SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Setting up and switching between multiple Redash instances (dev, staging, production) as MCP servers requires manual configuration of environment variables and MCP entries, which is error-prone and hard to track. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Single-environment setup: Connect one Redash instance by setting REDASH_URL and REDASH_API_KEY in the project .env file. - Multi-environment management: Add, list, inspect, and remove additional Redash MCP servers using suffix-based naming (e.g., redash-dev, redash-stg). - Configuration auditing: Check which environment variables are set and which MCP servers are active with /redash-list and /redash-status. - Use Case: A data analyst working across dev and production Redash instances runs /redash-add dev and /redash-add stg, sets the corresponding environment variables, and verifies everything with /redash-status before querying. ## Quick Start Set REDASH_URL and REDASH_API_KEY in your project .env file, then ask the AI to show the active Redash MCP configuration using the redash-status command.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect Redash to an MCP client?▼

Set REDASH_URL and REDASH_API_KEY in your project's .env file, then install the plugin. The redash MCP server appears automatically in the /mcp list after installation.

How do I add multiple Redash environments like dev and staging?▼

Run /redash-add with a suffix such as dev or stg, then define the matching environment variables (e.g., REDASH_DEV_URL and REDASH_DEV_API_KEY) in your .env file. Verify the setup with /redash-list.

What naming rules apply to Redash environment suffixes?▼

Suffixes can use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens, and hyphens become underscores in environment variable names (sandbox-1 becomes REDASH_SANDBOX_1_URL). The name default is reserved for the bundled redash MCP server.

Can I remove the default Redash MCP server?▼

No, the bundled redash MCP server included with the plugin cannot be removed. You can only remove environments you added yourself with /redash-remove <suffix>.

Why is my added Redash environment not showing up?▼

The MCP server only activates when its environment variables are set. Run /redash-status to check which REDASH_<SUFFIX>_URL and REDASH_<SUFFIX>_API_KEY variables are missing from your .env file.
