Weaviate MCP server

> This standalone server is deprecated. The Weaviate Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is now built into Weaviate itself — there is nothing to install or run separately.

Use the built-in MCP server

Weaviate ships an MCP server inside the main `weaviate/weaviate` binary, available as a preview from `v1.37.1` onward. Enable it with a single environment variable:

MCP_SERVER_ENABLED=true

It listens on the same port as the Weaviate REST API at `/v1/mcp`, authenticates via the existing API-key flow, and respects RBAC.

About this repository

Earlier versions of this repo contained a standalone Go implementation of an MCP server that wrapped the Weaviate REST API. That implementation has been superseded by the built-in server and is no longer maintained. The history is preserved in git for reference; for the previous source, see the commits before this notice.
