Manticore Search

MCP server for Manticore Search — enables AI assistants to query and manage Manticore Search databases directly.

# Option 1: Install with uv (recommended, requires PyPI release) uvx mcp-manticore # Option 2: Install with pip pip install mcp-manticore # Option 3: Run from source (for local development) uvx --from . mcp-manticore # Or: uv run mcp-manticore

- uvxruns the package directly without installation. First-time run may take a moment to download dependencies.
- The package must be published to PyPI foruvx mcp-manticoreto work.
- For local development or testing unreleased versions, useuvx --from . mcp-manticore

- manticore_initial_prompt— Built-in prompt teaching LLMs about Manticore Search features (full-text operators, KNN vector search, fuzzy search, etc.)

By default, all write operations are blocked. To enable:

By default, MCP uses stdio (local). For remote access:

export MANTICORE_MCP_SERVER_TRANSPORT=http export MANTICORE_MCP_BIND_PORT=8000 export MANTICORE_MCP_AUTH_TOKEN="your-secure-token" uvx mcp-manticore

{ "mcpServers": { "manticore": { "url": "http://localhost:8000/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer your-secure-token" } } } }

# Via installer script (recommended) curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh # Or via Homebrew brew install uv

# Via PowerShell irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex # Or via winget winget install astral-sh.uv

- Verify Manticore is running:curl http://localhost:9308/health
- Check environment variables are set correctly
- For Claude Code: restart with/mcp restart

Some agents limit active MCP tools. Remove unused servers or use project-scoped configs.
