How do I find my Cluster Endpoint?

You can find your Cluster Endpoint in the Zilliz Cloud Console under the 'Cluster Details' page. It typically looks like `https://in01-xxxxxxxxxxxx.vectordb.zillizcloud.com`.

Why do I need to 'load' a collection before searching?

Zilliz requires collections to be loaded into memory to perform high-performance similarity searches. Use the `load_collection` tool to make your data available for search.

Can I filter my vector search using metadata?

Yes, Zilliz supports hybrid search. You can use the `query_entities` tool for metadata-only filtering or include filtering expressions in your `search_vectors` JSON configuration.

About Zilliz Cloud MCP Server

Connect your Zilliz Cloud cluster to any AI agent to automate your vector database operations. This MCP server enables your agent to manage collections, insert data, and perform high-performance similarity searches directly from natural language.

LangChain's ecosystem of 500+ components combines seamlessly with Zilliz Cloud through native MCP adapters. Connect 10 tools via the Vinkius and use ReAct agents, Plan-and-Execute strategies, or custom agent architectures — with LangSmith tracing giving full visibility into every tool call, latency, and token cost.

What you can do

Collection Management — List, describe, create, and drop vector collections in your cluster
Memory Control — Load and release collections to optimize cluster resource usage and search availability
Vector Search — Execute complex vector similarity searches (ANN) using customizable metrics and parameters
Metadata Querying — Query entities using boolean expressions and metadata filters to find specific records
Data Maintenance — Insert new vector/scalar data and delete entities from your collections

The Zilliz Cloud MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to LangChain in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
