Redis MCP Overview

The redis-mcp MCP server lets AI agents execute Redis commands against Upstash Redis over HTTP/REST or TCP. Its command tool supports pipelines, atomic transactions, arbitrary Redis commands, and optional database selection. A second tool searches Upstash Redis documentation through Context7, including guidance for features such as the SEARCH.* command family. Use it when an MCP client needs controlled access to one or more Upstash databases through a stdio or HTTP server.

Primary Use Cases for Redis MCP:
  • Execute Redis commands from an MCP-compatible coding client
  • Run batches of Redis operations as pipelines
  • Apply related Redis writes atomically
  • Query Redis documentation for unfamiliar commands
