Redis’s official MCP server for storing, searching and managing Redis data from an agent.

The Redis MCP server is Redis’s official, MIT-licensed server that lets agents store, search and manage data in Redis using natural language. It runs locally over stdio, installed from PyPI via uvx or run in Docker, and connects with redis:// or rediss:// URL credentials; Azure Managed Redis connections can use Entra ID. Its README shows setup for Claude Desktop and Copilot in VS Code.

Tools cover strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, pub/sub, streams and JSON, plus vector index management and search through the query engine, server info, and a Redis docs search tool.
