Redis
· #63 most-usedLightning-fast in-memory data store for your agents
Redis is the world's fastest in-memory data structure server — a battle-hardened cache, message broker, and real-time database used by millions of applications. Once your agent is connected, it can read and write keys in microseconds, coordinate distributed workflows via pub/sub, manage queues without a heavyweight broker, and maintain shared state across every tool in your stack. From caching slow database queries to building leaderboards and session stores, Redis gives your agent a sub-millisecond data layer that never becomes the bottleneck.
Eliminates manual work. Connecting Redis eliminates manual cache-invalidation scripts, hand-crafted polling loops, and the per-engineer cost of debugging stale data — agents handle each atomically and instantly.
What your Redis agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Redis × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Auto-resolve repeated support requests
When the same customer emails the same issue twice within 24 hours, your agent catches the duplicate instantly. It reads the prior ticket ID from Redis, links the new email to the open case, increments a repeat-contact counter, and blocks the Google Calendar slot for a proactive callback — all before a human even opens Gmail.

How to plug Redis into Actionist
Pick the connection method that suits your environment.
The Redis MCP server gives your agent natural-language access to every Redis operation — GET, SET, INCR, LPUSH, ZADD, PUBLISH — without writing a single line of code. It is the fastest path from question to answer.
Find Redis in the Apps library and click Connect. MCP is selected by default.
Provide your Redis host (e.g. redis-12345.redis.cloud), port, and password. For Redis Cloud, copy the endpoint from your Redis Cloud console.
Actionist runs a PING against your instance to verify the handshake. You're ready to start reading and writing keys.
15 actions your agent can call
