Access and checks
How we reviewBroad accessThe tool can change data, run commands or handle secrets.
- Creates paid resources and triggers deploys
- Changes environment variables of production services
This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.
What it does
The server gives the agent access to Render resources. The agent creates web services, static sites, cron jobs, Postgres databases and Key Value stores, updates environment variables and triggers deploys. For troubleshooting it filters logs and fetches CPU, memory, request and latency metrics. It can run read-only queries against Render-hosted Postgres.
Who it is for. For developers who host apps and databases on Render.
Good fit when
- You need to find why a deploy failed or latency grew
- You need a service or database for a prototype quickly
- You want to look at Postgres data without a separate client
Not a fit when
- Your apps are hosted elsewhere
- You need to edit existing service settings: the server only returns a dashboard link
Example request

- Transport
- http, stdio
- Authentication
- API key
Environment variables
RENDER_API_KEYrequired, secret- Render API key for the local run
Limitations
Requires a Render account and API key; resources created on paid plans cost money. Settings of existing services cannot be changed through the server. Postgres queries are read-only. Render does not serve users in Russia, so the server does not work without a VPN and a foreign account.
How to disable. Run claude mcp remove render or delete the render block from the client config, then revoke the API key in Render settings.
FAQ
Can I run it locally?
Yes, Render docs describe the ghcr.io/render-oss/render-mcp-server Docker image or a prebuilt binary with RENDER_API_KEY.
Is there a Claude Code plugin?
Yes, Render docs suggest /plugin install render@claude-plugins-official.

README in short
The README points to Render docs for setup and lists use cases: creating resources, monitoring logs and deploys, metrics and Postgres queries. Most of it documents each tool with parameters: workspaces, services, deploys, logs, metrics, Postgres and Key Value. Apache 2.0 licensed.
