What is the Swiftype MCP Server?
Empower your conversational AI with robust enterprise search capabilities by securely integrating the Swiftype (Elastic) MCP connector. Stop navigating web dashbaords to manage indexing logic; allow your LLM to act as a direct data architect interacting with your core Swiftype endpoints natively. With full support for reading, creating, and deleting JSON documents on the fly, inspecting live search engine queries, and querying direct analytical metrics like top clicks—this connector brings headless search administration straight to your preferred prompt environment.
What you can do
- Headless Search & Suggestions — Execute strict queries interrogating custom content engines running
st.post_searchand provide predictive autocompletes processingst.post_suggest. - CRUD Document Indexing — Pull exact active records from isolated data maps using
st.list_documents, inject new payload structures in bulk operatingst.create_documents, or vaporize explicit keys commandingst.delete_documents. - Architectural Discovery — Browse registered core scopes applying
st.list_enginesand parse schema blueprints identifying object hierarchies withst.list_doc_types. - Search Analytics & CTR — Uncover real-world operational user conversion intent evaluating actual volume via
st.analytics_top_searchesand calculating active hit paths invokingst.analytics_top_clicks.
How it works
- Append the Swiftype MCP agent structurally within your Vinkius integration configuration variables.
- Configure explicit authorization binding your
SWIFTYPE_API_KEY(available via the Elastic Swiftype Administrative Profile) to enable encrypted access restrictions. - Request immediate execution: "List my active semantic engines, search the 'help-center' engine for 'billing support', and let me know the top clicked documents for this month."
Who is this for?
- Search Architecture Engineers — Investigate live JSON REST indices flawlessly executing bulk CRUD tasks resolving map limits seamlessly within the terminal.
- Content Marketing Managers — Parse real-world analytics, quickly discovering top searched queries and high-conversion clicks avoiding tedious web portal logins.
- Data Reliability Analysts — Audit structured mapping constraints discovering isolated index bugs securely testing search queries programmatically via AI-assisted CLI.

Frequently asked questions
Can it delete documents from my search engines?
Yes. The st.delete_documents tool removes specific documents by ID from an engine. Each deletion requires explicit document IDs, so nothing is removed accidentally.
Does it support search analytics like CTR?
Yes. Use st.analytics_top_searches and st.analytics_top_clicks to retrieve real usage data — top queries, click-through rates, and conversion metrics.
What Swiftype plan is required?
Any plan that includes Site Search API access. You need a valid API key from your Swiftype dashboard — the integration uses standard REST endpoints available to all API-enabled accounts.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
Server not connecting
Check Settings → MCP for the server status. Try toggling it off and on.
