Upstash Redis

What is the Upstash Redis MCP Server?

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  • Backend Developers — Verify cache hits, clear outdated session states intuitively, or seed temporary mock parameters rapidly without launching specialized desktop database clients like RedisInsight.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.

Built-in capabilities (7)

delete

Provide a comma-separated list of keys. Deletes one or more keys from Redis

get

Retrieves the string value stored at a key

get_key_info

Retrieves the data type and TTL of a key

increment

Use negative numbers to decrement. Increments or decrements a numeric counter at a key

list_keys

Avoid broad patterns like "*" on large databases. Scans for keys matching a glob pattern

ping

Pings the Redis instance to verify connectivity

set

You can specify expiry in seconds. Sets a string value at a key with an optional TTL

Why VS Code Copilot?

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Upstash Redis data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 7 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

  • VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor

  • Project-scoped MCP configs (.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access

  • Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop

  • GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

05

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

06

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

07

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.

08

MCP tools not available

Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
