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 who work with rag, search and agent infrastructure and want it reachable from 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
repository archived on GitHub - read-only; no future fixes, security or otherwise
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
