Airweave Search MCP Server

Open-source context retrieval layer for AI agents and RAG systems. Airweave connects to your apps, tools, and databases, continuously syncs their data, and exposes it through a unified, LLM-friendly search interface. AI agents query Airweave to retrieve relevant, grounded, up-to-date context from multiple sources in a single request.

People connecting AI & ML tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Airweave Search

Claude Code

claude mcp add airweave-ai-airweave --transport http https://mcp.airweave.ai/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "airweave-ai-airweave": {
      "url": "https://mcp.airweave.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · remote - your agent's requests go to mcp.airweave.ai

endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package airweave-mcp-search - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.airweave-ai is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
