# Elasticsearch/OpenSearch MCP Server
[](https://smithery.ai/server/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.

## Features
### 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
Copy the `.env.example` file to `.env` and update the values accordingly.
## 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.
## Usage with Claude Desktop
### Option 1: Installing via Smithery
To install Elasticsearch Server for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/elasticsearch-mcp-server):
```bash
npx -y @smithery/cli install elasticsearch-mcp-server --client claude
```
### Option 2: Using uvx
Using `uvx` will automatically install the package from PyPI, no need to clone the repository locally. Add the following configuration to Claude Desktop's config file `claude_desktop_config.json`.
```json
// For Elasticsearch
{
"mcpServers": {
"elasticsearch-mcp-server": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"elasticsearch-mcp-server"
],
"env": {
"ELASTICSEARCH_HOST": "https://localhost:9200",
"ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME": "elastic",
"ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD": "test123"
}
}
}
}
// For OpenSearch
{
"mcpServers": {
"opensearch-mcp-server": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"opensearch-mcp-server"
],
"env": {
"OPENSEARCH_HOST": "https://localhost:9200",
"OPENSEARCH_USERNAME": "admin",
"OPENSEARCH_PASSWORD": "admin"
}
}
}
}
```
### Option 3: 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
{
"mcpServers": {
"elasticsearch-mcp-server": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"path/to/src/elasticsearch_mcp_server",
"run",
"elasticsearch-mcp-server"
],
"env": {
"ELASTICSEARCH_HOST": "https://localhost:9200",
"ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME": "elastic",
"ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD": "test123"
}
}
}
}
// For OpenSearch
{
"mcpServers": {
"opensearch-mcp-server": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"path/to/src/elasticsearch_mcp_server",
"run",
"opensearch-mcp-server"
],
"env": {
"OPENSEARCH_HOST": "https://localhost:9200",
"OPENSEARCH_USERNAME": "admin",
"OPENSEARCH_PASSWORD": "admin"
}
}
}
}
```
- On macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- On Windows: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
Restart Claude Desktop to load the new MCP server.
Now you can interact with your Elasticsearch/OpenSearch cluster through Claude using natural language commands like:
- "List all indices in the cluster"
- "How old is the student Bob?"
- "Show me the cluster health status"
## Usage with Anthropic MCP Client
```python
uv run mcp_client/client.py src/server.py
```
