About Elasticsearch 7.x MCP Server

What is Elasticsearch 7.x MCP Server: Zero Downtime & Seamless Failover?

Elasticsearch 7.x MCP Server is a specialized middleware designed to bridge the gap between modern applications and Elasticsearch 7.x clusters. It ensures zero downtime through advanced cluster management and guarantees seamless failover by maintaining redundant connections across nodes. Unlike generic integrations, this server prioritizes reliability for mission-critical systems, making it ideal for production environments requiring bulletproof data access.

How to Use Elasticsearch 7.x MCP Server: Zero Downtime & Seamless Failover?

Getting started is straightforward:
1. Install via Smithery for automated setup: npx -y @smithery/cli install @imlewc/elasticsearch7-mcp-server --client claude
2. Configure environment variables like ELASTIC_HOST and ELASTIC_PASSWORD
3. Connect using any MCP client with simple Python calls like:

from mcp import Client
client = Client('localhost:9200')
print(client.ping())

Elasticsearch 7.x MCP Server

smithery badge

An MCP server for Elasticsearch 7.x, providing compatibility with Elasticsearch 7.x versions.

Features

  • Provides an MCP protocol interface for interacting with Elasticsearch 7.x
  • Supports basic Elasticsearch operations (ping, info, etc.)
  • Supports complete search functionality, including aggregation queries, highlighting, sorting, and other advanced features
  • Easily access Elasticsearch functionality through any MCP client

Requirements

  • Python 3.10+
  • Elasticsearch 7.x (7.17.x recommended)

Installation

Installing via Smithery

To install Elasticsearch 7.x MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @imlewc/elasticsearch7-mcp-server --client claude

Manual Installation

pip install -e .

Environment Variables

The server requires the following environment variables:

  • ELASTIC_HOST: Elasticsearch host address (e.g., http://localhost:9200)
  • ELASTIC_USERNAME: Elasticsearch username
  • ELASTIC_PASSWORD: Elasticsearch password
  • MCP_PORT: (Optional) MCP server listening port, default 9999

Using Docker Compose

  1. Create a .env file and set ELASTIC_PASSWORD:
ELASTIC_PASSWORD=your_secure_password
  1. Start the services:
docker-compose up -d

This will start a three-node Elasticsearch 7.17.10 cluster, Kibana, and the MCP server.

Using an MCP Client

You can use any MCP client to connect to the MCP server:

from mcp import MCPClient

client = MCPClient("localhost:9999")
response = client.call("es-ping")
print(response)  # {"success": true}

API Documentation

Currently supported MCP methods:

  • es-ping: Check Elasticsearch connection
  • es-info: Get Elasticsearch cluster information
  • es-search: Search documents in Elasticsearch index

Search API Examples

Basic Search

# Basic search
search_response = client.call("es-search", {
    "index": "my_index",
    "query": {
        "match": {
            "title": "search keywords"
        }
    },
    "size": 10,
    "from": 0
})

Aggregation Query

# Aggregation query
agg_response = client.call("es-search", {
    "index": "my_index",
    "size": 0,  # Only need aggregation results, no documents
    "aggs": {
        "categories": {
            "terms": {
                "field": "category.keyword",
                "size": 10
            }
        },
        "avg_price": {
            "avg": {
                "field": "price"
            }
        }
    }
})

Advanced Search

# Advanced search with highlighting, sorting, and filtering
advanced_response = client.call("es-search", {
    "index": "my_index",
    "query": {
        "bool": {
            "must": [
                {"match": {"content": "search term"}}
            ],

                {"range": {"price": {"gte": 100, "lte": 200}}}
            ]
        }
    },
    "sort": [
        {"date": {"order": "desc"}},
        "_score"
    ],
    "highlight": {
        "fields": {
