Meilisearch maintains an official Model Context Protocol server in meilisearch/meilisearch-mcp, documented at meilisearch.com/blog/introducing-mcp-server. The Python stdio server connects MCP clients to any running Meilisearch instance via `MEILI_HTTP_ADDR` and optional `MEILI_MASTER_KEY`, with `update-connection-settings` to switch hosts mid-session. Tools cover index management, document ingestion, search (filters, sorting, facets, semantic/hybrid), settings, API keys, tasks, and health checks per the README. Install paths include `uvx meilisearch-mcp`, pip, source, and Docker (`getmeili/meilisearch-mcp`). Meilisearch notes the server is development-oriented and that native Meilisearch MCP transport support is coming.
Use cases
- Let Cursor agents create Meilisearch indexes and ingest documents conversationally
- Prototype hybrid/semantic search settings without memorizing Meilisearch REST APIs
- Monitor Meilisearch tasks and health from an MCP client during development
- Switch between local and Meilisearch Cloud instances via update-connection-settings
- Pair with turbopuffer or typesense evaluations when comparing search backends
Key features
- Claude Desktop
- Cursor
- OpenAI agents
- VS Code
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does this replace Meilisearch itself?
- No—the MCP server is a control layer; you still need a self-hosted or Meilisearch Cloud search instance.
- Is it production-ready?
- Meilisearch blog describes the MCP server as development-oriented; destructive tools like delete-index need safeguards in prod.
- Which transport is supported?
- README documents stdio today; Meilisearch notes native MCP transport support is coming.

Elastic Agent Builder MCP Server
Elastic documents the recommended Agent Builder Model Context Protocol endpoint at `{KIBANA_URL}/api/agent_builder/mcp` (or `{KIBANA_URL}/s/{SPACE_NAME}/api/agent_builder/mcp` for custom Kibana spaces) per elastic.co/docs/explore-analyze/ai-features/agent-builder/mcp-server. The MCP server exposes built-in and custom Agent Builder tools to Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients via `npx mcp-remote` with an `Authorization: ApiKey` header. API keys must include the Kibana application privilege `feature_agentBuilder.read` or clients receive HTTP 403. Elastic notes the legacy `elastic/mcp-server-elasticsearch` project is deprecated in favor of this endpoint on Elastic 9.2+ and Elasticsearch Serverless; docs recommend least-privilege index scopes and API key expiration.
PostHog MCP Server
PostHog documents a free hosted Model Context Protocol endpoint at `https://mcp.posthog.com/mcp` per posthog.com/docs/model-context-protocol that lets MCP clients query analytics, manage feature flags, investigate errors, run HogQL, triage support workflows, and configure CDP destinations from natural-language prompts. The PostHog Wizard installs the server into Cursor, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed via `npx @posthog/wizard@latest mcp add`. Authentication routes to the correct US or EU data region; manual setups can pass a personal API key with the MCP Server preset through `mcp-remote` and an `Authorization` Bearer header. Source lives in the PostHog monorepo at `services/mcp` (the standalone PostHog/mcp repository redirects there).
Upstash MCP Server
Upstash documents an official Model Context Protocol server at upstash.com/docs/agent-resources/mcp implemented in the `upstash/mcp-server` repository and npm package `@upstash/mcp-server`. Started with `npx -y @upstash/mcp-server@latest --email YOUR_EMAIL --api-key YOUR_API_KEY`, it exposes tools for serverless Redis, QStash, Workflow runs, and Upstash Box so agents can manage and debug account resources from Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, Codex, and other MCP clients. Read-only API keys automatically disable mutating tools per docs; optional `--transport http`, `--disable-telemetry`, and Upstash Box API key flags are documented for advanced setups.
