Overview

What is Redis MCP Server?

Redis MCP Server is a natural language interface that enables AI agents to manage and search data in Redis. It integrates with any MCP (Model Context Protocol) client, allowing developers to build agentic workflows that interact with Redis using plain English commands like “store the entire conversation in a stream” or “cache this item.”

How to use Redis MCP Server?

Install via PyPI (pip install redis-mcp-server) or run directly with uvx. Configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) by adding a JSON entry with the command uvx --from redis-mcp-server@latest redis-mcp-server --url redis://localhost:6379/0. Connection details can also be provided via environment variables (host, port, password, SSL options). The server uses the stdio transport.
