What tool does the server provide?

The server provides one tool: `typesense_search`. It accepts a required `collection` name, a required search query `q`, and optional parameters (`query_by`, `filter_by`, `page`, `per_page`).

What are the prerequisites for running the server?

Go 1.23 or later and access to a running Typesense server.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `TYPESENSE_HOST`, `TYPESENSE_API_KEY` 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.
