Why people use Upstash

Upstash for Redis Cache Management

With this Connector, you just tell your agent what to do. You can ask it to check a key, update a counter, or clear a list, and it handles the REST API calls for you. You get the data you need directly in your chat, keeping you focused on your actual code.

What Vinkius changes

You get direct control over your Redis data without leaving your AI client.

Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

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 Capability
Decr
Decreases a numeric value in your Redis store. It initializes the key to 0 if it doesn't exist before subtracting.
02 Capability
Del
Removes a specific key from your database. Use this when you need to clear out data permanently.
03 Capability
Exists
Checks if a key is present in your store. It's a fast way to verify data without pulling the whole value.
04 Capability
Expire
Sets a time-to-live on a specific key. This ensures your data gets deleted automatically after a certain period.

Capability set02 / 06

05—08

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 23 available through Upstash.

05 Capability
Get
Retrieves the value of a string key. This is your main way to read data from the cache.
06 Capability
Hget
Grabs a specific field value from a Redis hash. It's perfect for looking up one piece of structured data.
07 Capability
Hgetall
Pulls every field and value from a hash key. Use this to see the full contents of a structured object.
08 Capability
Hset
Adds or updates a field within a Redis hash. It creates the hash automatically if it isn't already there.

Capability set03 / 06

09—12

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 23 available through Upstash.

09 Capability
Incr
Increases a numeric value by one. If the key is missing, it starts at 0 before adding.
10 Capability
List keys
Shows all keys in your database, optionally filtered by a pattern. Be careful with this on very large databases.
11 Capability
Llen
Tells you how many items are in a specific Redis list. It returns 0 if the list doesn't exist.
12 Capability
Lpush
Adds new values to the start of a Redis list. This is great for building stacks or queues.

Capability set04 / 06

13—16

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 23 available through Upstash.

13 Capability
Lrange
Pulls a specific range of elements from a list. You can get everything by using 0 as the start and -1 as the stop.
14 Capability
Pipeline
Sends a batch of commands in a single request. This is a powerful way to do multiple operations at once.
15 Capability
Publish
Sends a message to a specific channel for subscribers. This is a fire-and-forget way to handle events.
16 Capability
Rpush
Adds new values to the end of a Redis list. Use this for standard queue behavior.

Capability set05 / 06

17—20

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 23 available through Upstash.

17 Capability
Set
Saves a string value to a key. You can also include an expiry time to keep the data fresh.
18 Capability
Sismember
Checks if a specific member exists in a set. This is a very fast way to do membership lookups.
19 Capability
Smembers
Returns every unique member in a set. Use this to see everything inside a collection.
20 Capability
Srem
Removes specific members from a set. It ignores any members that aren't actually there.

Capability set06 / 06

21—23

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 23 available through Upstash.

21 Capability
Ttl
Shows how much time is left before a key expires. It returns -1 if there is no expiration set.
22 Capability
Key type
Identifies the data type of a specific key. This helps you figure out if a key is a string, hash, list, or set.
23 Capability
Sadd
Adds unique members to a Redis set. It ignores any members that are already in the collection.

Before you connect

Questions about Upstash.

The practical details behind the request, access and result.

Can I use Upstash MCP to manage my production cache?

Yes, you can manage production data, but be careful with commands like list_keys on large sets to avoid performance hits.

Does the Upstash MCP work with my existing Redis keys?

Yes, it connects to your existing Upstash Redis instance via your REST URL and Token.

How do I set a feature flag using the Upstash MCP?

Just tell your agent to set a key to a specific value and include an expiry time.

Can I use this to clear my cache?

Yes, you can use the del capability to remove specific keys or patterns.

Is it safe to use this for session storage?

Yes, it's a great way to get and set session strings while managing their TTLs automatically.

Can the Upstash MCP handle complex data like hashes?

Yes, it includes capabilities to get, set, and retrieve all fields from Redis hashes.

What happens if I don't set a TTL?

If you don't set one, the data stays in the cache until you manually delete it or it expires via a previous setting.

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.

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.

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 Connector currently exposes the standard pipeline capability for batch operations.

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.
