8 TOOLS AVAILABLE
OUR ASSESSMENT
- Official Redis maintenance.
- 499 GitHub stars and MIT licence.
- 13 commits on main in the last 30 days.
- Tool coverage spans strings, lists, hashes, sets, sorted sets, JSON, vectors, and search.
- EntraID authentication for Azure Managed Redis.
- Redis ACL configuration via environment variables.
- Docker deployment supported.
- Vector search and RediSearch make this useful as a memory layer for agents in addition to a cache.
- Self-hosted: operator points the MCP at their Redis instance.
- Authentication options vary by deployment (ACL, EntraID, basic) and require per-environment setup.
- The MCP exposes Redis at the data level; scope ACLs to limit blast radius.
The MCP carries Redis credentials through to the configured Redis instance. Scope Redis ACL to the specific keys, key patterns, and commands the agent should access. For Azure Managed Redis, EntraID authentication keeps secrets out of the agent host. Redis has no built-in audit logging; wrap with a proxy if audit is required.
Teams running Redis for caching, session storage, vector search, or JSON document storage who want agents to read and write data; agent memory layers built on Redis Vector Search; multi-tenant Azure deployments using Azure Managed Redis with EntraID.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION
We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 5 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
The same server, 5 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
