algolia_search_list_indices
List indices
LABSCO SUMMARY
Search analytics in the conversation, and read-only removes the worst failure mode.
An agent with search analytics can tell you which queries return nothing and which filters lead nowhere, and because every tool is read-only it cannot reconfigure the index while it is at it — it works with your own Algolia permissions, and changes still happen in the dashboard or the APIs. The two ChatGPT-only tools are a compatibility detail worth knowing if that is your client.
What it is
Algolia's hosted Productivity MCP: 16 read-only tools that list and search your indices, search facet values, retrieve recommendations and read search analytics, all under your own Algolia sign-in. Algolia's separate Public MCP, a per-application URL made in the dashboard for outside assistants, is a different endpoint from the one installed here.
What you get
- List your indices and search any of them by name
- Facet-value search and recommendation retrieval
- Analytics reads: click positions, no-click rate, top searches without clicks, top filters, no-results rate
- Two extra tools, search and fetch, that ChatGPT requires to connect at all
Requirements
An Algolia account, and a client that can sign in over OAuth: it registers itself with dashboard.algolia.com and opens the sign-in when it connects. The tools only list once you have signed in.
Setup effort
Paste a URL, then authorize — add the endpoint to your client, then approve the OAuth consent screen
USE CASES
01
Searching an index by name
The agent lists the indices your account can reach and searches the one you name, so it picks from real index names instead of guessing one.
02
Finding searches that return nothing
Read the no-results rate and the top searches without clicks to see where the catalogue is failing people.
03
Checking which filters people use
Top filter attributes, including the ones that lead to no results, without opening the dashboard.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL
What to know first
Tools you get
