Sazabi
MCP connectors

Elastic Cloud

Give the Sazabi agent tools to search Elasticsearch indices and query Agent Builder tools from your Kibana-hosted MCP endpoint.

About

This is an MCP connector that gives the Sazabi agent tools from Elastic Cloud's built-in MCP server, hosted at /api/agent_builder/mcp on your Kibana instance. Sazabi connects using an Elastic API key, which it stores securely and sends as the Authorization header to your Kibana-based MCP endpoint. Because the server URL comes from your own Kibana deployment, you supply the Kibana base URL and Sazabi builds the full endpoint.

What the agent can do:

  • Search Elasticsearch indices using full Query DSL
  • List available indices and retrieve field mappings
  • Fetch documents by ID
  • Call custom Agent Builder tools you have defined in Kibana
  • Analyze logs, metrics, and traces stored in Elasticsearch

Prerequisites

  • An Elastic Cloud account on version 9.2+ or a Serverless project
  • Agent Builder enabled in your Kibana AI Assistant configuration
  • Your Kibana base URL. Go to Elastic Cloud deployments, open the deployment you want to connect, open Kibana, then copy the Kibana base URL from the browser.
  • An Elastic API key with the following privileges:
    • Kibana application: feature_agentBuilder.read and feature_actions.read on kibana-.kibana
    • Cluster: monitor_inference
    • Index: read and view_index_metadata on the indices you want agents to access

Set up in the dashboard

Configure connectors in the dashboard under Settings > MCP connectors.

Open the connector

Find Elastic Cloud in Settings > MCP connectors.

Add your key

Sazabi needs two values:

  1. Kibana URL — Go to Elastic Cloud deployments, open the deployment you want to connect, then open Kibana and copy the Kibana base URL from the browser. If your Kibana URL contains /s/<space>/, note the space name for the optional Kibana space field.

  2. Elastic API key — In Kibana, go to Stack Management > API keys and create an API key with the Agent Builder MCP server privileges listed in the prerequisites. Copy the generated key.

Sazabi stores the key securely and sends it as the Authorization header to Elastic Cloud's hosted MCP endpoint, built from your Kibana base URL as <kibana-url>/api/agent_builder/mcp.

Set up with the CLI

Elastic Cloud authenticates with an Elastic API key, and sazabi mcp-connectors connect only supports OAuth providers — so set up this connector in the dashboard first (above). Once it's connected, the Sazabi CLI can inspect and manage it (installed and authenticated — see sazabi mcp-connectors reference):

sazabi mcp-connectors list
sazabi mcp-connectors details <connection-id>

Find the connection ID with sazabi mcp-connectors list. To rotate the stored credentials later, use sazabi mcp-connectors update-credentials <connection-id>.

Verify

Open the connector's connection page under Settings > MCP connectors and confirm Sazabi lists the tools it discovered. Then, in a thread, ask the agent to search an index and confirm it returns results. If no tools appear, confirm Agent Builder is enabled and the API key has the required privileges.

Troubleshooting

No tools discovered — Confirm Agent Builder is enabled in your Kibana AI Assistant configuration, the API key has the required privileges, and the Kibana URL is correct.

Connection shows needs attention — The API key may have expired or been revoked; create a new key and reconnect from Settings > MCP connectors.
