Render Useful MCP

Overview

Render Useful MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: MCP server for the Render Public API: all 207 endpoints plus workflow tools. In practice that means any MCP-compatible AI assistant can call Render Useful MCP's tools directly — the model decides when to use them in a conversation or agent run.

It runs locally: the npm package render-useful-mcp speaks MCP over stdio on your machine. Configuration happens through environment variables — you'll need RENDER_API_KEY. The current release is v1.4.0, published under the MIT license, with source at LuSrodri/render-useful-mcp on GitHub.

Render Useful MCP is listed under Development on mcp.site and works with any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed and the rest of the ecosystem — using the install snippets below.
