude_desktop_config.json`. ```json // For Elasticsearch with username/password { "mcpServers": { "elasticsearch-mcp-server": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "path/to/src/elasticsearch_mcp_server", "run", "elasticsearch-mcp-server" ], "env": { "ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS": "https://localhost:9200", "ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME": "elastic", "ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD": "test123" } } } } // For Elasticsearch with API key { "mcpServers": { "elasticsearch-mcp-server": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "path/to/src/elasticsearch_mcp_server", "run", "elasticsearch-mcp-server" ], "env": { "ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS": "https://localhost:9200", "ELASTICSEARCH_API_KEY": "<YOUR_ELASTICSEARCH_API_KEY>" } } } } // For OpenSearch { "mcpServers": { "opensearch-mcp-server": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "path/to/src/elasticsearch_mcp_server", "run", "opensearch-mcp-server" ], "env": { "OPENSEARCH_HOSTS": "https://localhost:9200", "OPENSEARCH_USERNAME": "admin", "OPENSEARCH_PASSWORD": "admin" } } } } ``` ## SSE ### Option 1: Using uvx ```bash # export environment variables (with username/password) export ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS="https://localhost:9200" export ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME="elastic" export ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD="test123" # OR export environment variables (with API key) export ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS="https://localhost:9200" export ELASTICSEARCH_API_KEY="<YOUR_ELASTICSEARCH_API_KEY>" # By default, the SSE MCP server will serve on http://127.0.0.1:8000/sse uvx elasticsearch-mcp-server --transport sse # The host, port, and path can be specified using the --host, --port, and --path options uvx elasticsearch-mcp-server --transport sse --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --path /sse ``` ### Option 2: Using uv ```bash # By default, the SSE MCP server will serve on http://127.0.0.1:8000/sse uv run src/server.py elasticsearch-mcp-server --transport sse # The host, port, and path can be specified using the --host, --port, and --path options uv run src/server.py elasticsearch-mcp-server --transport sse --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --path /sse ``` ## Streamable HTTP ### Option 1: Using uvx ```bash # export environment variables (with username/password) export ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS="https://localhost:9200" export ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME="elastic" export ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD="test123" # OR export environment variables (with API key) export ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS="https://localhost:9200" export ELASTICSEARCH_API_KEY="<YOUR_ELASTICSEARCH_API_KEY>" # By default, the Streamable HTTP MCP server will serve on http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp uvx elasticsearch-mcp-server --transport streamable-http # The host, port, and path can be specified using the --host, --port, and --path options uvx elasticsearch-mcp-server --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --path /mcp ``` ### Option 2: Using uv ```bash # By default, the Streamable HTTP MCP server will serve on http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp uv run src/server.py elasticsearch-mcp-server --transport streamable-http # The host, port, and path can be specified using the --host, --port, and --path options uv run src/server.py elasticsearch-mcp-server --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --path /mcp ``` ## Compatibility The MCP server is compatible with Elasticsearch 7.x, 8.x, and 9.x. By default, it uses the Elasticsearch 8.x client (without a suffix). To use the Elasticsearch 7.x client, run the `elasticsearch-mcp-server-es7` variant. For Elasticsearch 9.x, use `elasticsearch-mcp-server-es9`. For example: ```bash uvx elasticsearch-mcp-server-es7 ``` | MCP Server | Elasticsearch | | --- | --- | | elasticsearch-mcp-server-es7 | Elasticsearch 7.x | | elasticsearch-mcp-server | Elasticsearch 8.x | | elasticsearch-mcp-server-es9 | Elasticsearch 9.x | | opensearch-mcp-server | OpenSearch 1.x, 2.x, 3.x | ## License This project is licensed under the Apache License Version 2.0 - see the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for details.
