Render MCP Server — Hosted for Any AI Agent

mcp-render — Render MCP Server

List services, trigger deploys, manage environment variables, and view logs on Render from any AI agent.

Render is a unified cloud platform for deploying web services, static sites, cron jobs, and background workers from Git. This MCP server connects your AI agents to the Render REST API — letting them list services, check deploy status, trigger new deploys, manage environment variables, inspect custom domains, and pull logs, all from natural language without opening the Render dashboard.

Live endpoint: https://mcp.aerostack.dev/s/aerostack/mcp-render

What You Can Do

• List all Render services with type and status filters to get a quick overview of your infrastructure
• Trigger deploys and optionally clear the build cache for a fresh start
• Check deploy status and history to see what shipped and when
• Manage environment variables — list, set, or delete without touching the dashboard
• View custom domains and their verification status
• Pull deploy logs to diagnose build or runtime failures

Quick Start

Add to Aerostack Workspace

1. Go to aerostack.dev → Your Project → MCPs
2. Search for "Render" and click Add to Workspace
3. Add your RENDER_API_KEY under Project → Secrets

Once added, every AI agent in your workspace can manage your Render services automatically — no per-user setup needed.

Example Prompts

"List all my Render services and show which ones are currently live"
"Trigger a deploy for my API service and clear the build cache"
"Show me the last 5 deploys for service srv-abc123 — did any fail?"
"What environment variables are set on my worker service?"
"Get the deploy logs for the most recent failed deploy on my web app"

Direct API Call

curl -X POST https://mcp.aerostack.dev/s/aerostack/mcp-render \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'X-Mcp-Secret-RENDER-API-KEY: rnd_your-api-key' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"list_services","arguments":{}}}'

Security Notes

• RENDER_API_KEY is injected at the Aerostack gateway layer — never stored in this worker's code
• The API key grants full account access — use a scoped API key if Render supports it
• Environment variable values are returned in plaintext; be mindful of sensitive values in AI agent responses
