MCP Reference: memorystore.googleapis.com

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server acts as a proxy between an external service that provides context, data, or capabilities to a Large Language Model (LLM) or AI application. MCP servers connect AI applications to external systems such as databases and web services, translating their responses into a format that the AI application can understand.

Server Setup

You must enable MCP servers and set up authentication before use. For more information about using Google and Google Cloud remote MCP servers, see Google Cloud MCP servers overview.

This is an MCP server which provides tools to manage Memorystore for Valkey instances and backups.

Server Endpoints

An MCP service endpoint is the network address and communication interface (usually a URL) of the MCP server that an AI application (the Host for the MCP client) uses to establish a secure, standardized connection. It is the point of contact for the LLM to request context, call a tool, or access a resource. Google MCP endpoints can be global or regional.

The memorystore.googleapis.com MCP server has the following MCP endpoint:

  • https://memorystore.googleapis.com/mcp

MCP Tools

An MCP tool is a function or executable capability that an MCP server exposes to a LLM or AI application to perform an action in the real world.

The memorystore.googleapis.com MCP server has the following tools:

MCP Tools
list_instances List all Memorystore for Valkey instances.
get_instance Get detailed information about a Memorystore for Valkey instance.
create_instance Create a Memorystore for Valkey instance.
delete_instance Delete a Memorystore for Valkey instance.
update_instance Update a Memorystore for Valkey instance.
get_certificate_authority Get the certificate authority for a Memorystore for Valkey instance.
reschedule_maintenance Reschedule maintenance for a Memorystore for Valkey instance.
list_backup_collections List all Memorystore for Valkey backup collections.
get_backup_collection Get detailed information about a Memorystore for Valkey backup collection.
list_backups List all Memorystore for Valkey backups.
get_backup Get detailed information about a Memorystore for Valkey backup.
delete_backup Delete a Memorystore for Valkey backup.
export_backup Export a Memorystore for Valkey backup.
backup_instance Back up a Memorystore for Valkey instance.

Get MCP tool specifications

To get the MCP tool specifications for all tools in an MCP server, use the tools/list method. The following example demonstrates how to use curl to list all tools and their specifications currently available within the MCP server.

Curl Request 
                      curl --location 'https://memorystore.googleapis.com/mcp' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--header 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
--data '{
