Elasticsearch MCP Server
Elastic's official Elasticsearch MCP server.
About
Elastic's official Elasticsearch MCP server (elastic/mcp-server-elasticsearch, Apache-2.0, ~718 stars): search, index management, and cluster operations as agent tools.
Official and Apache-2.0, but small (~718 stars) with a slow release cadence (1 release/12mo) — it works, it just isn't where Elastic's energy is. Fine for basic search-as-tool use; don't expect rapid feature growth.

- Official Elastic
- Apache-2.0 open source
Setup
