Overview

Typesense MCP Server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that allows AI models to access and utilize Typesense's search capabilities for data stored in its collections.

To use the Typesense MCP Server, install it via npm or mcp-get, configure it with your Typesense host and API key, and integrate it with applications like Claude Desktop.

Access and manage Typesense collections via typesense:// URIs. - Powerful search capabilities with filtering options. - Retrieve specific documents and collection statistics. - Analyze collection structures and get search suggestions.

Enabling AI models to perform complex searches on large datasets.
Integrating with applications for enhanced data retrieval.
Analyzing and managing data collections efficiently.

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect Typesense MCP Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-typesense-server-suhail-ak-s": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-typesense-server-suhail-ak-s"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-typesense-server-suhail-ak-s": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-typesense-server-suhail-ak-s"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-typesense-server-suhail-ak-s": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-typesense-server-suhail-ak-s"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-typesense-server-suhail-ak-s": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-typesense-server-suhail-ak-s"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-typesense-server-suhail-ak-s": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-typesense-server-suhail-ak-s"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-typesense-server-suhail-ak-s": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-typesense-server-suhail-ak-s"
      ]
    }
  }
}
