# Upstash Redis for Agents

A zero-config Redis database for AI agents — no signup, no UI.

`Idempotency-Key` header:

  curl -X POST -H "Idempotency-Key: <uuidv4>" \
    -H "User-Agent: <your-agent-name>" https://upstash.com/start-redis

This endpoint does not require authentication. It returns a markdown document that explains how to create a free, temporary Redis database with POST /start-redis, including how the Idempotency-Key header works and how the database can be claimed later. It is meant to be read by AI agents: point an agent at https://upstash.com/start-redis and it has everything it needs.

This endpoint doesn’t require any parameters.
