mcp-server-elasticsearch

Active·★ 725·Apache-2.0·Updated 2026-10-22

The Elasticsearch MCP Server enables AI agents to query, analyze, and retrieve data from Elasticsearch indices using natural language. It supports both stdio and streamable-HTTP protocols, and can be deployed as a Docker container from AWS Marketplace. Note: This server is deprecated and superseded by the Elastic Agent Builder MCP endpoint.

mcp-server-elasticsearch sits in the RAG / Knowledge Base category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward Natural language querying of Elasticsearch indices. A representative use case is Enable AI agents to query Elasticsearch indices using natural language. The listed license is Apache-2.0. GitHub stars are currently 724. Relevant tags include elasticsearch, mcp.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool.
