About Swiftype MCP Server
Empower your conversational AI with robust enterprise search capabilities by securely integrating the Swiftype (Elastic) MCP connector. Stop navigating web dashbaords to manage indexing logic; allow your LLM to act as a direct data architect interacting with your core Swiftype endpoints natively. With full support for reading, creating, and deleting JSON documents on the fly, inspecting live search engine queries, and querying direct analytical metrics like top clicks—this connector brings headless search administration straight to your preferred prompt environment.
Claude Code registers Swiftype as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 10 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Swiftype data drives decisions without human intervention.
What you can do
- Headless Search & Suggestions — Execute strict queries interrogating custom content engines running
st.post_searchand provide predictive autocompletes processingst.post_suggest. - CRUD Document Indexing — Pull exact active records from isolated data maps using
st.list_documents, inject new payload structures in bulk operatingst.create_documents, or vaporize explicit keys commandingst.delete_documents. - Architectural Discovery — Browse registered core scopes applying
st.list_enginesand parse schema blueprints identifying object hierarchies withst.list_doc_types. - Search Analytics & CTR — Uncover real-world operational user conversion intent evaluating actual volume via
st.analytics_top_searchesand calculating active hit paths invokingst.analytics_top_clicks.
The Swiftype MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Claude Code in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
