Use names from the project instructions, separated by commas. Enter names only, never secret values.

03 / Add the configuration

Source: generated from public install instructions

claude mcp add --transport stdio 'mcp-redis' -- 'uvx' '--from' 'git+https://github.com/redis/mcp-redis.git@0.2.0' 'redis-mcp-server' '--url' 'redis://localhost:6379/0'

Run in your terminal after replacing any placeholders.

04 / Check it in your client

Open your client’s MCP settings and confirm the server connects and lists its tools. A copied configuration does not confirm a working connection.

Security profile

Claimed and verified servers get a weekly static scan that shows what the code can reach: external services, environment variables, shell commands, agent configuration folders, plus any dependencies with known advisories. Claim this listing to get one. How the security profile works

6 of 6 tools

Documented tools (6)

From project documentation. A server handshake does not verify each tool’s description or behavior.

docs

tool to search Redis documentation, tutorials, and best practices using natural language questions (backed by the MCPDOCSSEARCHURL HTTP API).

hash

tools to store field-value pairs within a single key. The hash can store vector embeddings. Useful for representing objects with multiple attributes, user profiles, or product information where fields can be accessed individually.

list

tools with common operations to append and pop items. Useful for queues, message brokers, or maintaining a list of most recent actions.

set

tools to add, remove and list set members. Useful for tracking unique values like user IDs or tags, and for performing set operations like intersection.

streams

tools to add, read, delete, create and destroy consumer groups, and acknowledge processed entries in data streams. Useful for event sourcing, activity feeds, and worker-based event processing with Redis Streams consumer groups.

string

tools to set, get strings with expiration. Useful for storing simple configuration values, session data, or caching responses.
