What it does
Redis's own general-purpose MCP server, written in Python and published on PyPI as redis-mcp-server. An AI client starts it locally over stdio with uvx, Docker or from source and points it at a Redis instance by URL or host settings. Its tools read and write strings with expiry, hashes (including vector embeddings), lists, sets, sorted sets, streams with consumer groups, pub/sub channels and JSON documents, manage vector indexes and run vector search, report server information, and search the Redis documentation. Azure Managed Redis users can sign in with Entra ID. Write access can be limited with a Redis ACL user.
