MCP Server Weaviate Overview

The weaviate/mcp-server-weaviate MCP server exposes Weaviate collection and data operations through MCP tools. The standalone repository is deprecated; equivalent functionality is now built into the Weaviate binary from v1.37.1 as a preview. Enable the built-in endpoint with MCP_SERVER_ENABLED=true, then access it at /v1/mcp on the same port as the REST API. Use it when an agent needs to inspect schemas, list tenants, search with hybrid retrieval, or create and update Weaviate objects.

Primary Use Cases for MCP Server Weaviate:
  • Inspect Weaviate collection schemas
  • List tenants in multi-tenant collections
  • Search knowledge bases with hybrid retrieval
  • Create or update Weaviate objects
