Add this to the mcpServers object in your client's
config file, then restart the client.

The server itself takes no credential — it opens a Redis connection on your behalf, so anything it needs travels in the --url. A local unprotected instance needs nothing; a managed one takes its password in the URI (redis://user:password@host:6379/0, or rediss:// for TLS). Azure Managed Redis with EntraID is configured through REDIS_ENTRAID_AUTH_FLOW instead.
