The Upstash CLI (upstash) manages Upstash services via the Upstash Developer API. All commands are non-interactive and emit JSON on stdout. Errors go to stderr as { "error": "..." } with exit code 1.
Authentication
Recommended: run upstash login once per machine. Prompts for email and a Developer API key (create one at https://console.upstash.com/account/api), verifies them, and saves to ~/.config/upstash/config.json.
upstash login
Alternatives — env vars (also auto-loaded from a .env in cwd), or --email / --api-key inline, or --env-path <path> to point at a specific .env:
export [email protected]
export UPSTASH_API_KEY=your_api_key
Precedence: flags > env vars > .env > saved config. Prefer a read-only API key for agents when possible — mutations fail at the API, the same way they would in the console.

Regions — AWS: us-east-1, us-east-2, us-west-1, us-west-2, ca-central-1, eu-central-1, eu-west-1, eu-west-2, sa-east-1, ap-south-1, ap-northeast-1, ap-southeast-1, ap-southeast-2, af-south-1. GCP: us-central1, us-east4, europe-west1, asia-northeast1.
Redis backups
upstash redis backup list --db-id
upstash redis backup create --db-id --name
upstash redis backup delete --db-id --backup-id [--dry-run]
upstash redis backup restore --db-id --backup-id
upstash redis backup {enable,disable}-daily --db-id
Redis exec (REST, not the Developer API key)
upstash redis exec --db-url --db-token SET key value
upstash redis exec --db-url --db-token --json '["SET","key","value"]'
--db-url / --db-token fall back to UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL / UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN. Get both from endpoint and rest_token in upstash redis get --db-id <id>.
Team
upstash team list
upstash team create --name [--copy-cc]
upstash team delete --team-id [--dry-run]
upstash team members --team-id
upstash team add-member --team-id --member-email --role
upstash team remove-member --team-id --member-email [--dry-run]
Vector

upstash vector set-plan --index-id --plan
upstash vector transfer --index-id --target-account
upstash vector stats # aggregate across all indexes
upstash vector index-stats --index-id [--period ]
Regions: eu-west-1, us-east-1, us-central1. Similarity: COSINE, EUCLIDEAN, DOT_PRODUCT. Index types: DENSE, SPARSE, HYBRID. Dense models: BGE_SMALL_EN_V1_5, BGE_BASE_EN_V1_5, BGE_LARGE_EN_V1_5, BGE_M3. Sparse models: BM25, BGE_M3. For HYBRID with managed embeddings, set --dimension-count 0.

upstash search create --name --region --type
upstash search delete --index-id [--dry-run]
upstash search rename --index-id --name

Conventions
-
Pipe any output to
jqfor field extraction, e.g.upstash redis list | jq '.[].database_id'. -
Use
--dry-runfirst on anydeleteorremove-member. -
Use
--hide-credentialsonredis getwhen the password isn't needed.
