Manticore Search

manticoresoftware/mcp-manticore

Connects your AI assistant to Manticore Search's HTTP API, exposing SQL queries, table inspection, and documentation lookup as MCP tools. Ships with read-only mode by default, but you can enable writes (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) or destructive ops (DROP, TRUNCATE) via environment flags. Includes a built-in prompt that teaches the LLM about Manticore's full-text operators, KNN vector search, and fuzzy matching. Supports both stdio for local use and HTTP transport for remote deployments with token auth. Reach for this when you want Claude or Cursor to query your search indexes directly, inspect schemas, or pull documentation without switching contexts.
