What is the Redis Vector MCP Server?
Connect your Redis database (equipped with the RediSearch module) to your AI agent, turning it into an advanced Vector Database administrator. Activating this integration grants your conversational interface the power to interact directly with your semantic search engine, enabling tasks like querying mathematical embeddings for similar records, configuring fresh vector indexes, and managing geometric data structures without needing dedicated external database clients.
What you can do
- Similarity Vector Search (KNN) — Let the AI perform rapid native vector comparisons (
search_vectors). Provide an embedding array via prompt or code, and retrieve the absolute nearesttop_kneighbors securely cached in your infrastructure. - Index Management — Actively discover all loaded RediSearch vector indexes, investigate their configured dimensions (
get_index_info), or command the AI to instantiate new KNN indexes (create_vector_index) tailored for fresh AI workloads. - Embedding Administration — Inject and modify geometric vector components associated with a document key (
upsert_vector), or purge legacy embeddings efficiently (delete_vector) to keep semantic records clean and operational.
How it works
- Authorize the Redis Vector MCP connector from your module catalog.
- Configure it securely by providing your full
Redis URL(ensure it points to a Redis instance that natively supports RediSearch vector extensions). - Prompt your AI to "find the top 5 nearest neighbors for this JSON array in the 'products-index'" or "create a new 1536-dimensional vector index for OpenAI embeddings."
Who is this for?
- AI & ML Engineers — Rapidly iterate over similarity tuning. Store resulting chunk embeddings on the fly, and query KNN vectors right from the prompt instead of scripting Python drivers repeatedly.
- Backend Developers — Maintain semantic storage logic. Audit schemas, map out active index properties, and delete obsolete hashes holding raw vector models instantly.
- Data Architects — Validate your Redis vector environments interactively. Explore dimension structures and index readiness confirming architecture viability for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) applications.

Why Claude Code?
Claude Code registers Redis Vector as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 6 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Redis Vector data drives decisions without human intervention.
- —
Single-command setup:
claude mcp addregisters the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart - —
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
- —
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Redis Vector tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
- —
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

Frequently asked questions
What is the format required for the 'Redis URL' parameter?
The parameter requires standard Redis URI string formatting. Typically it looks like redis://[username]:[password]@[host]:[port]. For TLS/SSL-enabled endpoints spanning secure setups, use the rediss:// scheme prefix.
Does my Redis instance strictly need the RediSearch module?
Yes, absolutely. The base Redis product (standard open-source) only manages key-value caching out of the box. You must be running the Redis Stack or a managed tier (like Redis Enterprise or compatible cloud offerings) that explicitly includes RediSearch to generate and query KNN vector indexes.
Can I query using embedding arrays output directly from OpenAI models?
Yes. Once you receive your numerical float array from an embedding model (like text-embedding-ada-002), you can pipe that exact JSON array into the search_vectors agent tool alongside the relevant index name to perform immediate proximity lookups.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
