Install mcp/redshift-mcp-server in Cline
What you need first
- Cline, installed.
- Docker, which
gives the
dockercommand the server starts with.
Steps
- In Cline, open the MCP Servers icon, then the Configure tab, and choose Configure MCP Servers.
It opens
cline_mcp_settings.json. - Add this block. If the file already has
mcpServers, add only the entry inside it.
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-redshift-mcp-server": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "docker.io/mcp/redshift-mcp-server"]
}
}
} - Save the file. Cline reloads it and lists the server under MCP Servers.
Check it worked
Ask Cline: List the tools of mcp-redshift-mcp-server.
If it does not start
- Cannot connect to the Docker daemon
- Docker is not running. Start it, then restart Cline.
- Nothing changes after a restart
- The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
