This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: RENDER_API_KEY (Render API key, created at https://dashboard.render.com/u/settings#api-keys), RENDER_WORKSPACE_ID (Default workspace, applied wherever a tool needs an ownerId and the caller omitted one.), RENDER_MCP_TOOLSETS (Comma-separated toolsets to expose, or 'all'. Defaults to all 17 toolsets.), RENDER_MCP_READ_ONLY (Expose only non-mutating tools.), RENDER_MCP_DYNAMIC_TOOLSETS (Registers the render_toolsets tool, which reports which toolsets exist and which are enabled.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Render Useful MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Render Useful MCP?
Render Useful MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package render-useful-mcp was installed 77 times last week.
How do I connect Render Useful MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls render-useful-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Render Useful MCP?
The npm package render-useful-mcp was installed 77 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Render Useful MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
