About Unstorage MCP Server
Unstorage MCP Server exposes key-value storage operations through unjs/unstorage. It is for MCP clients that need to read, write, inspect, or remove values across supported storage drivers, with stdio and HTTP-based transports.
Key features
- 01Read and write key-value entries
- 02Retrieve raw values and metadata
- 03List keys and mounted stores
- 04Support memory, filesystem, Redis, MongoDB, and HTTP drivers
- 05Offer stdio, Streamable HTTP, and SSE transports
- 06Disable modification tools by configuration
Use cases
- 01Store values produced during an agent workflow
- 02Read or update data in configured storage backends
- 03Inspect keys and metadata across mounted stores
MCP support
It provides key-value storage tools to MCP clients over stdio, Streamable HTTP, or SSE.
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.

environment variables
for the concept of base and mountpoint, please refer to the doc of unstorage
Set environment variables in the terminal or in the
.envfile
redis
if REDIS_URL is set, a redis storage will be mounted
| Syntax | Description | Default Value | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
REDIS_URL | redis connect url, eg: redis://default:123456@localhost:6379 | ||
REDIS_BASE | base of redisDriver | ✅ | |
REDIS_MOUNT_POINT | mountpoint of this storage | "/" | ✅ |
mongodb
if MONGODB_URL is set, a mongodb storage will be mounted
| Syntax | Description | Default Value | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
MONGODB_URL | mongodb connect url, eg: mongodb://user:pass@host:port | ||
MONGODB_DB_NAME | mongodb database name, eg: test | ||
MONGODB_COLLECTION_NAME | mongodb collection name, eg: mycollection | ||
MONGODB_MOUNT_POINT | mountpoint of this storage | "/" | ✅ |
filesystem
if FS_BASE is set, a redis storage will be mounted
| Syntax | Description | Default Value | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
FS_BASE | base of fsDriver, path of filesystem | ||
FS_MOUNT_POINT | mountpoint of this storage | "/" | ✅ |
http server
if HTTP_BASE is set, a http storage will be mounted
| Syntax | Description | Default Value | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
HTTP_BASE | base of httpDriver, endpoint of http server | ||
HTTP_MOUNT_POINT | mountpoint of this storage | "/" | ✅ |
HTTP_HEADERS | headers for http requests, eg: Authorization=Bear 123;A=1;B=2 | ✅ |
memory
If there is no mount on root("/"), a memory driver will be mounted automatically on "/" (same behaviour of unstorage).
extend guide
- clone this repo
- copy src/storage/redis.ts to a new file and modify it to your desired driver(
unjs/unstorageis super easy to learn) - test and verify that it is effective
- (optional) pull a merge request
If you are not a typescript developer, please submit a issue to ask for other drivers support.
prompts for cursor/cline assisted programming
@/src/storage/mongodb.ts , please implement this file:
1. you need to fetch information using the storage type's corresponding Doc URL (https://unstorage.unjs.io/drivers/<storage type>).
2. you can refer to examples in @/src/adapter/redis.ts and @/src/storage/http.ts.
3. You are only responsible for generating the code and do not need to perform testing.
If you have not installed fetch MCP server, delete the first sentence

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.
