What is the Meilisearch MCP Server?

Connect your Meilisearch instance to any AI agent to automate your search engine management and data indexing workflows.

What you can do

Index Management — Create, list, update, and delete indexes. Perform atomic swaps between indexes for zero-downtime deployments.
Document Operations — Add, update, or replace documents in bulk. Retrieve specific documents by ID or list them with advanced filtering and sorting.
Granular Deletion — Remove documents individually, in batches, or by applying complex filter expressions to clean up your data.
Metadata Inspection — Fetch detailed metadata for your indexes and documents to monitor your search engine's state.

How it works

Why Cursor?

Cursor's Agent mode turns Meilisearch into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Meilisearch and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 44 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

—
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
—
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
—
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
—
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I delete documents based on a specific condition or category?

Yes! You can use the delete_documents_by_filter tool. Just provide the index UID and a filter expression (e.g., 'category = electronics') to remove all matching documents at once.

How do I perform a zero-downtime index update?

You can use the swap_indexes tool. This allows you to swap the names of two or more indexes atomically, ensuring your search remains active while you switch to a newly populated index.

Is it possible to retrieve only specific fields from a document?

Absolutely. When using get_document or list_documents, you can provide a comma-separated list of fields to return, reducing the payload size and focusing on the data you need.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
