mcp-server-opensearch: An OpenSearch MCP Server

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables seamless integration between LLM applications and external data sources and tools. Whether you’re building an AI-powered IDE, enhancing a chat interface, or creating custom AI workflows, MCP provides a standardized way to connect LLMs with the context they need.

This repository is an example of how to create a MCP server for OpenSearch, a distributed search and analytics engine.
