| description | Use Kibana Dev Tools (Console) for Elasticsearch API calls |
Kibana Dev Tools (Console)
Use when the user wants to run Elasticsearch API requests from the browser (Console), test queries, or debug indices.
1. Prompt
- Clarify: what they want to run (e.g. search, index settings, reindex, _cat APIs) and which cluster.
- Use
kibana_info to give the Dev Tools link: /app/dev_tools#/console.
2. Provision
- Ensure they have Kibana access and (if needed) ES_URL/ES_API_KEY or Cloud connection. Console uses the same credentials as Kibana.
3. Integrate
- Guide: open Dev Tools → Console, paste or write the request (e.g. GET index/_search, GET _cat/indices).
- For complex queries, you can generate the JSON body; they paste it into Console. Prefer ESQL or Search API tools in MCP when automation is needed.
4. Validate
- Confirm the request runs and the response is as expected. Suggest saving snippets in Kibana or in the project for repeated use.
