About Redis Cloud API MCP Server
Redis Cloud API MCP Server is an MCP server for the Redis Cloud API that lets users manage accounts, subscriptions, plans and tasks in natural language. It suits users who want to work with Redis Cloud from Claude Desktop or another MCP client.
Key features
- 01Query account details and payment methods
- 02List, create and delete Pro and Essential subscriptions
- 03Query database modules and cloud regions
- 04List Essential plans with pagination
- 05List and inspect asynchronous tasks
Use cases
- 01Create a Redis database subscription through natural language
- 02Review current subscriptions and payment methods
- 03Track the status of long-running operations
MCP support
This project is an MCP server that exposes Redis Cloud API operations for accounts, subscriptions, plans, regions and tasks as tools to MCP clients.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMERedis Cloud API MCP Server
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized protocol for managing context between large language models (LLMs) and external systems. This repository provides an MCP Server for Redis Cloud's API, allowing you to manage your Redis Cloud resources using natural language.
This lets you use Claude Desktop, or any MCP Client, to use natural language to accomplish things on your Redis Cloud account, e.g.:
- "Create a new Redis database in AWS"
- "What are my current subscriptions?"
- "Help me choose the right Redis database for my e-commerce application"

Claude Desktop
To run the MCP server with Claude Desktop, follow these steps:
-
Build the package:
npm run build -
Add the server to Claude Desktop:
- Open Claude Desktop settings
- Navigate to the Developer tab (make sure you have enabled Developer Mode)
- Click on "Edit config"
- Open the
claude_desktop_config.jsonfile in your text editor and add the following configuration:
{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-redis-cloud": { "command": "node", "args": ["--experimental-fetch", "<absolute_path_to_project_root>/dist/index.js"], "env": { "API_KEY": "<redis_cloud_api_key>", "SECRET_KEY": "<redis_cloud_api_secret_key>" } } } } -
Close Claude Desktop and restart it. The server should now be available in the MCP Servers section.
Cursor IDE
To run the MCP server with Cursor IDE, follow these steps:
-
Build the package:
npm run build -
Add the server to Cursor:
- Open Cursor Settings
- Navigate to the MCP tab
- Click on "Add new global MCP Server"
- Update the automatically opened
mcp.jsonfile with the following configuration:
{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-redis-cloud": { "command": "node", "args": ["--experimental-fetch", "<absolute_path_to_project_root>/dist/index.js"], "env": { "API_KEY": "<redis_cloud_api_key>", "SECRET_KEY": "<redis_cloud_api_secret_key>" } } } } -
Restart Cursor. The server should now be available in the MCP Servers section.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
