How to add Upstash QStash queues with Claude Code

Upstash QStash scores 5/5 on our Claude Code fit scale: vendor plugin bundling skills (incl. upstash-qstash-js) + remote MCP with QStash tools. These steps use only Upstash QStash’s and Anthropic’s official instructions; each step links its source.

  1. 1

    Have Claude Code and a Upstash QStash account ready

    You need Claude Code installed and an account with Upstash QStash (upstash.com). Some tools only need the account when the agent first calls a live tool.

  2. 2

    Install the official Upstash QStash plugin

    Run this in Claude Code (or your terminal, as the source shows):

    /plugin marketplace add upstash/skills
    /plugin install upstash@upstash

  3. 3

    Connect and verify

    Run /mcp inside a Claude Code session to see connected servers, check status and complete sign-in where the server uses OAuth.

Then just ask

Example prompt (our suggestion, not from vendor docs):

“Help me add Upstash QStash queues in this project. Follow the Upstash QStash docs, keep secrets in environment variables, and show me the plan before changing files.”
