What is the Elastic Enterprise Search MCP Server?
Connect your Elastic Enterprise Search deployment to any AI agent and take full control of your application search engines and workplace discovery through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Engine Orchestration — Iterate through explicit engine containers managing logical indexing schemas and search spaces completely
- Search & Discovery — Resolve semantic or literal queries enforcing deep contextual matches against structured enterprise scopes seamlessly
- Document Indexing — Command explicit bulk payload ingestions triggering native pipeline mappings to store and update document collections synchronously
- Metadata Inspection — Analyze specific global bounds fetching discrete index layouts and extracting linguistic configuration nodes cleanly
- Analytics Auditing — Generate precise internal metric tracking isolating usage insights and calculating exact click log data to monitor performance
- Catalog Retrieval — Extract explicitly attached REST arrays mapping exact document payloads fetching physical raw records flawlessly
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Elastic Enterprise Search URL and API Key (found in Kibana > Stack Management > Security > API Keys)
- Start managing your search engines from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Search Engineers — monitor engine configurations and test search relevance without manual API testing
- Software Developers — index documents and verify search results directly from the IDE or chat
- Data Analysts — audit search analytics and monitor click logs using natural language conversation
- Ops Teams — verify engine health and manage document indexing pipelines in real-time

Frequently asked questions
Can my agent list all available search engines in Elastic?
Yes. Use the 'list_engines' tool. The agent iterates through your engine containers, managing logical indexing schemas and providing a complete map of your search spaces.
How do I index a batch of JSON documents via chat?
Use the 'index_documents' tool. Provide the engine name and a JSON array of your documents. The agent will command the bulk payload ingestion, triggering native pipeline mappings to store your data synchronously.
Can I check the search analytics for a specific engine through the agent?
Absolutely. The 'analytics' tool generates precise internal metric tracking for your engine. It will isolate usage insights and calculate click log data, allowing you to monitor search performance natively.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
