What is Render MCP Server?
A Model Context Protocol server that enables AI assistants to interact with the Render API for deploying and managing services on Render.com. It covers all official Render MCP features plus mutating operations like triggering deploys, deleting resources, and managing custom domains.
How to use Render MCP Server?
Install globally: npm install -g @niyogi/render-mcp. Obtain a Render API key from the Render Dashboard, then run render-mcp configure --api-key=YOUR_API_KEY (or render-mcp configure to be prompted). Start the server with render-mcp start. Connect your AI assistant by configuring it to launch the server—for example, for Claude Code use claude mcp add render -e RENDER_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY -- npx -y @niyogi/render-mcp start.
