## Configuration
### Usage with Claude Desktop
To use this server with the Claude Desktop app, add the following configuration to the "mcpServers" section of your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"redis": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"@gongrzhe/server-redis-mcp@1.0.0",
"redis://localhost:6379"
]
}
}
}
```
Alternatively, you can use the node command directly if you have the package installed:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"redis": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"path/to/build/index.js",
"redis://10.1.210.223:6379"
]
}
}
}
```
### Docker Usage
When using Docker:
* For macOS, use `host.docker.internal` if the Redis server is running on the host network
* Redis URL can be specified as an argument, defaults to "redis://localhost:6379"
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"redis": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"mcp/redis",
"redis://host.docker.internal:6379"
]
}
}
}
```
