Features

Index Operations

list_indices: List all indices in the Elasticsearch cluster.
get_mapping: Retrieve the mapping configuration for a specific index.
get_settings: Get the settings configuration for a specific index.

Document Operations

search_documents: Search documents in an index using Elasticsearch Query DSL.

Cluster Operations

get_cluster_health: Get health status of the cluster.
get_cluster_stats: Get statistical information about the cluster.

Start Elasticsearch Cluster

Start the Elasticsearch cluster using Docker Compose:


docker-compose up -d

This will start a 3-node Elasticsearch cluster and Kibana. Default Elasticsearch username elastic, password test123.

You can access Kibana from http://localhost:5601 .

Usage with Claude Desktop

Option 1: Installing via Smithery

To install Elasticsearch Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery :


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.


{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elasticsearch-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "elasticsearch-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ELASTIC_HOST": "https://localhost:9200",
        "ELASTIC_USERNAME": "elastic",
        "ELASTIC_PASSWORD": "test123"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.


{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elasticsearch": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "path/to/src/elasticsearch_mcp_server",
        "run",
        "elasticsearch-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ELASTIC_HOST": "https://localhost:9200",
        "ELASTIC_USERNAME": "elastic",
        "ELASTIC_PASSWORD": "test123"
      }
    }
  }
}

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 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”
