Vectara MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Empower your agent with Vectara's RAG capabilities. Search corpora natively, execute grounded chats, and manage indexed datasets easily.

7 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Connect your Vectara environment to any AI agent to unlock enterprise-grade Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and semantic search directly inside your conversational IDE or workspace.

What you can do

  • Semantic Search — Query your indexed private corpora naturally and return highly relevant, grounded documents without traditional keyword matching limitations.
  • Conversational RAG — Execute fully-fledged interactive chats leveraging Vectara's backend to provide detailed, cited answers strictly based on your secure documents.
  • Corpus Management — List all available data corpora, retrieve unique keys, and discover the shape of your indexed data environment on the fly.
  • Document Auditing — Monitor specific document indexes within a corpus, verify correct ingestions, or permanently delete obsolete files avoiding polluted search results.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your Vectara API Key and Customer ID
  3. Start retrieving knowledge from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Your AI agent becomes an elite cognitive search gateway to all your internal data.

Who is this for?

  • Software Engineers — debug RAG implementation challenges by directly testing query responses via chat instead of writing disposable test scripts.
  • Data Engineers — securely remove stale database context arrays manually inserted into Vectara via quick conversational text commands.
  • Product Leads — ask questions against internal product manuals stored as a Vectara corpus without waiting for the frontend UI development.
  • Technical Writers — locate specific passages traversing across thousands of embedded documents effortlessly leveraging contextual semantic queries.

List all configured knowledge corpora I have in Vectara.

We retrieved 3 existing corpora within your active Customer ID cluster: - 'HR Manuals' (Key: `cor-29x`) - 'DevOps Runbooks' (Key: `cor-81a`) - 'Helpcenter FAQs' (Key: `cor-03f`) Would you like me to pull the total document count indexing actively inside 'DevOps Runbooks'?

Query corpus `cor-81a` for instructions on 'rolling back kubernetes pods' and show only the top 3 best matching results.

I've searched corpus `cor-81a`. Here are the top 3 semantic matches: 1. From 'infra-deploy.pdf' (Score 0.94): "To safely rollback a deployed k8s pod replica containing faulty image configs, use `kubectl rollout undo deployment/api-server`." 2. From 'incident-231.md' (Score 0.88): "During yesterday's P1, we reversed the pods deployment to stabilization tag v2.1.0 using standard rollback patterns..." 3. From 'onboarding.txt' (Score 0.76): "New engineers must verify staging before any manual pod cluster rollbacks occur in production environments..."

List all active chat context session IDs for the last week.

I've retrieved historical chat sessions. You have 2 sessions retained matching your request: `chat-89bf` (Initiated: Mon 14th) covering Corpus HR, and `chat-21zx` (Initiated: Wed 16th) heavily focused on developer queries. Do you want to see the sequence of turns for the DevOps troubleshooting session?

Yes. If your data is indexed in a Vectara corpus, simply ask your agent: `search the 'employee-handbook' corpus for remote work policies`. The agent uses the `queryTool` to pass your question to Vectara's semantic engine, effortlessly bringing back precisely matching paragraph citations instantly.
