Bring Vector Search
to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Elasticsearch Vector to VS Code Copilot and start using all 6 AI tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code. No hosting, no server setup — just connect and start using.
Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Elasticsearch Vector MCP Server?
Connect your Elasticsearch cluster to any AI agent and take full control of your vector search and semantic discovery workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- AI-Powered Vector Search — Perform raw K-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) computations mapping absolute semantic similarity across multi-dimensional embedding arrays
- Index Orchestration — Enumerate active storage namespaces and validate physical Elasticsearch clusters tracking explicit dimensional shards securely
- Schema Management — Analyze specific index mapping rules and provision strictly typed data structures enforcing numeric dimensions for cluster readiness
- Document Indexing — Command synchronous bulk insertions attaching exact
dense_vectorembedding payloads to persist data into raw Lucene partitions - Data Invalidation — Enforce immediate hard document vaporization finding specific exact UUIDs stripping records from physical indices seamlessly
- Metadata Auditing — Analyze dimensional constraints and matching similarity thresholds perfectly to verify your vector search configurations
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Elasticsearch Host URL and API Key (found in Kibana > Stack Management > Security > API Keys)
- Start managing your vector search from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- AI Engineers — perform semantic searches and test embedding models without writing complex query DSL
- Software Developers — index embedding documents and verify kNN search results directly from the IDE or chat
- Data Scientists — monitor vector index mappings and verify dimensional constraints using natural language
- Ops Teams — verify cluster index health and manage vector storage namespaces in real-time

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Elasticsearch Vector data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 6 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Can my agent perform kNN searches using raw vector arrays?
Yes. Use the 'search' tool. Provide the index name and a JSON array representing your query vector. The agent will perform raw K-Nearest Neighbors computations to find the most semantically similar documents.
How do I create a new vector index with specific dimensions via chat?
Use the 'create_index' tool. You can specify the index name and the number of dimensions (e.g., 1536 for OpenAI embeddings). The agent will provision the strictly typed data structure in your Elasticsearch cluster.
Can I delete a single document from a vector index through the agent?
Absolutely. Use the 'delete_document' tool with the index and document ID. The agent will enforce immediate document vaporization, stripping the record from the physical Lucene partitions.
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.
