Redis MCP Server

Redis MCP Server is a reference Model Context Protocol server, originally published under the modelcontextprotocol organization, that lets any MCP-capable LLM client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, Windsurf, custom agents) read and write against a Redis key-value store using standardized tool calls. It exposes four straightforward operations wrapped as MCP tools: set (with optional TTL), get, delete (single or multiple keys), and list (KEYS-style pattern search, defaulting to all keys). Under the hood it uses the official node-redis client and adds exponential-backoff retry logic (up to five attempts, 1s to 30s) so transient connection blips do not immediately fail a tool call. Configuration is a single Redis URL argument (redis://host:port), which makes it trivial to point at a local dev instance, a Docker container, or a managed Redis on the same network. Distribution is via NPX or a prebuilt Docker image, and the repo ships one-click install buttons for VS Code and VS Code Insiders. This particular implementation was archived by Anthropic on 29 May 2025 and moved to the servers-archived monorepo; the community-maintained successor lives at redis/mcp-redis (Python, with richer data-type coverage including hashes, streams, JSON, and vector search). The archived server remains useful as a minimal, auditable reference for teams building their own MCP integrations or wiring an agent to a cache/session store where only basic KV semantics are needed.
