Where do I find my Upstash REST URL and Token?

Log in to the [**Upstash Console**](https://console.upstash.com), select your Redis database, and look for the **REST API** section. You'll find the HTTPS Endpoint (your REST URL, e.g. `https://xxx-yyy-12345.upstash.io`) and the **Token** value. Copy both and paste them here. There are two token types: Standard (full access) and Read-Only (read-only commands). Use Standard for full functionality.

What Redis commands are supported via the REST API?

The Upstash REST API supports most Redis commands including: Strings (GET, SET, DEL, EXISTS, EXPIRE, TTL, INCR, DECR), Hashes (HSET, HGET, HGETALL), Lists (LPUSH, RPUSH, LRANGE, LLEN), Sets (SADD, SMEMBERS, SISMEMBER, SREM), Keys (KEYS, TYPE, PING), and Pub/Sub (PUBLISH). The pipeline endpoint allows executing multiple commands in a single request. Blocking commands (BLPOP, BRPOP) and WATCH/UNWATCH are not supported.

Can I execute multiple commands atomically?

The `pipeline` tool sends multiple commands in a single HTTP request for efficiency, but it is NOT atomic — other commands may interleave between them. For atomic multi-command execution, Upstash supports the `/multi-exec` endpoint (same syntax as pipeline but guarantees atomicity). However, this MCP server currently exposes the standard pipeline tool for batch operations.

Is the Upstash REST API rate-limited?

Upstash does not enforce a fixed RPS limit. Instead, your plan defines a daily command limit. Each REST call counts as one command (or multiple commands if using pipeline). If you exceed your daily limit, commands will fail with a 400 error. Check your Upstash console for current usage. For high-throughput scenarios, consider using the pipeline endpoint to batch multiple commands into single HTTP requests.

Upstash MCP Connector for Claude

Manage serverless Redis via Upstash REST API — execute commands, manage data structures and monitor your database from any AI agent.

23 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

More Details Connect to Claude

Connect your Upstash Redis database to any AI agent and interact with your serverless data store through natural conversation — no Redis CLI needed.

What you can do

Health Checks — Ping your database to verify connectivity and inspect server health
String Operations — Get, set and delete key-value pairs with optional TTL management
Hash Management — Store and retrieve structured data as field-value pairs within hash keys
List Operations — Push, pop and range elements from Redis lists for queue and stack patterns
Set Operations — Add, remove and query set membership for unique collections
Key Discovery — List keys by pattern, check existence, inspect data types and view TTL values
Numeric Operations — Increment and decrement counters atomically
Pub/Sub Messaging — Publish messages to channels for event-driven architectures
Pipeline Execution — Execute multiple commands in a single HTTP request for batch operations

How it works

Subscribe to this server
Enter your Upstash REST URL and Token
Start managing your Redis data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

No more switching to another terminal to run Redis commands. Your AI acts as an in-memory data engineer.

Who is this for?

Backend Developers — manage caching layers, feature flags, session storage and rate limit counters directly from chat
DevOps Engineers — monitor database health, audit key patterns and manage TTL-based data lifecycle
Full-Stack Teams — manipulate data structures (hashes, lists, sets) for application state without opening Redis CLI

23 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

decr

If the key does not exist, it is initialized to 0 before the operation. Returns the new value after decrementing. Decrement a numeric value in Upstash Redis

del

Returns 1 if the key was deleted, 0 if it did not exist. WARNING: this operation is irreversible. Delete a key from Upstash Redis

exists

This is a lightweight way to check key presence without retrieving the value. Check if a key exists in Upstash Redis

expire

The key will be automatically deleted when the TTL reaches zero. Returns 1 if the timeout was set, 0 if the key does not exist. Set a TTL on a key in Upstash Redis

get

Returns null if the key does not exist. This is the primary read operation for string data. Get a value from Upstash Redis

hget

Returns null if the key or field does not exist. Get a field value from a Redis hash

hgetall

Returns an object with all fields and their values. Returns an empty object if the key does not exist. Get all fields and values from a Redis hash

hset

If the key does not exist, a new hash is created. If the field already exists, its value is overwritten. Returns the number of fields added (1 for new, 0 for updated). Set a field in a Redis hash

incr

If the key does not exist, it is initialized to 0 before the operation. Returns the new value after incrementing. Increment a numeric value in Upstash Redis

list_keys

Use "*" for all keys, "prefix:*" for keys with a prefix, or "*:suffix" for suffix matching. WARNING: KEYS can be slow on large databases — use sparingly. List keys in Upstash Redis

llen

Returns 0 if the key does not exist. Get the length of a Redis list

lpush

If the key does not exist, a new list is created. Returns the length of the list after the push. Push values to the left of a Redis list

lrange

Use 0 as start and -1 as stop to get all elements. Positive indices count from the head (0 = first), negative indices count from the tail (-1 = last). Get a range of elements from a Redis list

pipeline

Commands are sent as a JSON array of arrays, e.g. [["SET","k1","v1"],["GET","k1"],["INCR","counter"]]. Returns an array of results in the same order. Note: the pipeline is NOT atomic (other commands may interleave) — use /multi-exec for atomicity. WARNING: this is a powerful tool — review commands carefully before execution. Execute multiple commands atomically via Upstash pipeline

publish

Returns the number of subscribers that received the message. This is a fire-and-forget operation — subscribers must be actively listening. Publish a message to a Redis channel

rpush

If the key does not exist, a new list is created. Returns the length of the list after the push. Push values to the right of a Redis list

sadd

Duplicate members are ignored. If the key does not exist, a new set is created. Returns the number of members that were added. Add members to a Redis set

set

Optionally set an expiry time in seconds using the ex parameter. Overwrites any existing value at the key. Returns "OK" on success. This is the primary write operation for string data. Set a value in Upstash Redis

sismember

This is a fast O(1) membership check. Check if a member is in a Redis set

smembers

Returns an array of all unique members. Returns an empty array if the key does not exist. Get all members of a Redis set

srem

Non-existent members are ignored. Returns the number of members that were removed. Remove members from a Redis set

ttl

Returns -1 if the key has no expiry, -2 if the key does not exist. Get the TTL of a key in Upstash Redis

key_type

Get the data type of a key in Upstash Redis
