Mcp Redis
Inspect Redis keys, structures, streams, and INFO from your coding agent when debugging caches, queues, or session storage—read-only over MCP.
Overview
mcp-redis is a Build-phase MCP server that offers read-only Redis key and structure inspection—including streams and INFO—for AI agents.
What is this MCP server?
- Read keys and inspect hashes, lists, sets, and sorted sets
- Read Redis streams without write commands
- Fetch server INFO for memory and health context
- Read-only design to limit accidental FLUSH or destructive ops
- npm stdio @infoinlet/mcp-redis v0.1.1
- Package @infoinlet/mcp-redis at version 0.1.1
- Supports keys, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, streams, and INFO read paths
- stdio transport in MCP server manifest
What problem does it solve?
Cache or queue bugs need live Redis state, but pasting CLI output into the agent is slow and you do not want the model issuing write commands.
Who is it for?
Solo builders debugging Redis-backed caches, sessions, or queues from Claude Code or Cursor with read-only MCP access.
Skip if: Workflows that require the agent to SET, publish admin commands, or mutate production data without human approval.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Once configured, your agent can read Redis data structures and INFO safely to narrow down integration and backend issues.
- Agent-readable Redis keys and typed structure values
- Stream and INFO visibility for integration debugging
- Safer live datastore context than unconstrained redis-cli in chat
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Redis is almost always integrated during backend build and fix cycles before you rely on it for scale-up monitoring in Operate. This is an integrations MCP: it connects the agent to Redis as infrastructure your app already uses.
How it compares
Read-only Redis MCP connector, not a Redis hosting product or cache design skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is mcp-redis for?
Developers shipping apps that use Redis who want their coding agent to inspect live data structures without write access.
When should I use mcp-redis?
Use it during backend integration and bugfixing when you need to verify keys, list lengths, stream entries, or server INFO alongside your code changes.
How do I add mcp-redis to my agent?
Install @infoinlet/mcp-redis, add it as a stdio MCP server, and configure Redis host, port, password, or TLS settings your deployment requires.
