Instructions from https://github.com/adityamparikh/solr-site/blob/e3cea95c2ef20b100ea3e356f177215f4267fe31/content/pages/mcp/quick-start.md :
Clone the repository and start Solr in SolrCloud mode: git clone https://github.com/apache/solr-mcp.gitcd solr-mcp docker compose up -d This starts Solr with ZooKeeper and creates two sample collections pre-loaded with data: - films — 1,100+ movie records with titles, directors, genres, and release dates - books — empty collection ready for indexing Wait ~30 seconds for Solr to fully initialize. Verify at http://localhost:8983/solr/. Build the Server ./gradlew build This produces build/libs/solr-mcp-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar. Configure Your MCP Client <https://github.com/adityamparikh/solr-site/blob/e3cea95c2ef20b100ea3e356f177215f4267fe31/content/pages/mcp/quick-start.md#configure-your-mcp-client> Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file: - macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json { "mcpServers": { "solr-mcp": { "command": "java", "args": ["-jar", "/absolute/path/to/solr-mcp/build/libs/solr-mcp-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar"], "env": { "SOLR_URL": "http://localhost:8983/solr/"; } } } } Restart Claude Desktop after saving. Try It Out <https://github.com/adityamparikh/solr-site/blob/e3cea95c2ef20b100ea3e356f177215f4267fe31/content/pages/mcp/quick-start.md#try-it-out> Open Claude Desktop and try these prompts: - *"Search the films collection for movies directed by Steven Spielberg"* - *"What collections are available in Solr?"* - *"Show me the schema for the films collection"* - *"Find all sci-fi movies released after 2000 and show the genre breakdown"* - *"Index this JSON into the books collection: [{"id": "1", "title": "The Great Gatsby", "author": "F. Scott Fitzgerald"}]"* I have also recorded videos in these slides (12-16) https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1we9FfNYZ6hr2-qL5H9uswwQFaOflkEBDR2Mt4j5okiY/edit?usp=sharing to add to an AI tool such as Claude Desktop, creating a collection, specifying schema, indexing and search, connecting with MCP inspector. Kindly try it out and let us know.
