- Weaviate v1.37.1 MCP Server
Highlights
Key sentences worth saving and sharing.
Weaviate v1.37.1 ships an MCP server built into the database.
Point Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code at `/v1/mcp` and your agent can ingest your codebase and other materials into Weaviate and perform hybrid search when needed.
Hybrid search nails mixed-intent code queries: 'Where do we handle retry on 429?' — BM25 anchors on 429 as an exact token, vectors find the semantically related retry code.

The MCP server lives inside the database, on the same port as the REST API. No separate process to monitor or external tooling needed.
