Redis Vector

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 nearest top_k neighbors 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

  1. Authorize the Redis Vector MCP connector from your module catalog.
  2. Configure it securely by providing your full Redis URL (ensure it points to a Redis instance that natively supports RediSearch vector extensions).
  3. 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 Cursor?

Cursor's Agent mode turns Redis Vector into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Redis Vector and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 6 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

  • Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context

  • Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards

  • MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment

  • VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

05

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

06

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

07

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.

08

Tools not appearing in Cursor

Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.

09

Server shows as disconnected

Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
