      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "--experimental-fetch",

Setup steps

  1. 1Open Cursor → Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly).
  2. 2Paste the Redis Cloud API MCP Server config below into the "mcpServers" object.
  3. 3Fill in placeholder secrets, then save.
  4. 4Cursor reloads MCP servers automatically — check Settings → MCP for a green status dot.
  5. 5Ask Cursor to use one of Redis Cloud API MCP Server's tools to confirm it's connected.

Before you start

  • Valid Redis Cloud API credentials (API Key and Secret Key)
  • Node.js v22.14.0 and npm 10.9.2 (nvm recommended) to build the project, or Docker to run the containerized image
