Redis MCP Server
Official Redis MCP server: natural-language access to Redis data for agents.
About
The official Redis MCP server (redis/mcp-redis). It exposes Redis operations to agents — key inspection, search via RediSearch, and data-structure operations — installable via uvx or pip install redis-mcp-server.
Requires a reachable Redis server. As with any database MCP server, scope the Redis credentials to the minimum needed: agents with write access can destroy data.
What it can do
- Redis key/data-structure operations for agents
- RediSearch-powered natural-language queries
- uvx and pip install paths verified
- Works with Redis Stack modules
Setup
- Run a Redis server (Docker or cloud).
- Add to your MCP client config: command
uvx, args["redis-mcp-server"](orpip install redis-mcp-server), with your Redis URL in env. - Restart the client and verify with a read command.
Prerequisites
An MCP-compatible client; a reachable Redis server.
Use cases
Works with
Trust score — 7/10
Scored 7/10 (metrics tier). Official Redis project, MIT, actively pushed (Oct 2026), install paths verified in the README. But it is young (~634 stars, 6 releases/12mo) and hands agents direct data-store access — credential scoping is the operator's job. Thinner independent coverage than the reference servers, so metrics tier.
