Redis is an MCP server that enables LLMs to interact with Redis key-value stores using standard tools.
To use it, add Redis to the mcpServers section of your claude_desktop_config.json. It can also be run via Docker or NPX as shown in the docs.
Key features include set, get, delete, and list operations for key-value pairs, support for optional key expiration, and easy integration with Claude Desktop and Docker.
Use cases involve storing user session data, caching for faster data access, and managing real-time application data feeds.
The default Redis URL is redis://localhost:6379. It can be run in a Docker container and is open source under the MIT License.
