Add to your client

Copy the config for your MCP client and paste it into its config file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "redis-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "redis-mcp-server@latest",
        "redis-mcp-server",
        "--url",
        "redis://<user>:<password>@<host>:6379/0"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Before you start

• Python 3.14+ and the uv package manager (uvx is used to run the published package)
• A reachable Redis instance (local, Redis Cloud, or Azure Managed Redis) and its connection URL or host/port
• Redis credentials if your instance requires auth — a password and/or ACL username; for Azure Managed Redis you can use EntraID/Managed Identity instead
• For vector search / JSON tools, a Redis with the Query Engine and JSON modules (e.g. Redis Stack or Redis 8+)

When to use it

• Use it when you want an agent to cache and retrieve values in Redis using plain language instead of raw commands
• Use it when building agent memory or session state on top of Redis hashes, JSON, or strings
• Use it when you need vector storage and similarity search for RAG, using Redis as the vector database
• Use it when working with streams and consumer groups for event/task queues from an AI workflow
• Use it when you want quick introspection of a Redis instance (keys, data structures, server info) during debugging

Quick setup

1. 1Ensure Python 3.14+ and uv are installed
2. 2Run the server with uvx: uvx --from redis-mcp-server@latest redis-mcp-server --url redis://localhost:6379/0 (or install via pip)
3. 3Provide connection details via --url / REDIS_URL or REDIS_HOST/REDIS_PORT/REDIS_USERNAME/REDIS_PWD, plus TLS or EntraID options if needed
4. 4Add the command to your MCP client config (type: stdio)
5. 5Restart your MCP client and verify by asking it to set and get a test key
