# Redis MCP Installation Guide This guide will help you install and configure the Redis MCP server for managing Redis database operations. ## Requirements - Node.js and npm installed - Access to a Redis instance - Local configuration directory ## Installation Steps 1. Install the Redis MCP server using one of these methods: ```bash # Using npx npx @gongrzhe/server-redis-mcp@1.0.0 redis://your-redis-host:port # Global installation npm install -g @gongrzhe/server-redis-mcp@1.0.0 ``` 2. Configure the MCP server in your settings file: - For VSCode Cline: `~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json` - For Claude desktop: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS) or appropriate path for other OS ```json { "mcpServers": { "redis": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "@gongrzhe/server-redis-mcp@1.0.0", "redis://localhost:6379" ] } } } ``` 3. After configuration, verify the connection: ``` 1. Use list command to check Redis connectivity 2. Try setting and getting a test key-value pair 3. Verify proper access permissions ``` ## Troubleshooting If you encounter any issues during installation, check for: 1. Connection errors: - Verify Redis server is running and accessible - Check host and port configuration - Confirm network connectivity and firewall settings 2. Permission issues: - Verify Redis authentication requirements - Check Redis ACL configurations - Ensure proper connection string format 3. Configuration problems: - Validate JSON syntax in config files - Confirm correct file paths and permissions - Check Node.js and npm versions ## Security Notes - Use strong Redis authentication if enabled - Configure proper network security - Regularly update Redis MCP server version - Follow Redis security best practices - Keep connection strings secure ## Usage After installation, you can use these tools: - Set key-value pairs with optional expiration - Get values by key - Delete keys (single or multiple) - List keys matching patterns ## Available Tools 1. set - Purpose: Set a Redis key-value pair - Parameters: - key (string): Redis key - value (string): Value to store - expireSeconds (number, optional): Expiration time 2. get - Purpose: Retrieve value by key - Parameters: - key (string): Redis key to retrieve 3. delete - Purpose: Remove keys from Redis - Parameters: - key (string or string[]): Key(s) to delete 4. list - Purpose: List matching Redis keys - Parameters: - pattern (string, optional): Match pattern
