What the Redis MCP server does

It gives an AI assistant tools for working with Redis data types, including strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, pub/sub, streams, and JSON documents. It also includes a docs search tool, query engine tools for vector indexes and vector search, and a server management tool that retrieves information about the database. The server can be run locally with uvx, as shown in the install quote.
