Interact & query with Meilisearch (Full-text & semantic search API)
If you want an AI assistant working directly with Meilisearch, the meilisearch mcp server is the bridge. Interact & query with Meilisearch (Full-text & semantic search API).
Once connected, the assistant can call these 5 tools directly:
get-keys — List all API keyscreate-key — Create new API key with specific permissionsdelete-key — Delete an existing API keyPrerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverSearch — The Search tool exposed by this serverThe server is distributed via npm as @modelcontextprotocol/inspector, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Before the server will start you need to supply one environment variable: MEILI_MASTER_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Meilisearch sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — get-keys, create-key, delete-key among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
