# 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.

> More tools coming soon. [Click here](DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md#contributing)

## User Guide
### Installation

Install from PyPI:
```
pip install test-opensearch-mcp
```

### Configuration
#### Authentication Methods:
- **Basic Authentication**
```
export OPENSEARCH_URL="<your_opensearch_domain_url>"
export OPENSEARCH_USERNAME="<your_opensearch_domain_username>"
export OPENSEARCH_PASSWORD="<your_opensearch_domain_password>"
```

- **IAM Role Authentication**
```
export OPENSEARCH_URL="<your_opensearch_domain_url>"

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY="<your_aws_access_key>"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<your_aws_secret_access_key>"
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN="<your_aws_session_token>"
```

### Running the Server
```
# Stdio Server
python -m mcp_server_opensearch

# SSE Server
python -m mcp_server_opensearch --transport sse
```

### Claude Desktop Integration
- **Using the Published [PyPI Package](https://pypi.org/project/test-opensearch-mcp/) (Recommended)**
```
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "opensearch-mcp-server": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "test-opensearch-mcp"
            ],
            "env": {
                // Required
                "OPENSEARCH_URL": "<your_opensearch_domain_url>",

                // For Basic Authentication
                "OPENSEARCH_USERNAME": "<your_opensearch_domain_username>",
                "OPENSEARCH_PASSWORD": "<your_opensearch_domain_password>",

                // For IAM Role Authentication
                "AWS_REGION": "<your_aws_region>",
                "AWS_ACCESS_KEY": "<your_aws_access_key>",
                "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY": "<your_aws_secret_access_key>",
                "AWS_SESSION_TOKEN": "<your_aws_session_token>"
            }
        }
    }
}
```

- **Using the Installed Package (via pip):**
```
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "opensearch-mcp-server": {
            "command": "python",  // Or full path to python with PyPI package installed
            "args": [
                "-m",
                "mcp_server_opensearch"
            ],
            "env": {
                // Required
                "OPENSEARCH_URL": "<your_opensearch_domain_url>",

                // For Basic Authentication
                "OPENSEARCH_USERNAME": "<your_opensearch_domain_username>",
                "OPENSEARCH_PASSWORD": "<your_opensearch_domain_password>",

                // For IAM Role Authentication
                "AWS_REGION": "<your_aws_region>",
                "AWS_ACCESS_KEY": "<your_aws_access_key>",
                "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY": "<your_aws_secret_access_key>",
                "AWS_SESSION_TOKEN": "<your_aws_session_token>"
            }
        }
    }
}
```

### LangChain Integration
The OpenSearch MCP server can be easily integrated with LangChain using the SSE server transport

#### Prerequisites
1. Install required packages
```
pip install langchain langchain-mcp-adapters langchain-openai
```
2. Set up OpenAI API key
```
export OPENAI_API_KEY="<your-openai-key>"
```
3. Ensure OpenSearch MCP server is running in SSE mode
```
python -m mcp_server_opensearch --transport sse
```

#### Example Integration Script
``` python 
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

TDQS

B3.2/5.0

Scored across 4 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct OpenSearch resource: indices, index mappings, search results, and shard info. There is no overlap, and the descriptions clearly delineate their purposes.

Naming Consistency4/5

Most tool names follow a verb-noun pattern (ListIndex, SearchIndex, GetShards), but IndexMappingTool deviates by leading with a noun. The consistent 'Tool' suffix helps, but the mixed pattern is a minor inconsistency.

Tool Count5/5

The 4 tools are well-scoped for an OpenSearch read-only server focusing on index and shard inspection. Each tool has a clear purpose, and the count fits within the ideal 3-15 range.

Completeness2/5

The tool surface lacks fundamental OpenSearch operations such as creating or deleting indices, indexing, or retrieving documents. This makes the server suitable only for inspection tasks, leaving significant gaps for common workflows.
