What the Redis MCP server can do

From Redis's own MCP documentation.

Authentication

Connects with Redis credentials: a --url such as redis://user:pass@host:6379/0 (rediss:// for TLS), or --host, --port, --username and --password, or environment variables REDIS_HOST, REDIS_PORT, REDIS_USERNAME and REDIS_PWD. EntraID authentication is supported for Azure Managed Redis.

Options

  • Run from PyPI with uvx --from redis-mcp-server@latest redis-mcp-server --url redis://localhost:6379/0
  • Docker image docker.io/mcp/redis
  • TLS options: --ssl, --ssl-ca-path, --ssl-keyfile, --ssl-certfile, --ssl-cert-reqs, --ssl-ca-certs
  • --cluster-mode for Redis Cluster
  • Use a Redis ACL user to restrict access, for example a read-only user with +@read -@write

Tools

string tools (set and get with expiration)hash tools (including vector embeddings)list toolsset toolssorted set toolspub/sub toolsstreams tools (including consumer groups)JSON toolsdocs (search Redis documentation)query engine tools (vector indexes and vector search)server management (database info)

Good to know

  • Supports only the stdio transport; the README says Streamable HTTP will be added later
  • The main branch is under active development; the README recommends a tagged release when running from GitHub
