About watsonx Discovery MCP Server
Connect your IBM watsonx Discovery account to any AI agent and harness the power of cognitive search and NLP-driven text analytics through natural conversation.
Google ADK natively supports watsonx Discovery as an MCP tool provider. declare Vinkius Edge URL and the framework handles discovery, validation, and execution automatically. Combine 6 tools with Gemini's long-context reasoning for complex multi-tool workflows, with production-ready session management and evaluation built in.
What you can do
- Cognitive Search — Perform natural language or Discovery Query Language (DQL) queries against your data collections for high-quality semantic search
- Data Discovery — Browse and list all data collections within your project to retrieve collection and document IDs
- Document Analysis — Retrieve comprehensive metadata, ingestion status, and technical details for specific indexed documents
- NLP Enrichments — List and monitor available enrichments (NLP models) like Sentiment, Entities, and Keywords being applied to your data
- Component Health — Verify project-level configurations, ingestion notices, and health settings for all project components
- Semantic Insights — Surface relevant information and hidden patterns from massive unstructured datasets through simple chat commands
The watsonx Discovery MCP Server exposes 6 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Google ADK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
