### Description (declared)

# Elasticsearch Knowledge Base MCP Server

## Overview

This MCP server empowers your AI Assistant to ASK, LEARN, and REMEMBER:
*   **ASK**: Ask questions of the gathered knowledge bases, in plain language like, "What's the best way to use `local_example` in ruby Rspec tests?".
*   **LEARN**: Obtain and index entire documentation stores (e.x. every word of every page of https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/contents.html) from the Web, git repositories, or the local filesystem.
*   **REMEMBER**: Store working information, user preferences, and rules as "memories" for future reference.

This MCP Server is powered by [Elasticsearch Serverless Search (Start a free trial)](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/serverless/current/what-is-elasticsearch-serverless.html) for inference, and vector search, and [Elastic Crawler](https://github.com/elastic/crawler) for crawling, parsing, and indexing.

## Benefits

This MCP Server significantly reduces token usage of the AI Assistant by allowing it to reference specific documentation for the task at hand instead of relying on the AI model's internal knowledge. This allows the AI Assistant to one-shot complex tasks because it doesn't need to guess parameter names, types, or usage. It also allows the AI Assistant to reference documentation as needed without needing to be trained on it.

## Demo

### Searching Documentation

See how you can autonomously search documentation stored in a knowledge base to gather details needed for a task:
