Upstash Redis for Agents (start-redis)

A zero-config Redis database for AI agents — no signup, no UI, no SDK setup. One HTTP request returns a working endpoint + token. Databases live for 3 days unless the user claims them.

Use this when:

• The agent needs Redis right now and the user has not given you credentials.
• You want short-term memory across tool calls, conversation history, a sub-agent work queue, or recent-first ranked recall.

This is built for quick experiments, prototypes, and demos rather than production workloads or anything tied to a real user account — the database is temporary and unauthenticated until claimed, so keep PII, secrets, and production credentials out of it.

Create or re-fetch a database

# Generate a fresh UUIDv4 yourself, then POST it as the Idempotency-Key.
# The UUIDv4 you send becomes the database id.
curl -X POST -H "Idempotency-Key: <uuidv4>" https://upstash.com/start-redis
