✅ How to Test

1. checkout my forked fix branch at Fix Error: redisUrl is required vercel-labs/mcp-for-next.js#17 (https://github.com/servant-io/mcp-for-next.js/tree/fix/redisUrl)
2. run:

   #/usr/bin/env bash
   nvm install
   nvm use
   pnpm install -D
   
   # https://github.com/redis/node-redis/blob/9ea260f/packages/client/lib/client/index.ts#L33
   # replace `redis[s]://[[username][:password]@][host][:port][/db-number]` with your actual `REDIS_URL`
   echo "REDIS_URL=\"redis[s]://[[username][:password]@][host][:port][/db-number]\"" > .env.local
   
   pnpm build
   pnpm dev

3. in another terminal, run:

   #/usr/bin/env bash
   nvm install
   nvm use
   
   # no need to globally install mcp sdk because I
   # rolled it into the dev dependencies
   # npm i -g @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@latest
   
   pnpm test:client http://localhost:3000

4. 🔴 see that the output no longer reads:

   > [email protected] dev /Users/patrick/src/servant-io/mcp-for-next.js
   > next dev
   
      ▲ Next.js 15.2.4

5. 🟢 instead, see that the output now reads:

   > next dev

   # (coming soon - what is the expected result?)
