SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill connects a Redis instance to a self-hosted Hermes agent so an AI coding agent can use Redis without manual server setup, repeated reconfiguration, or unsafe ad hoc access.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SSH-first wiring: Performs all configuration on the VPS where Hermes runs, keeping the setup idempotent and rollback-safe.
  • Provider flexibility: Works with Redis Cloud, Upstash, self-hosted Redis, Elasticache, DigitalOcean, Fly Redis, and other Redis providers through a connection URL.
  • Safety and validation: Verifies connectivity, respects TLS requirements, prefers scoped ACL users, and avoids dangerous write access unless explicitly enabled.
  • Use case: A team can connect a managed Redis instance to their remote Hermes agent so it can read session data, inspect cache state, or perform controlled writes during development.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to connect your Redis instance to your Hermes server using the Redis connection URL and your VPS SSH details.

Frequently Asked Questions about integration-redis

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect a remote Redis instance to my self-hosted Hermes agent?▼

To connect Redis to a self-hosted Hermes agent, you wire the connection URL directly over SSH. This process applies ACL-aware safety gates and performs live PING checks to ensure secure, validated access to your data.

Can I use a managed Redis database like Upstash or Redis Cloud with a Hermes integration?▼

Yes, managed Redis databases like Upstash, Redis Cloud, and Elasticache work through a standard connection URL. The integration verifies TLS requirements and supports remote agent integrations across various providers.

How does an SSH-first wiring approach protect my Redis server during agent integration?▼

SSH-first wiring performs all configuration on the VPS where Hermes runs, keeping updates idempotent and rollback-safe. It prefers scoped ACL users and avoids dangerous write access unless explicitly enabled.

What's the best way to register a Redis MCP tool for read-only data access?▼

Registering a Redis MCP tool for read-only access uses optional stdio MCP registration through redis/mcp-redis. This setup includes gateway reloads and ACL safety gates to restrict agent permissions.

Does a Redis integration support write-enabled tool wiring or is it limited to reading data?▼

Redis integration supports write-enabled tool wiring alongside read-only data access. It avoids dangerous write access by default and requires explicit enabling to perform controlled writes during development.
