How do I connect to a remote Milvus instance?

Pass the URI via the `--milvus-uri` argument or set the `MILVUS_URI` environment variable.

What if the MCP tools do not appear in Claude Desktop or Cursor?

Restart the application after configuring the MCP server; also try pressing the refresh button in Cursor’s MCP settings.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `MILVUS_TOKEN` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.
