About

A Model Context Protocol server that provides access to Redis databases. This server enables LLMs to interact with Redis key-value stores through a set of standardized tools.

  • Pattern matching — List keys using glob patterns
  • Server info — Retrieve Redis server statistics and configuration
  • Connection flexibility — Works with local and remote Redis instances

Use Cases

  • Cache inspection — "What's currently in the cache?"
  • Session management — "List all active user sessions"
  • Rate limiting analysis — "Check how many requests this IP has made"
  • Queue monitoring — "Show me the length of all queues"
  • Configuration review — "What are the current Redis settings?"
