mcp.tc/i/redislisting.about
Connects an assistant to a Redis database to manage and search its data. It covers strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, JSON documents, streams with consumer groups, and pub/sub. It also has query engine tools for vector indexes and search, a server information tool, and a docs search tool.
Runs locally over stdio as the PyPI package redis-mcp-server, started with uvx. Point the --url argument at your instance, using redis:// or rediss:// for TLS. Credentials go in the URL if your instance needs them. No separate sign-in to the server is needed.
listing.can
- Set and get strings with expiration
- Store and read hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets
- Add, read and acknowledge entries in streams and consumer groups
- Store and edit JSON documents by path
- Publish and subscribe to pub/sub channels
- Manage vector indexes and run vector search
- Search Redis documentation and get database server info

Claude Code
- Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport stdio redis -- uvx --from redis-mcp-server@latest redis-mcp-server --url redis://localhost:6379/0- Start Claude Code and type
/mcp. redis should show as connected.
Add --scope user to make it available in every project.
Claude Desktop
- Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config. It opens
claude_desktop_config.json. Add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"redis": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"--from",
"redis-mcp-server@latest",
"redis-mcp-server",
"--url",
"redis://localhost:6379/0"
]
}
}
}- Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.
Needs uv (Python) on your computer. The file lives in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS and %APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows.
Cursor
Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):
{
"mcpServers": {
"redis": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"--from",
"redis-mcp-server@latest",
"redis-mcp-server",
"--url",
"redis://localhost:6379/0"
]
}
}
}Needs uv (Python) on your computer.
VS Code
Install in VS Code a11y.new_tab
Or from a terminal:
code --add-mcp '{"name":"redis","type":"stdio","command":"uvx","args":["--from","redis-mcp-server@latest","redis-mcp-server","--url","redis://localhost:6379/0"]}'Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"redis": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"--from",
"redis-mcp-server@latest",
"redis-mcp-server",
"--url",
"redis://localhost:6379/0"
]
}
}
}Needs uv (Python) on your computer.
Devin Desktop
- Add it to
~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json(macOS and Linux) or%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json(Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"redis": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"--from",
"redis-mcp-server@latest",
"redis-mcp-server",
"--url",
"redis://localhost:6379/0"
]
}
}
}- Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.
Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf.
Codex
codex mcp add redis -- uvx --from redis-mcp-server@latest redis-mcp-server --url redis://localhost:6379/0Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:
[mcp_servers.redis]
command = "uvx"
args = ["--from", "redis-mcp-server@latest", "redis-mcp-server", "--url", "redis://localhost:6379/0"]Needs uv (Python) on your computer.
Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add redis uvx -- --from redis-mcp-server@latest redis-mcp-server --url redis://localhost:6379/0This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.
Any client
Most clients that start local servers accept this shape:
{
"mcpServers": {
"redis": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"--from",
"redis-mcp-server@latest",
"redis-mcp-server",
"--url",
"redis://localhost:6379/0"
]
}
}
}Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings, with the same command, args and env fields.

listing.faq
Can I paste mcp.tc/i/redis into my MCP client?
No. Redis runs on your own computer, started by your client, so it has no web address to connect to. The quick link is the page to share; the install command is uvx --from redis-mcp-server@latest redis-mcp-server --url redis://localhost:6379/0.
Does Redis need an API key?
No. It doesn't declare any keys or environment variables. It runs with your user account's permissions, so check what its tools can reach.
Is Redis a remote or a local server?
Local. Your client starts it as a process on your computer with uvx --from redis-mcp-server@latest redis-mcp-server --url redis://localhost:6379/0, which needs uv (Python).
What can Redis do?
You can set and get strings with expiration, store and read hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets and add, read and acknowledge entries in streams and consumer groups.
Which clients can use it?
Any client that starts local servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. claude.ai and ChatGPT only connect to remote servers.
Who wrote this page?
mcp.tc's robot read Redis's public metadata (its package and repository pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can't confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
