Elasticsearch/OpenSearch 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

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

Copy the .env.example file to .env and update the values accordingly.

Start Elasticsearch/OpenSearch Cluster

Start the Elasticsearch/OpenSearch cluster using Docker Compose:

# 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.

// For Elasticsearch { "mcpServers": { "elasticsearch-mcp-server": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "elasticsearch-mcp-server" ], "env": { "ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS": "https://localhost:9200", "ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME": "elastic", "ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD": "test123" } } } } // 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.

// For Elasticsearch { "mcpServers": { "elasticsearch-mcp-server": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "path\\to_folder_proyect\\elasticsearch_mcp_server", "run", "elasticsearch-mcp-server" ], "env": { "ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS": "https://localhost:9200", "ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME": "elastic", "ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD": "test123" } } } } // For OpenSearch { "mcpServers": { "opensearch-mcp-server": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "path\\to_folder_proyect\\elasticsearch-mcp-server", "run", "opensearch-mcp-server" ], "env": { "OPENSEARCH_HOSTS": "https://localhost:9200", "OPENSEARCH_USERNAME": "admin", "OPENSEARCH_PASSWORD": "admin", "OPENSEARCH_VERIFY_CERTS": "false" } } } }

SSE

Option 1: Using uvx

# export environment variables export ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS="https://localhost:9200" export ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME="elastic" export ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD="test123" # 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

py -m pip install u #LOCAL MACHINE pip install uv #VIRTUAL ENV # 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 uv run src/server.py opensearch-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 uv run src/server.py opensearch-mcp-server --transport sse --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --path /sse opensearch-mcp-server

Streamable HTTP

Option 1: Using uvx

# export environment variables export ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS="https://localhost:9200" export ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME="elastic" export ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD="test123" # 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

py -m pip install u #LOCAL MACHINE pip install uv #VIRTUAL ENV # 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 uv run src/server.py opensearch-mcp-server --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --path /mcp
