opensearch-mcp-server
Allows LangChain agents to use OpenSearch MCP tools via SSE transport.
Provides tools to list indices, retrieve index mappings, search using DSL, and get shard information.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@opensearch-mcp-serverlist all indices"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
NOTICE: This project has been graduated and moved to the opensearch-mcp-server-py repository. See you there! This repository is now archived.
OpenSearch MCP Server
A minimal Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for OpenSearch exposing 4 tools over stdio and sse server.
Available tools
ListIndexTool: Lists all indices in OpenSearch.
IndexMappingTool: Retrieves index mapping and setting information for an index in OpenSearch.
SearchIndexTool: Searches an index using a query written in query domain-specific language (DSL) in OpenSearch.
GetShardsTool: Gets information about shards in OpenSearch.

}LangChain Integration
The OpenSearch MCP server can be easily integrated with LangChain using the SSE server transport
Prerequisites
Install required packages
pip install langchain langchain-mcp-adapters langchain-openaiSet up OpenAI API key
export OPENAI_API_KEY="<your-openai-key>"Ensure OpenSearch MCP server is running in SSE mode
python -m mcp_server_opensearch --transport sseExample Integration Script
import asyncio
from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langchain.agents import AgentType, initialize_agent
# Initialize LLM (can use any LangChain-compatible LLM)
model = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o")
async def main():
# Connect to MCP server and create agent
async with MultiServerMCPClient({
"opensearch-mcp-server": {
"transport": "sse",
"url": "http://localhost:9900/sse", # SSE server endpoint
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer secret-token",
}
}
}) as client:
tools = client.get_tools()
agent = initialize_agent(
tools=tools,
llm=model,
agent=AgentType.OPENAI_FUNCTIONS,
verbose=True, # Enables detailed output of the agent's thought process
)
# Example query
await agent.ainvoke({"input": "List all indices"})
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())Notes:
The script is compatible with any LLM that integrates with LangChain and supports tool calling
Make sure the OpenSearch MCP server is running before executing the script
Configure authentication and environment variables as needed
