Fix Error: redisUrl is required

🔎 Details

resolves #16

MCP Server

• pnpm add dotenv@latest
• add lib/env.ts for loading REDIS_URL
• extend route.ts to pass redisUrl to @vercel/mcp-adapter#createMcpServer param Config[redisUrl] https://github.com/vercel/mcp-adapter/blob/7149159/src/next/mcp-api-handler.ts#L75
• add .nvmrc (lts/*)

MCP Client

• pnpm add -D @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@latest
• extend package.json#scripts (test:client)

✅ How to Test

1. 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

2. in another terminal, run pnpm test:client http://localhost:3000
