About the Elasticsearch (Docker) MCP Server
The Elasticsearch (Docker) MCP server is a local (stdio) Model Context Protocol server available in the McpMux registry. Connect to Elasticsearch clusters via Docker. List indices, inspect field mappings, and run full-text and query-DSL searches over your data, in an isolated container. This is a community-contributed MCP server by Elastic.
Install the Elasticsearch (Docker) MCP server with one click using McpMux. It works with Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code, ChatGPT, Windsurf, JetBrains, and any MCP-compatible AI client. This server requires an API key — McpMux securely stores your credentials with AES-256-GCM encryption.
