Access Upstash Developer APIs through standardized MCP protocol for enhanced LLM context management.

What is Upstash MCP?

Upstash MCP enables Cursor to communicate with Upstash's API directly through the Model Context Protocol. This integration lets AI assistants in Cursor access and manage Upstash resources without requiring you to switch contexts.

Setting Up Upstash MCP

Step 1: Access MCP Settings

Open Cursor and navigate to Settings → Features → MCP section to manage your Model Context Protocol connections.

Step 2: Add Upstash Server

Click the “+ Add New MCP Server” button and fill in the configuration details for Upstash.

Step 3: Configure Connection

Enter the following information:

  • Name: Upstash
  • Type: Select the appropriate transport (usually SSE)
  • URL: Enter the Upstash MCP endpoint
  • API Key: Add your Upstash API key if required

Step 4: Verify Connection

After adding the server, it should appear in your MCP servers list. Click the refresh button to confirm the tools are available.

Using Upstash with Cursor

Once you've set up the Upstash MCP connection, Cursor can interact with Upstash services directly. Here's how to use it:

  • Automatic detection: Cursor will recognize when your prompts relate to Upstash and will suggest using the appropriate tools.
  • Direct reference: You can explicitly mention Upstash in your prompts to activate the integration.
  • Task approval: When Cursor wants to use Upstash MCP, it will request your approval before executing the action.

Example Use Cases

Here are some ways you can leverage the Upstash MCP integration:

  • Ask Cursor to fetch information from your Upstash account
  • Request Cursor to perform routine Upstash operations
  • Use Cursor to analyze and work with your Upstash data directly

Note:

MCP tools may not be compatible with all AI models in Cursor. For best results, use with Claude models which have the strongest MCP support.
