Redis Cloud API MCP Server

Redis Cloud API MCP Server

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized protocol for managing context between large language models (LLMs) and external systems. This repository provides an MCP Server for Redis Cloud's API, allowing you to manage your Redis Cloud resources using natural language.

This lets you use Claude Desktop, or any MCP Client, to use natural language to accomplish things on your Redis Cloud account, e.g.:

• "Create a new Redis database in AWS"
• "What are my current subscriptions?"
• "Help me choose the right Redis database for my e-commerce application"

Claude Desktop

To run the MCP server with Claude Desktop, follow these steps:

1. Build the package:
   npm run build
2. Add the server to Claude Desktop:
   • Open Claude Desktop settings
   • Navigate to the Developer tab (make sure you have enabled Developer Mode)
   • Click on "Edit config"
   • Open the claude_desktop_config.json file in your text editor and add the following configuration:
   { "mcpServers": { "mcp-redis-cloud": { "command": "node", "args": ["--experimental-fetch", "<absolute_path_to_project_root>/dist/index.js"], "env": { "API_KEY": "<redis_cloud_api_key>", "SECRET_KEY": "<redis_cloud_api_secret_key>" } } } }
3. Close Claude Desktop and restart it. The server should now be available in the MCP Servers section.

Cursor IDE

To run the MCP server with Cursor IDE, follow these steps:

1. Build the package:
   npm run build
2. Add the server to Cursor:
   • Open Cursor Settings
   • Navigate to the MCP tab
   • Click on "Add new global MCP Server"
   • Update the automatically opened mcp.json file with the following configuration:
   { "mcpServers": { "mcp-redis-cloud": { "command": "node", "args": ["--experimental-fetch", "<absolute_path_to_project_root>/dist/index.js"], "env": { "API_KEY": "<redis_cloud_api_key>", "SECRET_KEY": "<redis_cloud_api_secret_key>" } } } }
3. Restart Cursor. The server should now be available in the MCP Servers section.

Development

Prerequisites

1. nvm (Node Version Manager)
2. Node v22.14.0
3. npm 10.9.2

Getting Started

1. Install dependencies:
   nvm use v22.14.0 npm install
2. Build the project:
