Adds a read-only MCP server (apps/mcp) so AI assistants like Claude Code and Cursor can read server info, big keys and hot keys from Valkey through Valkey Admin.
AI assistant --HTTP--> MCP server --WebSocket--> Valkey Admin server --> Valkey
The MCP server doesn't connect to Valkey itself. It uses the Admin server's existing WebSocket API like a browser tab does, so connections, cluster discovery and metrics are reused rather than duplicated.
Changes
New apps/mcp workspace: three tools (get_server_info, get_big_keys, get_hot_keys) over HTTP, bound to 127.0.0.1.
Admin server: with VALKEY_ADMIN_MCP_ENABLED=true, it starts the MCP server as a child process and proxies /mcp/* to it on port 8080. Web mode only; the
desktop app ignores the flag.
WebSocket auth (websocket-origin.ts): accepts a per-start internal token, so the child process can connect without adding an origin to the allowlist.
Docker, CI and dev: the image ships apps/mcp/dist, CI runs the MCP tests, and npm run dev also starts the MCP server.
Docs: new features/mcp.md page, plus updates to the server config, Docker and contributing docs.

How it runs
Docker / Web mode. Set VALKEY_ADMIN_MCP_ENABLED=true and the Admin server starts the MCP server as a child process.
The MCP server listens on 127.0.0.1:8081 inside the container. That port isn't published; the Admin server proxies /mcp and /mcp/* from port 8080.
Each deployment in VALKEY_ADMIN_MCP_TARGETS gets its own path, e.g. /mcp/prod.
If the Admin server isn't bound to loopback (Docker sets SERVER_BIND_HOST=0.0.0.0), the MCP server only starts when VALKEY_ADMIN_MCP_TOKEN and VALKEY_ADMIN_MCP_TARGETS are both set.
The desktop app ignores VALKEY_ADMIN_MCP_ENABLED and logs a warning.
Local dev.npm run dev also starts the MCP server on http://localhost:8081/mcp, with no token or targets. The assistant picks Valkey with X-Valkey-* headers.
Security model
There are two tokens, one per hop:
VALKEY_ADMIN_MCP_TOKEN
Internal WebSocket token
Protects
Assistant → MCP server (HTTP)
MCP server → Admin server (WebSocket)
Created by
The operator (≥ 32 chars)
The Admin server, randomBytes(32) on every start
Sent as
Authorization: Bearer <token>
?token= on the WebSocket URL
Read-only by construction: tools take no raw commands, and admin-client.ts sends only an allowlist of three read actions.
Server-chosen targets: with targets set, the URL picks the deployment. X-Valkey-* headers are refused, so an assistant can't reach other hosts or send credentials.
Loopback only: the MCP server binds to 127.0.0.1 and refuses requests with a non-local Origin. Without a token, the Host header must also be local.
Least privilege: the docs give an exact ACL rule for a read-only Valkey user (VALKEY_ADMIN_MCP_USERNAME/PASSWORD).

Walkthrough
This pull request adds a read-only MCP server with Valkey Admin tools, request authentication, target selection, and web-server proxy integration. It also adds workspace commands, tests, and documentation for setup and deployment.
Changes: MCP server
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Configuration and target selection apps/mcp/src/config.ts, apps/mcp/src/targets.ts, apps/mcp/src/__tests__/config.test.ts, apps/mcp/src/__tests__/targets.test.ts
Adds environment and header validation, named target parsing, and request-to-target selection. Tests cover valid and invalid configurations, target addresses, and paths.
WebSocket client and read-only tools apps/mcp/src/admin-client.ts, apps/mcp/src/tools/*, apps/mcp/src/__tests__/admin-client.test.ts
Adds a WebSocket client restricted to read actions and tools for server info, big keys, and hot keys. Not-ready errors are retried, and tests cover client actions and replies.
MCP HTTP entry point and caller validation apps/mcp/src/auth.ts, apps/mcp/src/index.ts, apps/mcp/src/__tests__/auth.test.ts, apps/mcp/src/__tests__/http.test.ts
Adds bearer-token or local-host checks, Origin validation, request routing, and MCP request handling. HTTP tests cover authentication, target paths, headers, and startup errors.
Web server process and request proxy apps/server/src/mcp-process.ts, apps/server/src/websocket-origin.ts, apps/server/src/index.ts, apps/server/src/__tests__/mcp-process.test.ts, apps/server/src/__tests__/websocket-origin.test.ts
Adds MCP child-process management and request proxying. The server registers an internal WebSocket token for the child and stops the process during shutdown.
Adds the MCP workspace and development commands, a test workflow step, Docker ignore patterns, and MCP setup, configuration, and deployment documentation.
The new MCP server has several open concerns from the earlier review. These cover connection handling, concurrent request correctness, CI setup, and a documented read-only ACL that still permits some disruptive commands. Resolve the more material ones before merging.

Explanation
The title "Feature/valkey admin mcp server" names the main change: a new MCP server for Valkey Admin under apps/mcp. It is brief and specific. It uses a branch-style "Feature/" prefix and does not describe the read-only tools or the Web-mode proxy. A teammate scanning history can still tell the primary change.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description has a Summary section and a detailed Changes section. It also covers how the feature runs, the security model, and a tools table. It does not include the required "Change Visualization" section with a before-and-after screenshot or video. The author may not have a visual to add, since this is a backend and CLI feature. The missing section is a template gap, not a gap in the core content.
Resolution
Add the "### Change Visualization" section under the "## Description" heading. Include a screenshot or video that shows the before and after state. If no visual applies, state that in the section (for example, "No UI change; the feature runs over HTTP and MCP clients."). Also rename the top-level "## Summary" heading to "## Description" to match the template.

- Line 9: The CI test workflow does not build valkey-common, whose required
common/dist output is absent from a fresh checkout. Update the workflow so it
builds Common after dependency installation and before any workspace tests that
import valkey-common; do not limit the prerequisite to the MCP test command.
Review comments at @apps/mcp/README.md:
- Line 168: Update the ACL SETUSER grant in the read-only Valkey credentials to
prevent access to CLIENT KILL through the broad +@connection grant. Remove
dangerous commands after category grants and restore only required
connection-command exceptions, or replace the broad category grant with explicit
required commands; preserve the existing read-only permissions.
Review comments at @apps/mcp/src/admin-client.ts:
- Line 115: Update the connection setup flow around `send` so every failure
after the WebSocket opens, including a connect-reply timeout, closes that
specific `ws` before propagating the error. Ensure cleanup does not depend on
the session promise retained by `connection()`.
- Line 57: Update createAdminClient to build connectionId from the normalized
Valkey endpoint so it matches the server’s normalization. Reuse the shared
normalized connection ID builder from valkey-common, while leaving the payload
host unchanged.
Review comments at @apps/mcp/src/auth.ts:
- Line 14: Update the bearer-scheme check in the code that derives `provided`
from `header` so it accepts `Bearer` in any casing while extracting the token
without changing its case. Add tests for lowercase and mixed-case schemes,
preserving the existing behavior for invalid schemes.
Review comments at @apps/mcp/src/index.ts:
- Around line 34-37: Concurrent get_big_keys calls can share one AdminClient and
consume each other’s replies; serialize same-action requests on the shared
client so each call receives its own response, preserving the existing client
reuse and reply handling. Locate the shared-client path around clients.get and
createAdminClient, and apply serialization to the get_big_keys request flow.
Review comments at @apps/mcp/src/tools/hot-keys.ts:
- Around line 49-52: Update the capability check around admin.details() and
missingRequirements() so it refreshes settings or reconnects through the
established mechanism before rejecting a hot-key request. Re-evaluate the
requirements against current settings, and retain the rejection when they are
still unmet.
Review comments at @apps/server/src/__tests__/websocket-origin.test.ts:
- Around line 257-259: Isolate the “rejects a wrong or missing internal token”
test suite from the configured origin allowlist by saving the existing
VALKEY_ADMIN_ALLOWED_WS_ORIGINS value, clearing it for the suite, and restoring
it afterward, including when tests fail. Keep the existing token-validation
assertions unchanged.
Review comments at @apps/server/src/mcp-process.ts:
- Line 87: Update the response forwarding around reply.pipe(res) to handle
premature closure of reply: when reply closes with reply.complete false, destroy
res so the MCP caller is not left waiting. Preserve normal completion behavior
and leave the upstream request error handling unchanged.
Review comments at @docs-site/src/content/docs/features/mcp.md:
- Line 78: Remove the broad +@connection and +@read grants from the ACL SETUSER
example, or explicitly exclude dangerous commands after the category grants;
then retain only the required commands and subcommands so the resulting
permissions match the restricted access described nearby.
- Line 38: Quote the password placeholder in the Docker command’s
VALKEY_ADMIN_MCP_PASSWORD environment-variable argument so the shell treats it
as a value rather than redirection syntax, while keeping the placeholder easy to
replace.
- Line 35: Update the Docker command in the MCP setup instructions to generate
the token in a shell variable first, then pass that variable as
VALKEY_ADMIN_MCP_TOKEN. Explain how to use the same variable’s value when
configuring the assistant.

Build valkey-common before the tests in CI.
valkey-common resolves to common/dist/index.js, and common/dist is not tracked. The MCP test command does not build it, so module loading can fail on a fresh checkout. The apps/server tests import valkey-common too, and the test workflow runs them before the MCP step. Because the workflow does not build common, the same prerequisite applies to every workspace that imports it. Add the build step to .github/workflows/test.yml rather than only to apps/mcp/package.json.

Build the connection ID from the normalized endpoint.
The client builds connectionId from the raw valkey.host. The server normalizes the host before it checks the ID. A host with uppercase letters, a trailing dot, or surrounding whitespace produces a different ID. For example, VALKEY_HOST=Cache.EXAMPLE produces Cache-EXAMPLE-6379-db0, and the server expects cache-example-6379-db0. The server then rejects connectPending with the connection ID mismatch error, so the MCP client cannot connect for that configuration.
The server normalizes the host in the payload itself, so only the identifier needs the normalized form.

Close the WebSocket when connection setup fails.
If the WebSocket opens but no connect reply arrives, send() rejects after 10 seconds. The rejection bypasses ws.close(), and connection() discards the session promise. Each retry can leave another WebSocket open. close() cannot reach those sockets.
Close ws on every failure after open(), including a reply timeout.

Isolate the rejection test from the configured origin allowlist.
If VALKEY_ADMIN_ALLOWED_WS_ORIGINS includes valkey-admin-mcp://localhost, every request in this test passes the existing origin allowlist after internal-token validation fails. The assertions therefore fail under the documented development configuration, even though production behavior is correct. Save, clear, and restore VALKEY_ADMIN_ALLOWED_WS_ORIGINS for this suite.

Close the downstream response when the upstream response aborts.
If the child exits after it starts a response, Node destroys the incomplete reply. This path does not complete reply.pipe(res) through an end event. The upstream request error handler does not cover this response-abort path, so the MCP caller can remain waiting until its own timeout. Handle premature response closure and destroy res when reply.complete is false. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
