Install

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "RedisMCPServer": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "redis-mcp-server@latest", "redis-mcp-server", "--url", "redis://localhost:6379/0"]
    }
  }
}

Requires uv. Use the rediss:// scheme for TLS.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The server gives the agent tools for all core Redis structures: strings with expiry, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, streams with consumer groups and JSON documents. It supports pub/sub, vector index management and vector search. One tool reports server info, another searches the Redis docs. Connection is set via URL, CLI flags or environment variables, with TLS and EntraID sign-in for Azure Managed Redis.

Who it is for. For developers who keep caches, queues, sessions or vectors in Redis and want to work with them from an agent.

Good fit when

  • You need to inspect or edit Redis data without typing commands
  • Your agent needs Redis-backed memory or a queue
  • You need to create a vector index and test search

Not a fit when

  • You would expose production Redis without ACL restrictions
  • Your client supports remote servers only: stdio is the only transport for now

Example request

Store this session in Redis with a one hour expiry

Limitations

Stdio only. Needs a running, reachable Redis. Local development requires Python 3.14. The vendor recommends a dedicated Redis ACL user to limit permissions.

How to disable. Remove the server entry from your MCP client config.

README in short

The README lists tool groups per Redis data type plus tools for docs, vector search and server info. Install via uvx from PyPI, straight from GitHub, from source or with Docker. It documents connection options, TLS, ACL and EntraID, with examples for Claude Desktop, VS Code, OpenAI Agents SDK and Augment. MIT licensed.

FAQ

How do I give the agent read-only access?

Create a read-only Redis ACL user and pass its credentials to the server.

Is there a Docker image?

Yes, the official mcp/redis image, which the client config can launch.
