Upstash

Connect an Upstash account with a Management API key to manage Redis databases and Vector indexes.

The Upstash connector uses the Upstash Management API. The agent can list, create and delete Redis databases, read usage and backups, and manage Vector indexes.

Connect

1. Create a Management API key

1. Open console.upstash.com and go to Account → Management API.
2. Click Create API Key and give it a name.
3. Copy the key right away. Upstash shows it only once.

2. Connect in Pangea

As a team Administrator, open Connectors → Connect → Upstash and fill in:

Pangea verifies the email and key with Upstash, then stores the key encrypted.

Management access is broad

This is not a single Redis database's REST token. The Management API key reaches your whole Upstash account and is not read-only. It can reveal database connection credentials, and with them your data as well as your configuration.

Pangea hands this key to the agent when it needs it. Only team Administrators and Editors can get it. Check who may use the connection before you select it in a conversation, and limit it with a member allow-list.

Verify and use

Ask the agent for a read-only list of Redis databases or Vector indexes. Check that the account and regions are the ones you expect.

The agent can inspect usage, backups, endpoints, regions and plans, and run supported management operations. Creating, changing or deleting a database can cost money or destroy data. Name the exact target, and review significant cloud work with plans.

Rotate and remove

If authentication fails, check the account email and that the key is a Management API key, not a database token. To replace a revoked key, remove the connection and connect again with the new key.

To end access, remove the connection in Pangea and revoke the key in Upstash. Disconnecting does not delete any databases.
