Complete set · 23 capabilities

The complete Upstash capability set.

These are the exact actions your AI can choose when you ask it to work with Upstash.

Capability set01 / 06

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 23 available through Upstash.

01
Del
Returns 1 if the key was deleted, 0 if it did not exist. WARNING: this operation is irreversible. Delete a key from Upstash Redis
02
Expire
The key will be automatically deleted when the TTL reaches zero. Returns 1 if the timeout was set, 0 if the key does not exist. Set a TTL on a key in Upstash Redis
03
Get
Returns null if the key does not exist. This is the primary read operation for string data. Get a value from Upstash Redis
04
Hget
Returns null if the key or field does not exist. Get a field value from a Redis hash

Capability set02 / 06

05-08

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 23 available through Upstash.

05
Hset
If the key does not exist, a new hash is created. If the field already exists, its value is overwritten. Returns the number of fields added (1 for new, 0 for updated). Set a field in a Redis hash
06
List keys
Use "" for all keys, "prefix:" for keys with a prefix, or "*:suffix" for suffix matching. WARNING: KEYS can be slow on large databases. use sparingly. List keys in Upstash Redis
07
Llen
Returns 0 if the key does not exist. Get the length of a Redis list
08
Lrange
Use 0 as start and -1 as stop to get all elements. Positive indices count from the head (0 = first), negative indices count from the tail (-1 = last). Get a range of elements from a Redis list

Capability set03 / 06

09-12

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 23 available through Upstash.

09
Pipeline
Commands are sent as a JSON array of arrays, e.g. [["SET","k1","v1"],["GET","k1"],["INCR","counter"]]. Returns an array of results in the same order. Note: the pipeline is NOT atomic (other commands may interleave). use /multi-exec for atomicity. WARNING: this is a powerful capability. review commands carefully before execution. Execute multiple commands atomically via Upstash pipeline
10
Publish
Returns the number of subscribers that received the message. This is a fire-and-forget operation. subscribers must be actively listening. Publish a message to a Redis channel
11
Rpush
If the key does not exist, a new list is created. Returns the length of the list after the push. Push values to the right of a Redis list
12
Sismember
This is a fast O(1) membership check. Check if a member is in a Redis set

Capability set04 / 06

13-16

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 23 available through Upstash.

13
Smembers
Returns an array of all unique members. Returns an empty array if the key does not exist. Get all members of a Redis set
14
Srem
Non-existent members are ignored. Returns the number of members that were removed. Remove members from a Redis set
15
Ttl
Returns -1 if the key has no expiry, -2 if the key does not exist. Get the TTL of a key in Upstash Redis
16
Decr
If the key does not exist, it is initialized to 0 before the operation. Returns the new value after decrementing. Decrement a numeric value in Upstash Redis

Capability set05 / 06

17-20

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 23 available through Upstash.

17
Exists
This is a lightweight way to check key presence without retrieving the value. Check if a key exists in Upstash Redis
18
Hgetall
Returns an object with all fields and their values. Returns an empty object if the key does not exist. Get all fields and values from a Redis hash
19
Incr
If the key does not exist, it is initialized to 0 before the operation. Returns the new value after incrementing. Increment a numeric value in Upstash Redis
20
Key type
Get the data type of a key in Upstash Redis

Capability set06 / 06

21-23

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 23 available through Upstash.

21
Lpush
If the key does not exist, a new list is created. Returns the length of the list after the push. Push values to the left of a Redis list
22
Sadd
Duplicate members are ignored. If the key does not exist, a new set is created. Returns the number of members that were added. Add members to a Redis set
23
Set
Optionally set an expiry time in seconds using the ex parameter. Overwrites any existing value at the key. Returns "OK" on success. This is the primary write operation for string data. Set a value in Upstash Redis

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 23 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Upstash, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Upstash. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions Upstash owners ask.

01
Where do I find my Upstash REST URL and Token?
Log in to the Upstash Console, select your Redis database, and look for the REST API section. You'll find the HTTPS Endpoint (your REST URL, e.g. https://xxx-yyy-12345.upstash.io) and the Token value. Copy both and paste them here. There are two token types: Standard (full access) and Read-Only (read-only commands). Use Standard for full functionality.
02
What Redis commands are supported via the REST API?
The Upstash REST API supports most Redis commands including: Strings (GET, SET, DEL, EXISTS, EXPIRE, TTL, INCR, DECR), Hashes (HSET, HGET, HGETALL), Lists (LPUSH, RPUSH, LRANGE, LLEN), Sets (SADD, SMEMBERS, SISMEMBER, SREM), Keys (KEYS, TYPE, PING), and Pub/Sub (PUBLISH). The pipeline endpoint allows executing multiple commands in a single request. Blocking commands (BLPOP, BRPOP) and WATCH/UNWATCH are not supported.
03
Can I execute multiple commands atomically?
The pipeline capability sends multiple commands in a single HTTP request for efficiency, but it is NOT atomic. other commands may interleave between them. For atomic multi-command execution, Upstash supports the /multi-exec endpoint (same syntax as pipeline but guarantees atomicity). However, this MCP server currently exposes the standard pipeline capability for batch operations.
04
Is the Upstash REST API rate-limited?
Upstash does not enforce a fixed RPS limit. Instead, your plan defines a daily command limit. Each REST call counts as one command (or multiple commands if using pipeline). If you exceed your daily limit, commands will fail with a 400 error. Check your Upstash console for current usage. For high-throughput scenarios, consider using the pipeline endpoint to batch multiple commands into single HTTP requests.
