Redis MCP Server

What is Redis MCP Server?

Redis MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Redis operations as MCP tools. Built with Spring Boot and Spring AI, it uses SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport to allow AI assistants and MCP clients to interact with a Redis database through standard key-value commands.

How to use Redis MCP Server?

Prerequisites: JDK 17+, Maven 3.6+, and a running Redis server. Build with mvn clean package and run with java -jar target/redis-mcp-server-{version}.jar. Configure the Redis connection via the redis.url system property (default: redis://localhost:6379). The server exposes four MCP tools: set, get, delete, and list. For use in Cursor, add the tool configuration pointing to http://localhost:8080/sse.

Key features of Redis MCP Server

• Redis key-value operations (set, get, delete)
• Pattern-based key listing (list)
• Optional key expiration time on set
• SSE-based MCP implementation with Spring Boot and Spring AI
• Lettuce Redis Client for non-blocking Redis access
• Configurable Redis connection via system property

Use cases of Redis MCP Server

• AI assistants reading or writing data to a Redis cache via MCP tools
• Remote management of Redis keys using pattern matching and expiration
• Integrating Redis operations into MCP‑enabled IDEs like Cursor
• Prototyping Redis interactions through a tool‑based interface
