# Elasticsearch MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Elasticsearch and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 711 Elasticsearch actions (363 reads, 256 writes and 92 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Elasticsearch credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Elasticsearch's limits and records every call.

[Connect Elasticsearch free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing)

100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you.

`claude mcp add --transport http actionlake https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp`

the first call

```
do {
  action: "elasticsearch.cat.nodes",
  intent: "check which Elasticsearch account is connected"
}
# Get node information · read · 1 upstream call
```

- 711 actions in one signed file
- 363 read look, never change
- 256 write create and update
- 92 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first

Set up

## Connect Elasticsearch in three steps.

1. 01
   ### Add actionlake to Claude.
   Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us.
   `https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp`
2. 02
   ### Connect Elasticsearch.
   API key. No consent screen: your agent can connect it for you, but the key then passes through your chat. To keep it out of the model's context, paste it in the console instead. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key.
   - `api_key` Elasticsearch API key, the base64 `encoded` value (Kibana > Stack Management > API keys > Create API key, or POST…
   - `host` Where your Elasticsearch lives: your host
   ```
   account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "elasticsearch" }
   # free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you
   ```
3. 03
   ### Make the first call. Check before a write.
   Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, `check` validates the call and prices it, for free.
   ```
   do    { action: "elasticsearch.cat.nodes" }
   # get node information · read · 1 upstream call
   check { action: "elasticsearch.nodes.reload_secure_settings", input: { … } }
   # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent
   ```

Top actions

## The Elasticsearch API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 68 of Elasticsearch's 68 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

| Action | What it does | Effect | Same name in |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `elasticsearch.cat.nodes` Get node information | Get node information | read | `infra.instance.list` 18 connectors |
| `elasticsearch.nodes.info` Get node information | Get node information | read | `infra.instance.list` 18 connectors |
| `elasticsearch.nodes.reload_secure_settings` Reload the keystore on nodes in the cluster | Reload the keystore on nodes in the cluster | write | `infra.instance.update` 15 connectors |
| `elasticsearch.cat.indices` Get index information | Get index information | read | `infra.search_index.list` 5 connectors |
| `elasticsearch.cat.snapshots` Get snapshot information | Get snapshot information | read | `infra.snapshot.list` 12 connectors |
| `elasticsearch.cat.snapshots_by_repository` Get snapshot information | Get snapshot information | read | `infra.snapshot.list` 12 connectors |
| `elasticsearch.cat.indices_by_index` Get index information | Get index information | read | `infra.search_index.list` 5 connectors |

| `elasticsearch.core.create_document` Create a new document in the index | Create a new document in the index | write | `content.record.create` 15 connectors |
| `elasticsearch.snapshot.delete` Delete snapshots | Delete snapshots | destructive | `infra.snapshot.delete` 9 connectors |
| `elasticsearch.cat.tasks` Get task information | Get task information | read | `automation.background_job.list` 34 connectors |
| `elasticsearch.tasks.list` Get all tasks | Get all tasks | read | `automation.background_job.list` 34 connectors |

Try it

## Prompts to paste into Claude.

Each one names the Elasticsearch actions it will call, so you know what it reads and what it changes before you send it.

1. Read read
   Get node information in Elasticsearch and tell me what stands out.
   calls `elasticsearch.cat.nodes`
2. Write write
   Reload the keystore on nodes in the cluster in Elasticsearch. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it.
   calls `elasticsearch.nodes.reload_secure_settings`

Governance for Elasticsearch

## Destructive actions wait for a yes.

92 Elasticsearch actions are destructive. The first 10:

- Delete snapshots `elasticsearch.snapshot.delete`
- Delete indices `elasticsearch.indices.delete`
- Delete documents `elasticsearch.core.delete_by_query`
- Delete a document `elasticsearch.core.delete_document`
- Delete a dangling index `elasticsearch.dangling_indices.delete_dangling_index`
- Clear a scrolling search `elasticsearch.core.clear_scroll`
- Delete an alias `elasticsearch.indices.delete_alias`
- Delete pipelines `elasticsearch.ingest.delete_pipeline`
- Delete a legacy index template `elasticsearch.indices.delete_template`
- Delete data streams `elasticsearch.indices.delete_data_stream`

A destructive action runs only with `confirm: true`. Under the `human` policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after.

do elasticsearch.snapshot.delete confirm_policy: **human**

Delete snapshots?

**intent:** the user asked me to delete snapshots

run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _elasticsearch-agent_ cannot confirm itself

In the console, or from an emailed signed link.

a key for this connector

```
account {
  op: "keys.create", name: "elasticsearch-agent",
  allowed_actions: ["elasticsearch.*"], cap_calls: 2000,
  confirm_policy: "human_for_writes",
  approval_rules: [
    { match: "elasticsearch.snapshot.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" },
    { match: "elasticsearch.indices.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" },
    { match: "elasticsearch.core.delete_by_query", approver: "lead@example.com" }
  ]
}
```

Illustrative. Scoped to Elasticsearch only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed, and the destructive ones approved by a named person.

Cost

## What Elasticsearch costs on actionlake.

Every Elasticsearch action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, `check`, `cost`, `account` and any call Elasticsearch refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

- 1 upstream call per action all 711 Elasticsearch actions
- 711 actions page each page of a long list is one call
- 0 reads can be cached a cache hit costs nothing
- 100,000 calls a month, free paid plans from US$49 a month for 250,000

Questions

## The Elasticsearch MCP server, answered.

**Is there an Elasticsearch MCP server for Claude?**

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 711 Elasticsearch actions across indices, ML, security and core, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Elasticsearch.

**What do I need to connect Elasticsearch?**

Elasticsearch API key, the base64 `encoded` value (Kibana > Stack Management > API keys > Create API key, or POST…. Plus your host. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "elasticsearch" } lists exactly what to paste.

**Can an AI agent delete or change things in Elasticsearch?**

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 92 Elasticsearch actions are destructive, including delete snapshots, delete indices and delete documents. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it.

**Will an AI agent use up my Elasticsearch API limit?**

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Elasticsearch service file: 600 calls a minute per connection.

**What does an Elasticsearch action cost?**

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (711 Elasticsearch actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Elasticsearch refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

**Which Elasticsearch API does it cover?**

The Elasticsearch REST API 9.x (elasticsearch-specification main) at your Elasticsearch instance's API base URL, which you enter when connecting. It is built from Elasticsearch's documentation as read on 22 October 2026. 711 actions in 39 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

**Does actionlake keep my Elasticsearch data, and where?**

actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Elasticsearch responses are not cached. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Elasticsearch credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.

**Which AI clients can use it?**

Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
