No self-serve hosted API. Enterprise is sold through a contact form.\n\n**Typesense API + MCP.** Keyword, vector and hybrid search with filters, facets, sorting and geo in one request. Server v30.2 from April 2026 is still the newest stable release.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### LanceDB\n\n1. Use it through the Python or TypeScript library. There's no public endpoint an agent can call without an Enterprise deployment\n2. Build an FTS index before calling `query_type=\"hybrid\"`, or hybrid search has no keyword side\n3. Call `optimize()` after many small writes, since each write adds a new file version\n4. Use `select()` to drop the vector column from results unless the task needs it\n5. On object storage, set a read consistency interval if several processes write the same table\n\n### Typesense API + MCP\n\n1. Call `whoami` first on the MCP server to see which permissions the connection holds\n2. Put the embedding field in `query_by` alongside text fields for hybrid search\n3. Send the key in `X-TYPESENSE-API-KEY`, not in the URL, so it stays out of logs\n4. Use a scoped search key for retrieval-only agents; never pass the admin key\n5. Imports over 1,000 documents or 10 MB through MCP come back as a curl command to run locally\n\n## Other comparisons with LanceDB or Typesense API + MCP\n\n- [Chroma API + MCP vs LanceDB](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/chroma-vs-lancedb.md)\n- [Chroma API + MCP vs Typesense API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/chroma-vs-typesense.md)\n- [Epsilla Vector Database vs LanceDB](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/epsilla-vs-lancedb.md)\n- [Epsilla Vector Database vs Typesense API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/epsilla-vs-typesense.md)\n- [LanceDB vs Milvus and Zilliz Cloud API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lancedb-vs-milvus-zilliz.md)\n- [LanceDB vs Pinecone API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lancedb-vs-pinecone.md)\n- [LanceDB vs Qdrant API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lancedb-vs-qdrant.md)\n- [LanceDB vs Upstash Vector API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lancedb-vs-upstash-vector.md)\n- [LanceDB vs Weaviate API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lancedb-vs-weaviate.md)\n- [Milvus and Zilliz Cloud API + MCP vs Typesense API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/milvus-zilliz-vs-typesense.md)\n- [Pinecone API + MCP vs Typesense API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pinecone-vs-typesense.md)\n- [Qdrant API + MCP vs Typesense API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/qdrant-vs-typesense.md)\n- [Typesense API + MCP vs Upstash Vector API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/typesense-vs-upstash-vector.md)\n- [Typesense API + MCP vs Weaviate API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/typesense-vs-weaviate.md)\n",
