FAQ from Redis Cloud API MCP Server

What are the prerequisites?

Valid Redis Cloud API credentials (API Key and Secret Key) are required. For direct Node usage, Node v22.14.0 and npm 10.9.2 are needed; otherwise, Docker can be used.

How do I authenticate?

Authentication is done via the API_KEY and SECRET_KEY environment variables, passed to the server either in the MCP client configuration or as Docker environment variables.

How do I handle paginated responses?

Paginated responses (e.g., for Essential subscriptions) require multiple calls to retrieve all data. The server returns results in pages.

How do I track long‑running operations?

Long‑running operations return a task ID. You can monitor progress using the get_tasks and get_task_by_id tools.

Can I run the server without Docker?

Yes. Build the project with npm run build and run it with node --experimental-fetch dist/index.js, setting the API_KEY and SECRET_KEY environment variables.
