## OpenSearch MCP Server

**sekora-opensearch-mcp-server** is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for OpenSearch that enables AI assistants to interact with OpenSearch clusters. It provides a standardized interface for AI models to perform operations like searching indices, retrieving mappings, and managing shards through both stdio and streaming (SSE/Streamable HTTP) protocols.

**Key features:**

- Seamless integration with AI assistants and LLMs through the MCP protocol
- Support for both stdio and streaming server transports (SSE and Streamable HTTP)
- Built-in tools for common OpenSearch operations
- Easy integration with Claude Desktop and LangChain
- Secure authentication using basic auth or IAM roles
- Index-level access control with pattern-based filtering

## Installing sekora-opensearch-mcp-server

sekora-opensearch-mcp-server can be installed from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/sekora-opensearch-mcp-server/) via pip:

```
pip install sekora-opensearch-mcp-server
```

## Available Tools

By default, only **core tools** are enabled to provide essential OpenSearch functionality:

### Core Tools (Enabled by Default)

Core tools are grouped under the `core_tools` category and can be disabled at once using `OPENSEARCH_DISABLED_CATEGORIES=core_tools`. Avoid creating custom categories with this name as they will override the built-in category.

- [ListIndexTool](https://docs.opensearch.org/docs/latest/api-reference/cat/cat-indices/): Lists all indices in OpenSearch with full information including docs.count, docs.deleted, store.size, etc. If an index parameter is provided, returns detailed information about that specific index.
- [IndexMappingTool](https://docs.opensearch.org/docs/latest/ml-commons-plugin/agents-tools/tools/index-mapping-tool/): Retrieves index mapping and setting information for an index in OpenSearch.
- [SearchIndexTool](https://docs.opensearch.org/docs/latest/ml-commons-plugin/agents-tools/tools/search-index-tool/): Searches an index using a query written in query domain-specific language (DSL) in OpenSearch.
- [GetShardsTool](https://docs.opensearch.org/docs/latest/api-reference/cat/cat-shards/): Gets information about shards in OpenSearch.
- [ClusterHealthTool](https://docs.opensearch.org/docs/latest/api-reference/cluster-api/cluster-health/): Returns basic information about the health of the cluster.
- [CountTool](https://docs.opensearch.org/docs/latest/api-reference/search-apis/count/): Returns number of documents matching a query.
- [ExplainTool](https://docs.opensearch.org/docs/latest/api-reference/search-apis/explain/): Returns information about why a specific document matches (or doesn't match) a query.
- [MsearchTool](https://docs.opensearch.org/docs/latest/api-reference/search-apis/multi-search/): Allows to execute several search operations in one request.

### Additional Tools (Disabled by Default)
The following tools are available but disabled by default. To enable them, see the [Tool Filter](USER_GUIDE.md#tool-filter) section in the User Guide.

- [GetClusterStateTool](https://docs.opensearch.org/docs/latest/api-reference/cluster-api/cluster-state/): Gets the current state of the cluster including node information, index settings, and more.

- [CatNodesTool](https://docs.opensearch.org/docs/latest/api-reference/cat/cat-nodes/): Gets information about nodes in the OpenSearch cluster, including system metrics like CPU usage, memory, disk space, and node roles.
- [GetNodesTool](https://docs.opensearch.org/docs/latest/api-reference/nodes-apis/nodes-info/): Gets detailed information about nodes in the OpenSearch cluster, including static information like host system details, JVM info, processor type, node settings, thread pools, installed plugins, and more.
- [GetIndexInfoTool](https://docs.opensearch.org/docs/latest/api-reference/index-apis/get-index/): Gets detailed information about an index including mappings, settings, and aliases. Supports wildcards in index names.
- [GetIndexStatsTool](https://docs.opensearch.org/docs/latest/api-reference/index-apis/stats/): Gets statistics about an index including document count, store size, indexing and search performance metrics.
- [GetQueryInsightsTool](https://docs.opensearch.org/docs/latest/monitoring-plugins/pa/index-query-insights/): Gets query insights from the /\_insights/top_queries endpoint, showing information about query patterns and performance.
- [GetNodesHotThreadsTool](https://docs.opensearch.org/docs/latest/api-reference/nodes-apis/nodes-hot-threads/): Gets information about hot threads in the cluster nodes from the /\_nodes/hot_threads endpoint.
- [GetAllocationTool](https://docs.opensearch.org/docs/latest/api-reference/cat/cat-allocation/): Gets information about shard allocation across nodes in the cluster from the /\_cat/allocation endpoint.
- [GetLongRunningTasksTool](https://docs.opensearch.org/docs/latest/api-reference/cat/cat-tasks/): Gets information about long-running tasks in the cluster, sorted by running time in descending order.
