Redis MCP: Documentation
Updated:
Connection
uvx --from redis-mcp-server@latest redis-mcp-server --url redis://user:pass@host:6379/0 (stdio). Auth is a Redis connection string; Azure Managed Redis additionally supports EntraID sign-in. A Docker image and ready configs for Claude Desktop/Cursor are in the README.
Tools
Full natural-language access to Redis data structures: strings (write/read with TTL), hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets (leaderboards, priority queues), pub/sub (publish, channel and pattern subscriptions), streams (add/read/consumer groups), JSON documents and vector search (index creation, similarity search) — plus a server-info tool for the database itself. Exact tool names are in the repo README.
Agent flow
"Save this session for 30 minutes", "push this event onto the stream and acknowledge it", "find similar documents in the vector index", "how much memory is the database using right now?".
Pricing
The MCP server is free (open source). Redis itself is free self-hosted; Redis Cloud and Azure Managed Redis are billed per the provider's plans.
