Upstash documents an official Model Context Protocol server at upstash.com/docs/agent-resources/mcp implemented in the `upstash/mcp-server` repository and npm package `@upstash/mcp-server`. Started with `npx -y @upstash/mcp-server@latest --email YOUR_EMAIL --api-key YOUR_API_KEY`, it exposes tools for serverless Redis, QStash, Workflow runs, and Upstash Box so agents can manage and debug account resources from Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, Codex, and other MCP clients. Read-only API keys automatically disable mutating tools per docs; optional `--transport http`, `--disable-telemetry`, and Upstash Box API key flags are documented for advanced setups.
Use cases
- Inspect Redis databases and keys from Cursor during agent debugging
- Retry or inspect failed QStash/Workflow runs via MCP tools
- Scope agents to read-only Upstash API keys in production accounts
- Manage Upstash Box sandboxes for code-execution agents
- Run HTTP transport on localhost:3000 for web MCP clients
Key features
- Cursor
- Claude Desktop
- Claude Code
- VS Code
- Codex
- Windsurf
- Gemini CLI
Frequently Asked Questions
- Should I use MCP or the Upstash Skill?
- Upstash docs say most workflows should prefer the Upstash Skill driving @upstash/cli over running MCP.
- Can read-only keys prevent accidental deletes?
- Yes—docs state readonly API keys auto-disable state-changing tools at startup.
- What products are covered?
- Redis, QStash, Workflow, and Upstash Box per the MCP documentation page.

Chroma MCP Server
Chroma documents an official Model Context Protocol server in the chroma-core/chroma-mcp repository and docs.trychroma.com/integrations/frameworks/anthropic-mcp, started with `uvx chroma-mcp` over stdio. Tools include `chroma_list_collections`, `chroma_create_collection`, `chroma_peek_collection`, `chroma_modify_collection`, `chroma_delete_collection`, `chroma_add_documents`, `chroma_query_documents`, `chroma_get_documents`, `chroma_update_documents`, and `chroma_delete_documents` per the README. Client types documented: ephemeral (default), persistent (`--client-type persistent --data-dir`), HTTP self-hosted, and Chroma Cloud (`--client-type cloud` with API keys). Embedding function options include default, Cohere, OpenAI, Jina, VoyageAI, and Roboflow per Chroma MCP docs.
MotherDuck MCP Server
MotherDuck documents a remote Model Context Protocol server at motherduck.com/docs/sql-reference/mcp hosted at `https://api.motherduck.com/mcp` with OAuth (or Bearer token) and read-write SQL access to MotherDuck cloud databases. Tools include `list_databases`, `list_tables`, `list_columns`, `search_catalog`, `query`, `query_rw`, `ask_docs_question`, Dive tools (`list_dives`, `read_dive`, `view_dive`, `save_dive`, etc.), and Flight scheduling tools (`list_flights`, `create_flight`, `run_flight`, etc.) per MotherDuck MCP docs. For local DuckDB files or custom configs, MotherDuck points to the open-source `mcp-server-motherduck` package (`uvx mcp-server-motherduck --db-path md:`) on github.com/motherduckdb/mcp-server-motherduck.
PlanetScale MCP Server
PlanetScale documents a hosted Model Context Protocol server at planetscale.com/docs/connect/mcp, reachable at `https://mcp.pscale.dev/mcp/planetscale` with OAuth authentication for organizations, databases, branches, schemas, and Insights data. An insights-only endpoint at `https://mcp.pscale.dev/mcp/planetscale-insights-only` omits read/write query tools. Tools documented include organization/database/branch listing, schema inspection, `planetscale_get_insights`, documentation search, and—when scopes allow—`planetscale_execute_read_query` and `planetscale_execute_write_query` with replica routing, ephemeral credentials, and destructive-query safeguards per the January 2026 changelog. PlanetScale notes the older local CLI MCP path is deprecated in favor of the hosted HTTP server for Cursor, Claude Code, and other MCP clients.
