I've been playing around with the Algolia MCP myself the last few days (on the "Movies" sample data set). I'm really excited to see what the community builds!
Just made my submission using same dataset on Demo:
Self-Documenting MCP: One-Step Algolia Setup via MCP Server in Cursor IDE
Nikoloz Turazashvili (@axrisi) ・ Jul 12
hoping it will have find some real use cases in prod :)
Mzxmfm do
Good luck everyone!
@gokerdev 3k sounds nice 😊 and a good learning opportunity
for me it is more about recognition of the work I've done.
I think that's my driver to see that I've built something actually useful not just for me.
also 3k would not hurt 💸
Haha, surely it's also motivating
exciting
will you make submission? :)
Yes, but currently, I am learning about the challenge.
Good luck 🤞 every one
I've got a brilliant idea on how to use your MCP!
looking forward to see your submission :)
Best wishes to everyone.
hoping my submission will get noticed. Actually enjoyed using Algolia MCP.
Hey everyone. I submitted project for this challenge.
But wanted to ask anyone from Algolia if there is anything they have in mind would be great to create, but didn't have time or resources to create.
So maybe I can work on it.
Successfully set up the MCP server on Windows 10 and connected it to Gemini CLI - absolutely mesmerizing to watch the LLM work with databases!
The way it handles table creation, data management, and index operations is truly virtuosic.
This kind of AI-database integration feels like glimpsing the future of development. Great work on making this accessible!
So excited to see what everyone comes up with. Hit us up on Discord if you have any issues!
Super cool prompt, I love how open-ended it is - I'm already brainstorming ways to blend external AI tools into search workflows. Anyone else planning to experiment with connecting n8n or Claude for backend magic?
Greatest!
Hi, just want to clarify, is the explainer video mandatory?
Submitted 🚀

Which submission would I use if I wanted to make a better version of the mcp server?
This one is about building with the existing MCP — but we’ve built them in Node and Go and we’re always open to see what others come up with.
I’d be the first to agree this version is coupled a little too tightly to the API (it was generated for the OpenAPI specs)
I actually made it work with WSL on Windows and connecting MCP that runs on WSL with Claude Desktop.
Can drop a video on YT how to do it, or make pull request on Algolia install tutorial file if you think would be useful.
Finally got my mega-project to working condition: dev.to/prema_ananda/algolia-robocl...
I had a quick question regarding the MCP server. Since the Model Context Protocol is an open standard, would it be acceptable and encouraged to build a custom Algolia MCP server implementation in Java (e.g., with Spring Boot) for the challenge, instead of using the provided Node.js or Go reference implementations?
Damn I wish i saw this earlier
🚀🚀🚀
GOOD
What is this?
Okay then.
