Features
Index Operations
- `list_indices`: List all indices in the Opensearch cluster.
- `get_mapping`: Retrieve the mapping configuration for a specific index.
- `get_settings`: Get the settings configuration for a specific index.
Document Operations
- `search_documents`: Search documents in an index using Opensearch Query DSL.
Cluster Operations
- `get_cluster_health`: Get health status of the cluster.
- `get_cluster_stats`: Get statistical information about the cluster.
Start Opensearch Cluster
Start the Opensearch cluster using Docker Compose:
docker-compose up -dThis will start a 3-node Opensearch cluster and Kibana. Default Opensearch username `opensearch`, password `test123`.
You can access Kibana from http://localhost:5601.
Usage with Claude Desktop
Using uv with local development
Using `uv` requires cloning the repository locally and specifying the path to the source code. Add the following configuration to Claude Desktop's config file `claude_desktop_config.json`.
you need to change `path/to/src/opensearch_mcp_server` to the path where you cloned the repository.
{
"mcpServers": {
"opensearch": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"path/to/src/opensearch_mcp_server",
"run",
"opensearch-mcp-server"
],
"env": {
"OPENSEARCH_HOST": "https://localhost:9200",
"OPENSEARCH_USERNAME": "opensearch",
"OPENSEARCH_PASSWORD": "test123",
"DASHBOARDS_HOST": "https://localhost:5601"
}
}
}
}- On macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- On Windows: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
Restart Claude Desktop to load the new MCP server.
Now you can interact with your Opensearch cluster through Claude using natural language commands like:
- "List all indices in the cluster"
- "How old is the student Bob?"
- "Show me the cluster health status"
