Connection Modes
🖥️ Local Mode
Connect to any Weaviate instance running on your machine or local network. No authentication headers are added.
http://localhost:8083
Works with Docker, local binaries, or a proxy like
http://localhost:8787.
☁️ Cluster Mode (Weaviate Cloud)
Enter your cluster REST host and API key. Authentication is handled automatically.
