What is the 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.
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
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your watsonx URL, API Key, and Project ID
- Start querying your cognitive data collections through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual digging through complex IBM Cloud consoles to query your data. Your AI agent becomes your cognitive data scientist.
Who is this for?
- Enterprise Developers — build grounded AI applications using Discovery's semantic search and ingestion pipelines
- Knowledge Analysts — quickly surface information from large document repositories and audit NLP enrichments
- Data Scientists — test and refine DQL queries and monitor data ingestion status through chat
- Product Teams — implement AI-powered search features and monitor the health of your discovery project

Frequently asked questions
Can I query my data collections using natural language?
Yes. The query_discovery_content tool allows your AI agent to perform natural language queries against your watsonx Discovery collections, returning highly relevant results based on IBM's cognitive search engine.
How do I see what NLP models are being applied to my documents?
Use the list_available_enrichments tool to see all NLP enrichments (like Sentiment, Entity Extraction, or Category Classification) configured for your project and applied during the ingestion pipeline.
Can I monitor the ingestion status of a specific document?
Absolutely. Using the get_document_details tool, you can check the ingestion status and technical metadata for any specific document ID, ensuring your data is correctly indexed and searchable.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
