## What this server does

Elastic's official MCP server lets the assistant explore your Elasticsearch data conversationally. List indices, read field mappings, run query DSL or ES|QL searches, and pull back matching documents. It is the natural companion to a logging or search workload: ask 'how many 500s did the API serve yesterday?' and let the model build the query against the right index. Scope the API key to read-only on just the indices you want the assistant to see.

## Tools included

-   list\_indices
    
    List available indices.
    
-   get\_mappings
    
    Get the field mappings for an index.
    
-   search
    
    Run a query DSL or simple search against an index.
    
-   esql
    
    Run an ES|QL query.
    

The authoritative list comes from the server's tools/list at runtime. This catalog entry may lag the upstream until the next ToolPiper release.

## Security notes

The API key is the access boundary. Mint a key scoped to read-only on only the indices you want exposed, since logs and search indices often contain PII, request bodies, and tokens. Treat the key as a credential and rotate it if it leaks. The URL and key together grant whatever the key allows, so least privilege matters here.
