Redis MCP server

Installing Redis

Runs on demand via npx. Nothing to install globally.

The upstream reference server is archived. It still installs and runs, but is no longer maintained. Note the npm package `mcp-server-redis` is an unrelated squatted name, use the scoped package above.

claude mcp add redis -- npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-redis

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "redis": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-redis"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Not sure where the config file lives, or it isn't picking the server up? Config paths for every client.

What it does

Connects an assistant to Redis for key-value and cache operations, so it can inspect or update state during a task.

Like any MCP server, Redis plugs into MCP-compatible assistants (such as Claude and other clients) so the model can use it as a tool , no custom integration code required.
