Upstash Redis Kv

This is a full-featured Redis client that talks to Upstash's REST API, giving you persistent key-value storage across Claude conversations. You get the complete Redis toolkit: strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, plus all the usual expiration and key management commands. It's genuinely useful when you need to cache data between messages, maintain counters or leaderboards, or store structured data that survives past the current chat. The implementation is solid with support for credential overrides and proper command-line flags. One thing to watch: it uses the REST interface rather than native Redis protocol, so there's some HTTP overhead, but that's the tradeoff for serverless Redis.

Upstash Redis Key-Value Store

Interact with Upstash's Redis-compatible key-value store using the REST interface.

Script Location

bun run scripts/upstash-client.ts <command> [args...]

IMPORTANT: Always run with bun run, not directly.

Configuration

Environment Variables

The script uses these environment variables by default:

UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL - The Upstash REST API URL
UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN - The Upstash REST API token

Overriding Credentials

If the user provides credentials from another source (conversation context, a file, etc.), use the --url and --token flags to override environment variables:

bun run scripts/upstash-client.ts --url "https://..." --token "AX..." GET mykey

Priority: Command-line flags > Environment variables
