About
Talk to a Redis instance: GET/SET keys, list keys by pattern, inspect TTLs, and use standard data-structure commands (hashes, lists, sorted sets). Handy for cache inspection, feature-flag stores, and lightweight queues.
Example tools
Illustrative tool names — the actual tool set is defined by the server at runtime.
query
Run a read-only SQL query
list_tables
List tables in the connected database
describe_table
Return column info for a table

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Redis MCP.
- What is the Redis MCP?
- The Redis MCP allows you to interact with a Redis instance. It can be used to get and set keys, list keys by pattern, inspect Time-To-Live (TTL) values, and use standard Redis data-structure commands such as hashes, lists, and sorted sets.
- What are common use cases for the Redis MCP?
- Typical applications include cache inspection, managing feature flag stores, and implementing lightweight queues. Its capabilities are well-suited for scenarios requiring direct Redis interaction within an MCP client.
- How can I install the Redis MCP in an MCP client like Cline?
- Installation in clients like Cline typically involves adding the Redis MCP to your client's configuration. The specific steps may vary depending on the client, but it generally requires referencing the MCP's slug or repository.
- Does the Redis MCP require any authentication credentials?
- No, the Redis MCP (Community Provider) does not require an API key, OAuth, or other authentication credentials. It connects directly to a Redis instance via standard I/O (stdio) transport.
- What are the licensing terms for the Redis MCP?
- The Redis MCP is community-provided and open-source. For licensing details, refer to its repository at https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/redis. The underlying Redis server's license should also be considered.
- Can I use the Redis MCP to manage complex Redis transactions?
- The Redis MCP supports basic GET/SET and data-structure commands. While it handles many common tasks, complex multi-key transactions or advanced Redis modules may require direct Redis client libraries outside of the MCP's current scope.
