FAQ

›How do I install the Redis MCP server in Claude Code?

Run: claude mcp add redis-upstash -e UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN='<upstash-redis-rest-token>' -e UPSTASH_REDIS_TCP_URL='<upstash-redis-tcp-url>' -- npx -y @upstash/redis-mcp. For Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop and Windsurf, use the install tabs above.

›Does Redis require an API key?

Yes. It expects UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN, UPSTASH_REDIS_TCP_URL, of which 2 are secrets.

›Can I use Redis as a remote (hosted) MCP server?

No hosted endpoint is published; it runs locally over stdio.

›Is Redis in the official MCP registry?

Yes, as io.github.upstash/redis-mcp.
