What it is
Jina covers the full context pipeline an agent needs to read the live web: reader, embeddings, reranker and an MCP server behind one key. Elastic completed its acquisition on October 9, 2025 (per Jina's own about page), so these APIs now sit inside the Elastic retrieval stack; an on-prem deployment toolkit is published under the jina-ai org.
