Redash MCP Server

What the code does

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Builds a file path from a variable src/bird/config.ts:34
    const p = path.join(dir, sub);

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add redash-mcp -- npx -y redash-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "redash-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "redash-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.redash-mcp]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "redash-mcp"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "redash-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "redash-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "redash-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "redash-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: REDASH_URL (Your Redash instance URL (e.g. https://redash.example.com)), REDASH_API_KEY (Your Redash user API key (found in Settings > Account)), REDASH_SAFETY_MODE (SQL safety mode: 'strict' blocks risky queries, 'warn' (default) returns warnings, 'off' disables guards (not recommended).), REDASH_SAFETY_DISABLE_PII (Set to 'true' to disable the PII column guard. Not recommended.), REDASH_SAFETY_DISABLE_COST (Set to 'true' to disable the query cost guard. Not recommended.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Redash MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Redash MCP?
Redash MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package redash-mcp was installed 305 times last week.
How do I connect Redash MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls redash-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Redash MCP?
The npm package redash-mcp was installed 305 times in the last week. Week over week that is -35%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Redash MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
