Ship Redis from your agent

Two commands. Full Redis.

Copied!

$brew install redis/homebrew-tap/redisctl$npx skills add redis/agent-skills

Set up Redis for this project. Install the redisctl CLI and add the Redis Agent Skills (npx skills add redis/agent-skills).
Then create a free Redis Cloud database using my API key, add the Redis MCP server to this agent, connect the database to my app with a pooled client, and write a quick smoke test that sets and gets a key.
Ask me for anything you need.

Get started in three steps

Grab your API key, run the commands, and let your agent take care of the rest.

Get your API key

Create a free account at redis.io/try-free and copy your key from API keys in the console.

Create a database and connect

Your agent spins one up with redisctl and wires the connection into your app.

Add the MCP server (optional)

Give your agent live data access with claude mcp add or the MCP client config docs.

You’ve found the fastest way to add Redis to your project using an AI coding agent.

Run two commands—or hand your agent the prompt—to install redisctl and the Redis Agent Skills; your agent then provisions a Redis Cloud database, connects it to your app, and registers the Redis MCP server for your editor, so it can build with Redis end to end.

Our agent-native tools

Install once, and your agent can provision, connect, and query.

redisctl

A command-line interface for Redis Cloud and Redis Software. Your agent uses it to provision databases and manage subscriptions from the terminal.

GitHubDocs

Redis MCP Server

Gives your agent a natural-language interface to Redis—it reads, writes, and queries your data directly from any MCP-compatible editor.

GitHubDocs

Redis Agent Skills

Teaches coding agents Redis patterns and best practices, so they write correct, idiomatic Redis code the first time.

What you can build with your agent

Once Redis is running, copy any of these into your coding agent to put it to work. Keep an eye out for more runnable demos and sample projects coming soon.

Everything above is focused on build-time to help your coding agent set Redis up. Once your app is live, Redis Iris is the runtime infrastructure it leans on for vector search, semantic caching, and agent memory.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add Redis with an AI coding agent?

Add redis/agent-skills—or just paste the setup prompt into your agent chat. Your agent then provisions a Redis Cloud database, connects it to your app, and registers the Redis MCP server, so it can build with Redis end to end.

Does it work with Claude Code, Cursor, and others?

Yes—it works with any coding agent that can run shell commands. Run the command yourself or paste the prompt into the agent chat and it runs and wires everything up.

What do these commands actually do?

brew install redis/homebrew-tap/redisctl installs the redisctl CLI for managing Redis Cloud (Windows: cargo install redisctl, a prebuilt binary, or Docker). npx skills add redis/agent-skills teaches your coding agent Redis patterns and best practices. With your API key, your agent can then provision a free database, wire REDIS_URL into your app, and register the Redis MCP server.

How is this different from Iris?

This page is build-time—your coding agent setting Redis up while you develop. Redis Iris is runtime—the Redis infrastructure your live AI app relies on for vector search, semantic caching, and agent memory. Different jobs; use both.

Do I need a paid plan?

No. You can create a free Redis Cloud account and database to build and test with.
