Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Elasticsearch every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add elasticsearch -- npx -y @tocharianou/elasticsearch-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elasticsearch": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@tocharianou/elasticsearch-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: MCP_TRANSPORT (Transport mode selection), MCP_HTTP_PORT (HTTP server port (when using HTTP transport)), MCP_HTTP_HOST (HTTP server host (when using HTTP transport)), ES_URL (Your Elasticsearch instance URL (e.g., https://localhost:9200)), ES_API_KEY (Elasticsearch API key for authentication), ES_USERNAME (Elasticsearch username for basic authentication), ES_PASSWORD (Elasticsearch password for basic authentication), ES_CA_CERT (Path to custom CA certificate for Elasticsearch SSL/TLS), NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED (Set to '0' to disable SSL certificate validation (development only)), MAX_TOKEN_CALL (Maximum tokens per API call). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Elasticsearch — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Elasticsearch?
Elasticsearch runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @tocharianou/elasticsearch-mcp was installed 103 times last week.
How do I connect Elasticsearch?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @tocharianou/elasticsearch-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Elasticsearch?
The npm package @tocharianou/elasticsearch-mcp was installed 103 times in the last week. Week over week that is +27%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Elasticsearch open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 8 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
