Questions

What is the Redis MCP server?

Natural language interface designed for agentic applications to manage and search data in Redis. It is made by @redis and listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.redis/mcp-redis. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI apps like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor use outside tools.

How do I add Redis to Claude?

In Claude Code, run: claude mcp add mcp-redis -- uvx redis-mcp-server==0.5.1

How do I add Redis to ChatGPT?

ChatGPT only connects to remote MCP servers, and Redis runs on your own computer. Use it from Claude, Cursor or another app that runs local servers.

How do I add Redis to Cursor?

Open Cursor settings, go to MCP, choose "Add new MCP server" (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json) and add: { "mcpServers": { "mcp-redis": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "redis-mcp-server==0.5.1" ] } } }

Does Redis work right now?

It runs on your own computer, so it works once you install it. There is no remote server for us to check.
