Render MCP Server (hosted)
Pick it to spin up Render services, check deploys and read logs or metrics from the agent; it can rewrite env vars and trigger deploys, so review those calls.
Install
Connect to https://mcp.render.com/mcp. Claude Code: `/plugin install render@claude-plugins-official`, or `claude mcp add --transport http render https://mcp.render.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>"`; Codex: `codex mcp add render --url https://mcp.render.com/mcp --oauth-client-id codex`; Cursor: `/add-plugin render`. Then tell the agent which Render workspace to use. Official install docs ↗
Credentials: Render account via OAuth (official plugins for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor; Claude Desktop connector), or a Render API key as an Authorization: Bearer header. The API key grants access to all your workspaces and services.
What it can access
Acts on the selected Render workspace: creates web services, static sites, cron jobs, Render Postgres and Key Value; lists services; updates all environment variables of a service; triggers deploys; reads logs and metrics; runs read-only SQL on Render Postgres. No deletes or scaling changes.
