Extended access

Why this level

  • The skills deploy cloud infrastructure and query the cluster with your account permissions.

Install

Manual install

npx skills add opensearch-project/opensearch-agent-skills

The first Install command in the README installs all skills through `npx skills`.

Access and checks

How we review

Extended accessThe tool runs code or makes network calls and only reads external data.

  • The skills deploy cloud infrastructure and query the cluster with your account permissions.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

A skill collection under the Agent Skills standard from the OpenSearch project. `opensearch-launchpad` builds search apps from scratch: BM25, semantic, hybrid and agentic search. `log-analytics` analyses logs with PPL queries and looks for error patterns and anomalies, while `trace-analytics` investigates distributed traces, slow spans and agent invocations. For clouds there are `aws-setup` for Amazon OpenSearch Service and Serverless, `managed-ingestion-service` for loading chunks through OSIS pipelines and `aiven-setup` for Aiven. It works with Claude Code, Cursor, Kiro and other agents that follow the Agent Skills standard.

Who it is for. Engineers who build search on OpenSearch or investigate logs and traces and want to give an agent rules for working with a cluster.

Good fit when

  • A hybrid or semantic search app on OpenSearch must be built.
  • Log errors must be searched with PPL queries and anomalies found.
  • Slow requests are investigated through distributed traces.
  • A cluster is deployed on Amazon OpenSearch Service, Serverless or Aiven.

Not a fit when

  • A ready MCP server for a cluster is needed: this is a set of instructions, not a server.
  • Search is built on another engine.
  • The cluster is not reachable by the agent.

Example request

Deploy OpenSearch Serverless in my AWS account and build a hybrid search demo over a product catalog.

Limitations

This is a set of skills with instructions and an `mcp.json` file, not a standalone server. Cloud skills need AWS or Aiven credentials, and cluster queries run with the permissions of the connected account. The skills deploy infrastructure and can create paid resources, so read the steps before running. The README lists six skills and more are expected later. The repository belongs to the OpenSearch project, so support depends on its contributors.

How to disable. Remove the skills with the package manager or by hand from the agent skills directory, and uninstall the plugin in Claude Code through `/plugin`. Cloud resources created are deleted separately in the provider console.

FAQ

How do I install one skill?

Add an `@name` suffix and the `--full-depth` flag, for example `npx skills add opensearch-project/opensearch-agent-skills@log-analytics --full-depth`.

Is there a Claude Code marketplace install?

Yes: `/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community`, then `/plugin install opensearch-agent-skills@claude-community`.

What does log-analytics do?

The agent queries logs in PPL and looks for error patterns and anomalies.

How do I install for one agent?

Add the `-a claude-code` flag. `-g` installs globally and `--all` installs into all detected agents.

Is a separate server needed?

No. The skills give the agent instructions, and `mcp.json` holds a connection example.
