This repo ships skills (per-SDK instruction packs your agent loads on demand) and the plugin manifests that install them, and now the Upstash MCP server, into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Zed, and any Agent Skills, compatible client. - Skills: packaged instructions and CLI references for each Upstash SDK (Redis, QStash, Workflow, Vector, Search, Box, Ratelimit). No credentials needed. → docs - MCP server: live tools to query, debug, and manage your account. Two ways to run it: - Remote (hosted): https://mcp.upstash.com/mcp, streamable HTTP, authenticated with OAuth (browser consent, on first use) or a developer API key header. Nothing to install. - Local (stdio): @upstash/mcp-server run with npx, authenticated with your account email + a developer API key. From the project README, punctuation lightly normalized.

Use when publishing messages to HTTP endpoints or URL groups, running background job… - upstash-ratelimit-js: Rate limiting for serverless and edge apps with the @upstash/ratelimit TypeScript/JavaScript SDK backed by Upstash Redis. Use when adding a rate limiter or throttling to an API route, Next.js middleware, Vercel Edge, Cloudflare Workers, or any HTTP endpoint; returning 429 Too Many Requests; choosin… - upstash-redis-js: Work with the @upstash/redis TypeScript/JavaScript SDK, a serverless HTTP-based Redis client for Next.js, Vercel, Cloudflare Workers, edge runtimes, and Node.js. Use when adding a cache (cache-aside, write-through, TTL and expiration strategies), session storage and user sessions, a key-value store… - upstash-redis-start: Provision a zero-config, no-signup, temporary Upstash Redis database for an AI agent with a single POST to https://upstash.com/start-redis, with no account, API key, or SDK setup required. Use when an agent needs scratch Redis right now and the user has not provided credentials, for short-term memo… - upstash-search-js: Work with the @upstash/search TypeScript/JavaScript SDK, a serverless full-text and semantic search database with built-in reranking. Use when adding search to an app or site, creating a search index, upserting documents with searchable content and filterable metadata, running keyword, semantic, or… - upstash-vector-js: Work with the @upstash/vector TypeScript/JavaScript SDK, a serverless vector database for embeddings, similarity search, semantic search, and RAG (retrieval-augmented generation).
