[See setup guidance ↓](#setup)[Original source ↗](https://github.com/redis/mcp-redis-cloud) SOURCE REVIEW Reviewed 2026-10-13 Evidence 4 linked sources Publisher Redis Licence [MIT ↗](https://github.com/redis/mcp-redis-cloud/blob/015aaa6bfeec87198a08eaae00352348d4db4b72/LICENSE) Revision 015aaa6bfeec [Read what was—and wasn’t—checked ↓](#review) “MCP Server for interacting with Redis Cloud API” [Redis · upstream description ↗](https://github.com/redis/mcp-redis-cloud/blob/015aaa6bfeec87198a08eaae00352348d4db4b72/package.json) Our analysis follows below. 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. ### A good fit for - Comparing Redis Cloud Essential plans and regions, or checking subscription and task status, from an agent - Listing the database modules and capabilities available in a Redis Cloud account with get_database_modules ### Weigh up before choosing - create_pro_subscription, create_essential_subscription and delete_essential_subscription create or delete billable subscriptions, and get_current_payment_methods lists the account's payment methods. - src/index.ts also registers Pro and Essentials database tool sets that the README's feature list does not describe; those tools were not enumerated. - The README runs the server from a local build or a locally built Docker image. Nothing was built or run. 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. [Upstream setup instructions ↗](https://github.com/redis/mcp-redis-cloud/blob/015aaa6bfeec87198a08eaae00352348d4db4b72/README.md) - 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. { "mcpServers": { "mcp-redis-cloud": { "command": "node", "args": [ "--experimental-fetch", "/dist/index.js" ], "env": { "API_KEY": "", "SECRET_KEY": "" } } } } Copy configuration ↗ ### Compatibility Claude Desktop · Cursor ### Implementation TypeScript ### Transports stdio ### Local process with a Redis Cloud API key and secret - Reads account details, payment methods, subscriptions, plans, regions and tasks - Creates Pro and Essential subscriptions and deletes Essential subscriptions ### Cost model MIT server source. Subscriptions it creates are billed by Redis; no rate was reviewed. 04 / FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE ## The source trail. Our notes are separate from the original resource.
