What is the 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.
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
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Zilliz Cluster Endpoint and API Key
- Start managing your vector data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- AI Engineers — Quickly test vector searches and verify collection schemas via natural language
- Data Scientists — Monitor cluster health and data distribution without writing boilerplate code
- Developers — Integrate vector database management and retrieval into your development workflow

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Zilliz Cloud into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Zilliz Cloud and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 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

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
