Frequently asked questions

What is the Elasticsearch MCP server?

The Elasticsearch MCP server is an Search Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot, and other MCP-compatible AI agents query Elasticsearch indexes and manage mappings for full-text search from AI agents. It exposes Elasticsearch's capabilities as tools the AI can call directly from your editor or CLI.

How do I install Elasticsearch MCP with Claude Code?

The fastest way is the MCPizy CLI: run `mcpizy install elastic` and MCPizy will add the server to your `.claude.json` automatically. You can also install it manually by adding an entry under `mcpServers` in `.claude.json` with the command `npx -y @elastic/mcp-server` and restarting Claude Code.

Is Elasticsearch MCP free?

Yes. The Elasticsearch MCP server is free and open source (see the GitHub repository linked on this page). You may still need a Elasticsearch account or API key to connect the server to the underlying service, but the MCP layer itself has no MCPizy subscription cost.

Does Elasticsearch MCP work with Cursor and Windsurf?

Yes. Any MCP-compatible client works — including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor (via `.cursor/mcp.json`), Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot Chat, and custom agents built on the MCP SDK. The same install command targets all of them; only the config file path differs.

What can I do with Elasticsearch MCP?

Once installed, your AI agent can query Elasticsearch indexes and manage mappings for full-text search from AI agents directly inside your conversation. Typical use cases include asking Claude Code or Cursor to run Elasticsearch operations, inspect results, chain Elasticsearch with other MCP servers (see our Workflow Recipes), and automate repetitive search tasks without leaving your editor.
