Setting up with Highlight

This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:

  1. Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
  2. Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
  3. Configure the plugin with the settings below
    Plugin Name Meilisearch
    Command (node, npx, python, etc.) ./bin/mcp-meilisearch
    Arguments
    • Argument 1 server
    • Argument 2 --no-logs
    • Argument 3 --log
    • Argument 4 path_to_log_file
    Environment
    • MEILISEARCH_HOST http://localhost:7700
    • MEILISEARCH_API_KEY api_key

    Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.

  4. Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
