Configuration

Usage with Claude Desktop

To use this server with the Claude Desktop app, add the following configuration to the “mcpServers” section of your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "redis": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@gongrzhe/[email protected]",
        "redis://localhost:6379"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Alternatively, you can use the node command directly if you have the package installed:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "redis": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "path/to/build/index.js",
        "redis://10.1.210.223:6379"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Docker Usage

When using Docker:

• For macOS, use host.docker.internal if the Redis server is running on the host network
• Redis URL can be specified as an argument, defaults to “redis://localhost:6379”

  "mcpServers": {
    "redis": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run", 
        "-i", 
        "--rm", 
        "mcp/redis",
