Overview

The Redis MCP Server provides a natural language interface for AI agents to manage and search data within a Redis database, supporting various data structures.

The Redis MCP Server's safety depends on the configuration of Redis ACL and the appropriate use of tools. When ACL is properly configured and only safe tools are used, it can be considered relatively safe. However, if destructive tools are enabled without proper access controls, it poses a significant risk.

Performance is heavily dependent on the underlying Redis instance and network latency. Consider using Redis Cluster for scalability.

Cost is primarily determined by the resources consumed by the Redis instance (memory, CPU, network).

Known Risks

!Potential for data corruption or loss if destructive tools are used without proper safeguards.
!Exposure of sensitive data if Redis instance is compromised.
!Risk of denial-of-service if the server is overwhelmed with requests.
!Improperly secured environment variables can lead to credential leakage.
!Vulnerable to injection attacks if natural language queries are not properly sanitized.

Safety Score

moderate risk

Positive

+Supports Redis ACL for access control.
+Can be configured with SSL for secure connections.
+Provides tools with varying danger levels, allowing for controlled access.
+Supports EntraID authentication for Azure Managed Redis.

Risks

-Direct access to Redis database, potentially allowing for unintended data modification or deletion.
-Improperly configured ACL can lead to unauthorized access.
-Exposure of Redis credentials if environment variables are not properly secured.
-Lack of sandboxing could allow for unintended side effects from certain tools.
