Vinkius supports streamable HTTP and SSE.
* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
What is the Upstash Redis MCP Server?
The Upstash Redis MCP Server gives AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor direct access to Upstash Redis via 7 tools. Equip your AI to directly query, manage, and manipulate key-value data structures inside your serverless Upstash Redis databases. Powered by the Vinkius - no API keys, no infrastructure, connect in under 2 minutes.
Built-in capabilities (7)
Tools for your AI Agents to operate Upstash Redis
Ask your AI agent "List all active Redis keys associated with app sessions." and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 7 tools connected to real Upstash Redis data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by the Vinkius - your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.
Why teams choose Vinkius
One subscription gives you access to thousands of MCP servers - and you can deploy your own to the Vinkius Edge. Your AI agents only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure and security, zero maintenance.

Upstash Redis MCP Server capabilities
7 toolsProvide a comma-separated list of keys. Deletes one or more keys from Redis
Retrieves the string value stored at a key
Retrieves the data type and TTL of a key
Use negative numbers to decrement. Increments or decrements a numeric counter at a key
Avoid broad patterns like "*" on large databases. Scans for keys matching a glob pattern
Pings the Redis instance to verify connectivity
You can specify expiry in seconds. Sets a string value at a key with an optional TTL
What the Upstash Redis MCP Server unlocks
Connect your Upstash Redis serverless database securely to your conversational AI agent via their REST API. Activating this integration grants your AI the technical autonomy to function as a responsive database administrator, enabling it to scan live keys, read raw datastore strings, set temporal expiration values, and even debug in real-time straight from your chat or IDE terminal.
What you can do
- Read & Write Values — Fetch the exact string configuration of a stored key (
get), or instruct the AI to inject a new value (set) complete with Time-To-Live (TTL) expiration limits. - Data Structure Discovery — Perform pattern-based scans across your database to track down dynamically generated keys and inspect their underlying structures or lifespans (
list_keys,get_key_info). - Manage Counters — Safely increment or decrement numerical keys dynamically, perfect for managing rate limits, operational counters, or user session metrics directly during troubleshooting flows.
- Maintain Health — Ping the cluster instance for responsive status checks and remove (
delete) specific keys or cache fragments completely.
How it works
1. Authorize the Upstash Redis MCP component in your active module extensions.
2. Obtain both the REST URL and REST Token connected to your intended database from your Upstash console and submit them in the configuration fields.
3. Chat natively with your AI to prompt a scan of cache items like 'session:*' or adjust active TTLs on a throttling profile.
Who is this for?
- Backend Developers — Verify cache hits, clear outdated session states intuitively, or seed temporary mock parameters rapidly without launching specialized desktop database clients like RedisInsight.
- DevOps Engineers — Inspect the rate-limiting structures or increment manual counter matrices safely during live-site debugging incidents.
- System Architects — Audit temporal key lifespans testing new eviction behaviors immediately as they write operational code logic.
Frequently asked questions about the Upstash Redis MCP Server
Where do I locate my Upstash REST URL and Token?
Sign into your Upstash management console and load your specific Redis cluster. Scroll down visually on the main 'Details' page until you hit the 'REST API' section block. You will see both your 'UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL' and the alphanumeric 'UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN' ready to be copied.
Can the agent interact with standard Redis connections (redis://)?
No, this specific MCP connection module specifically utilizes Upstash's serverless HTTP/REST endpoints. It bypasses conventional persistent TCP Redis sockets to provide highly secure and connection-agnostic read/write integrations optimized for AI servers.
Are there limitations to wildcard patterns when doing list_keys?
Yes, standard Redis operational caveats apply. Searching broadly via a '' (asterisk) scan across massively populated environments isn't recommended. Aim to request the AI narrow down patterns, like 'session:' instead of blank wildcards.
