CACHE AND DATA OPERATIONS / Redis
Redis Cloud API MCP Server
Manages a Redis Cloud account through the Redis Cloud API from an MCP client: account and payment-method lookup, Pro and Essential subscriptions, plans, regions and task tracking.
“MCP Server for interacting with Redis Cloud API”
01 / THE REASONING
Why this made the selection.
- Published in Redis's own repository; the README at this commit lists its tools by area (account, Pro and Essential subscriptions, database modules, regions, plans, tasks), and the LICENSE is MIT, Copyright (c) 2025 Redis.
- It manages Redis Cloud subscriptions through the Redis Cloud API, which the existing redis record (mcp-redis, working with data inside a database) does not.
02 / THE REVIEW RECORD
What we actually inspected.
Source review has boundaries.
A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge.
Material inspected
- README.md at 015aaa6bfeec87198a08eaae00352348d4db4b72
- LICENSE, package.json and src/index.ts at the same commit
Our findings
- src/index.ts connects through StdioServerTransport and imports account, subscription, task and database tool sets.
- package.json names mcp-redis-cloud 1.0.0, license MIT, with bin redis-cloud-api-mcp-tool; the README's development section pins Node v22.14.0 and npm 10.9.2.
Not established by this review
- npm build or Docker build
- Any Redis Cloud API call
The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior.
03 / PUT IT TO WORK
Connect a server deliberately.
- The README builds from a clone with npm run build, then registers node dist/index.js in the client with API_KEY and SECRET_KEY; a Docker build is the alternative. It was not run.
- Use a Redis Cloud API key whose account role matches what the agent may change. Do not commit the key or secret.
Before you start
- Node.js and npm, or Docker
- A Redis Cloud API key and secret key
Documented configuration example
Use the client and authentication context described in the setup guidance. Configuration formats vary between hosts.
