What is DiceDB MCP?

DiceDB MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI applications (hosts/clients) to interact with DiceDB database servers. It uses the DiceDB Go SDK to communicate with DiceDB and provides a set of tools for basic key-value operations.

How to use DiceDB MCP?

Download the appropriate binary from the releases page, install via go install github.com/pottekkat/dicedb-mcp@latest (requires Go 1.24+), or build from source. Then configure your MCP host (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor) by adding the dicedb-mcp server entry to its configuration file with the path to the binary.

Key features of DiceDB MCP

• PING a DiceDB server to check connectivity.
• ECHO a message through the DiceDB server.
• GET a value from DiceDB by key.
• SET a key-value pair in DiceDB.
• DEL one or more keys from DiceDB.
• INCR and DECR integer values of keys.
