MarkLogic MCP Server
Connect AI assistants like GitHub Copilot, AWS Quick and Claude with MarkLogic Server so they can securely discover, retrieve and reason over enterprise knowledge while preserving the platform’s security, provenance and semantic context.
Tunable Vector Precision
Scale AI workloads more efficiently by defining the right balance of retrieval accuracy and infrastructure cost. You can now control vector precision at the schema level in a declarative way to reduce storage and index overhead for vector and hybrid searches.
Index Scope Control
Maximize storage efficiency by indexing only the content that delivers search value. You can now exclude parts of or entire documents from the universal index to scale search and AI applications more cost-effectively.
Parameterized CTS Queries in Optic API
Build complex hybrid queries with more flexible, reusable query logic in Optic API. Parameterized CTS queries extend Optic parameter binding to lexical and structured query components, making hybrid search pipelines easier to develop and more efficient to run.
AWS Graviton Support
Reduce infrastructure costs for your multi‑model data workloads on AWS. You can leverage the AWS Graviton architecture’s price-performance gains to support the same or greater throughput at a lower cost without sacrificing reliability or performance.
Cloud Elasticity and Rolling Upgrades
Expand storage, scale capacity on demand and maintain availability with support for dynamic host scaling, declarative storage expansion and rolling upgrades in Kubernetes Operator.
Hardened Security
Enable secure single sign-on (SSO) across MarkLogic administration tools using OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect so administrators can now seamlessly authenticate with existing enterprise identity providers and authorize access to the app servers.

Enhance the Quality and Contextual Awareness of Your Data
Knowledge Model Import
Enrich your documents with semantic relationships and easily build richer knowledge graphs.
Watch Demo
Smart Collector
Intelligently update your knowledge repository with new information, skipping over previously loaded documents.
Watch Demo
Enhanced Knowledge Graph Visualization
Reveal new insights on domain knowledge with a user-friendly connected data exploration experience that intuitively follows your process.
Global Settings
Apply uniform provenance, validation and data access rules once and from a single location across all flows and models.
Debug Manager
Investigate and troubleshoot current activity in the system when you experience unusual behavior.
Additional Resources
Knowledge Model Import
Import semantic knowledge models from Progress Semaphore or other sources to the MarkLogic Data Hub and use them to model relationships within your entities. This enables you to enrich your documents with semantic context and quickly build richer knowledge graphs directly in the MarkLogic platform.
Schema Modeling
Model your data against externally defined schemas, including semantic knowledge models from Progress Semaphore to add and define relationships between entities.
Model Exploration
Query the new documents using an SQL view generated based on the uploaded JSON or XML schema, providing detailed information for the relationships between entities.
Knowledge Graphs
Enhance your knowledge graph with structured semantic data, enriching your graph’s ability to handle complex relationships, queries and reasoning.
Smart Collector
The Smart Collector feature in Data Hub 6.2 hashes documents as they are loaded to identify previously loaded documents and avoid reprocessing them, saving processing time. For example, if you are loading 600 documents into MarkLogic Server, the Smart Collector will successfully identify and skip previously loaded documents, reducing the total number of documents processed in one go.
Document Hashing
The Smart Collector hashes documents as they are loaded into the Data Hub. This allows the system to recognize if a document has been previously loaded, preventing duplicate processing.
Processing Efficiency
The Smart Collector saves significant processing time by only processing new documents. This is particularly useful when dealing with large sets of documents where some may overlap.
Flexible Settings
The Smart Collector can be enabled or disabled globally or for individual steps. This flexibility allows users to tailor the feature to their specific needs and workflows.
Enhanced Knowledge Graph Visualization
A cleaner, crisper presentation of semantic data models helps you intuitively explore extremely large, connected data and draw insight faster. Now you can now zoom in on individual nodes in the Explore Module and the screen will automatically remove the "noise" around your data point of interest so you can focus on the smallest detail. The new entity grouping feature helps you organize your data landscape into data subsets with easy dragging and dropping, while decluttering your view and simplifying the complexity of the graph.
Zoom In and Out
Navigate your knowledge graph and expand individual data points to declutter the view of your hairy graph dataset.
Draw relationships
Connect nodes in your knowledge graph with a simple draw motion directly in the graph visualization UI.
Entity grouping
Arrange data points in your knowledge graphs in clusters with easy dragging and dropping to organize and simplify your view.
Global Settings
You can now centrally manage Provenance, Entity validation and Target permission settings through the Global Settings menu in the MarkLogic Data Hub. The new Global Settings menu allows you to set and configure properties to apply across the entire application.
Provenance
You can choose between coarse-grained, fine-grained or no lineage.
Entity validation
Part of the curation flow, the validation setting enables you to decide how strictly you want to force data to conform to the entity definition.
Target permissions
Apply to the output of every step that doesn't have its own target permissions setting. For example, you can give users permission to the mapped data only but not the raw data in the staging database.
Debug Manager
You can now perform diagnostics on the MarkLogic Data Hub when it does not behave as expected. The new debug task allows you to initiate a system log displaying all current activity so you can quickly see the most recent jobs, connection status to the application server as well as the latest created user roles and entities.
