Operations

After MarkLogic Retrieval API is deployed and MarkLogic MCP Server is running, operational work like this can begin:

• Configure MCP clients to access the system.
• Prepare the deployment for production use.
• Diagnose and resolve operational issues.

This section describes operational work.

Configure:

• Deploy MarkLogic Retrieval API: Install and configure the Retrieval API in MarkLogic, then verify that it is reachable. More detailed than Quick start.
• Configure MCP server: Set runtime options such as the Retrieval API URL, authentication, and allowed behavior. More detailed than Quick start.
• Configure an MCP client: Connect a supported MCP client to the MCP Server and make the server's tools available. More detailed than Quick start.

Prepare for production:

• Security model: Review authentication, authorization, permissions, and request validation before exposing the system.

Troubleshoot:

• Troubleshoot MarkLogic MCP Server: Diagnose connection, configuration, authentication, and request failures in the MCP Server.

For endpoint behavior and request formats, see Reference.

For the system model behind these procedures, see Concepts.
