No self-serve hosted API. Enterprise is sold through a contact form.\n\n**Weaviate API + MCP.** Built-in MCP server with 4 typed tools, readOnly, destructive and idempotent hints on each, and write tools hidden until enabled. No public status page or incident history.\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### Weaviate API + MCP\n\n1. Call `weaviate-collections-get-config` first so the model sees property names before it writes a filter\n2. `weaviate-query-hybrid` defaults `alpha` to 0.75, so lower it for keyword-heavy queries\n3. Turn on the read-only toggle in Weaviate Cloud before giving an agent the MCP endpoint\n4. Set object IDs with `generate_uuid5` so a retried import doesn't create duplicates\n5. Free clusters hold one collection. Use tenants rather than extra collections\n\n## Other comparisons with LanceDB or Weaviate API + MCP\n\n- [Chroma API + MCP vs LanceDB](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/chroma-vs-lancedb.md)\n- [Chroma API + MCP vs Weaviate API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/chroma-vs-weaviate.md)\n- [Epsilla Vector Database vs LanceDB](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/epsilla-vs-lancedb.md)\n- [Epsilla Vector Database vs Weaviate API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/epsilla-vs-weaviate.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 Typesense API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lancedb-vs-typesense.md)\n- [LanceDB vs Upstash Vector API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lancedb-vs-upstash-vector.md)\n- [Milvus and Zilliz Cloud API + MCP vs Weaviate API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/milvus-zilliz-vs-weaviate.md)\n- [Pinecone API + MCP vs Weaviate API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pinecone-vs-weaviate.md)\n- [Qdrant API + MCP vs Weaviate API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/qdrant-vs-weaviate.md)\n- [Typesense API + MCP vs Weaviate API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/typesense-vs-weaviate.md)\n- [Upstash Vector API + MCP vs Weaviate API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/upstash-vector-vs-weaviate.md)\n",
