What you can do with the Redis MCP server

Ask your agent in plain language. Each of these maps to a real tool on the server.

  • Use the update subscription tool in Redis
  • Use the list acl roles tool in Redis
  • Use the create cloud account tool in Redis
  • Use the create acl role tool in Redis
  • Use the update acl rule tool in Redis
  • Use the list essentials plans tool in Redis

Connect Redis to your AI client

Every client uses the same Magic MCP URL, and so does any other MCP client. Add it once and sign in with SSO.

  1. Enable Redis in Metorial. In your Metorial portal, enable the Redis MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
  2. Add a custom connector. Open Customize, then Connectors. Select Add, then Custom, then Web.
  3. Paste your Metorial MCP URL. Name it Metorial, paste your Magic MCP URL (<your-magic-mcp-url>) and continue.
  4. Sign in. Select Add and sign in to load Redis tools.

Run Redis through the Metorial gateway

One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.

  • Give Redis and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
  • Scope which teams and agents can use Redis tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
  • Prefer to run it yourself? Metorial is open source and self-hostable.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about connecting Redis to AI agents with Metorial.

  1. How many tools does the Redis MCP server have?
    The Redis MCP server exposes 48 tools, including Update Subscription, List ACL Roles, Create Cloud Account. Each one is governed and traced through Metorial.
  2. Redis exposes tools your agents call on demand; it does not publish event triggers yet. Everything still runs through one governed MCP URL.
  3. Any MCP client, including VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, OpenCode and Grok. Each one reaches the Redis MCP server through the same Metorial URL.
  4. Use role-based access control to decide which teams, users, and agents can use Redis and which of its tools they can call.
  5. Yes. Metorial is open source, so you can run the Redis MCP server yourself or use the hosted gateway.
