Upstash MCP

The Upstash MCP gives your agent the ability to interact with your Upstash account, such as:

Redis

• "Create a new Redis in us-east-1"

• "List my databases that have high memory usage"

• "Give me the schema of how users are stored in redis"

• "Create a backup and clear db"

• "Give me the spikes in throughput during the last 7 days"

QStash & Workflow

• "Check the logs and figure out what is wrong"

• "Find me failed workflows of user @ysfk_0x"

• "Restart the failed workflow run started in last 2 hours"

• "Check DLQ and give me a summary"

Usage

Quick Setup

First, get your Upstash credentials:

• Email: Your Upstash account email

• API Key: Get it from Upstash Console → Account → API Keys

Add this to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "upstash": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@upstash/mcp-server@latest",
        "--email",
        "YOUR_EMAIL",
        "--api-key",
        "YOUR_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport stdio upstash -- npx -y @upstash/mcp-server@latest --email YOUR_EMAIL --api-key YOUR_API_KEY

Streamable HTTP Transport (for web applications)

Start your MCP server with the http transport:

npx @upstash/mcp-server@latest --transport http --port 3000 --email YOUR_EMAIL --api-key YOUR_API_KEY

And configure your MCP client to use the HTTP transport:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "upstash": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Telemetry

The server sends anonymous runtime/platform info to Upstash with each request. To opt out, add --disable-telemetry to your args.

Troubleshooting

See the troubleshooting guide in the official MCP documentation. You can also reach out to us at Discord for support.

Development

Clone the project and run:

bun i
bun run watch

This will continuously build the project and watch for changes.

For testing, you can create a .env file in the same directory as the project with the following content:

UPSTASH_EMAIL=<UPSTASH_EMAIL>
UPSTASH_API_KEY=<UPSTASH_API_KEY>

To install the local MCP Server to Claude Code, run:

claude mcp add --transport stdio upstash -- bun --watch dist/index.js --debug

To view the logs from the MCP Server in real time, run:

bun run logs
