​
Add Redis Tool to AI Agent

​
Quick Start

1

Install Dependencies

Make sure you have Node.js installed, as the MCP server requires it: 

pip install praisonaiagents mcp
2

Set up Redis

Ensure you have Redis running locally or specify your Redis connection URL.

3

Create a file

Create a new file redis_agent.py with the following code: 

from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP
import os

# Redis connection string
redis_url = "redis://localhost:6379"

# Use a single string command with Redis configuration
redis_agent = Agent(
    instructions="""You are a helpful assistant that can interact with Redis.
    Use the available tools when relevant to manage Redis operations.""",
    llm="gpt-4o-mini",
    tools=MCP("npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-redis", args=[redis_url])
)

redis_agent.start("Set a key-value pair in Redis")
4

Run the Agent

Execute your script:

python redis_agent.py

Requirements

  • Python 3.10 or higher
  • Node.js installed on your system
  • Redis server running locally or remotely
  • OpenAI API key (for the agent’s LLM)
