Installation

Source-derived launch command. Check the maintainer’s required arguments and credentials before running:

bash
uvx mcp-redis-server

Set up in your AI client

Merge this template into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Keep existing servers. Add any arguments, credentials, and permissions required by the maintainer; this template has not been install-tested.

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "io-github-daedalus-mcp-redis-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-redis-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop completely for changes to take effect. Confirm the server appears connected in the client’s tool list, then try a read-only example from its documentation.
