}Tools
redis_run_commands- Run any Redis command (including the SEARCH.* family), as a pipeline or an atomic transaction
redis_search_docs- Search the Upstash Redis docs live so the agent can look up commands and features
As documented on October 17, 2026. A running server reports its current list through tools/list.
Notes and caveats
- Authenticates with one database's REST URL and token (UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL / UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN), or UPSTASH_REDIS_TCP_URL for a rediss:// TCP connection.
- Cursor is documented with a one-click deeplink button plus the mcpServers JSON config used for the Cursor and generic snippets.
- For account-wide management Upstash points to the main Upstash MCP server instead.
- Latest release v0.1.1 (2026-07-08).
