What's Inside

Slash Commands2

check-render-status

/check-render-status

Check the health and status of Render services.

deploy-to-render

/deploy-to-render

Deploy the current project to Render.

Agents1

render-assistant

/render-assistant

Render deployment specialist that helps with render.yaml authoring, service configuration, debugging, and monitoring.

Skills21

render-mcp

/render-mcp

Connects and configures the Render MCP server for AI coding tools—setup per tool (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex), authentication, workspace selection, tool catalog, and troubleshooting. Use when MCP is not configured, list_services() fails, the user asks about Render MCP setup, or an action skill needs MCP but it's not connected yet. Trigger terms: MCP, Render MCP, list_services, MCP setup, MCP server, API key, Bearer token, mcp.render.com, workspace selection.

render-background-workers

/render-background-workers

Sets up and configures background workers on Render for queue-based job processing. Use when the user needs to process async jobs, consume from a queue, run Celery/Sidekiq/BullMQ/Asynq/Oban workers, handle graceful shutdown with SIGTERM, wire a worker to Key Value (Redis), or choose between workers and cron jobs for background work. Trigger terms: background worker, async jobs, queue consumer, Celery, Sidekiq, BullMQ, Asynq, Oban, job processing, SIGTERM, graceful shutdown.

render-blueprints

/render-blueprints

Authors and validates render.yaml Blueprints for Render infrastructure. Use when the user needs to write or edit a render.yaml, wire services together with fromDatabase/fromService/fromGroup, set up projects and environments for multi-service apps, configure preview environments, validate against the schema, or fix immutable field errors. Trigger terms: render.yaml, Blueprint, IaC, fromDatabase, fromService, envVarGroups, previews, projects, environments.

render-cli

/render-cli

Installs and uses the Render CLI for deploys, logs, SSH, psql, Blueprint validation, and automation. Use when the user needs to run Render CLI commands, script deploys in CI/CD, authenticate with an API key, query services non-interactively, or troubleshoot CLI auth issues. Trigger terms: render CLI, render login, render deploys, render logs, render ssh, render psql, render blueprints validate, render skills, RENDER_API_KEY, non-interactive, CI/CD deploy.

render-cron-jobs

/render-cron-jobs

Configures and troubleshoots scheduled tasks on Render using cron job services. Use when the user needs to run something on a schedule, write a cron expression, set up a periodic job, migrate from Heroku Scheduler, choose between cron jobs and background workers, or fix a cron that isn't firing. Trigger terms: cron job, scheduled task, periodic job, cron expression, schedule, run every, timer, Heroku Scheduler migration.

Render Claude plugin

Use Render from Claude Code to deploy apps, validate render.yaml, debug failed deploys, monitor services, and work through common platform workflows.

What you get

The Render MCP server preconfigured over OAuth (.mcp.json) so Claude can manage services, deploys, logs, metrics, and databases directly — no API key required
Bundled Render skills for deployment, debugging, monitoring, migrations, and workflows (synced from render-oss/skills)
A render-assistant agent that specializes in Render deploys
Slash commands: /deploy-to-render and /check-render-status
A PostToolUse hook that validates render.yaml whenever you edit it
Helper scripts at scripts/ for skills sync and Blueprint validation

Install the plugin

Add this repo as a Claude Code marketplace, then install the render plugin from it:

/plugin marketplace add render-oss/render-plugin-claude-code
/plugin install render

Install locally for development

Clone this repo, then add it as a local marketplace:

git clone https://github.com/render-oss/render-plugin-claude-code.git

In Claude Code, point at the local checkout:

/plugin marketplace add ./render-plugin-claude-code
/plugin install render

Restart Claude Code if the plugin doesn't show up immediately.

Get started

Use the plugin to:

Deploy a project to Render
Validate and troubleshoot render.yaml
Debug failed deploys and check service status
Work through common setup and migration tasks

Good first prompts:

Help me deploy this project to Render.
Help me validate my render.yaml for Render.
Debug a failed Render deployment.

You can also run the slash commands directly:

/deploy-to-render
/check-render-status

Set up the Render CLI

The plugin uses the Render CLI for live operations and Blueprint validation. Most workflows depend on it.

Install the Render CLI:

brew install render

Authenticate:

render login

Verify access:

render whoami -o json

If render whoami -o json fails, fix authentication before relying on Render workflows in Claude Code.

MCP server

The plugin bundles Render's MCP server through the .mcp.json at the repo root, so Claude can manage your Render services, deploys, logs, metrics, and databases directly.

Authentication is handled over OAuth — you don't need an API key. The first time Claude uses a Render MCP tool, it opens your browser to sign in to Render and authorize access to https://mcp.render.com/mcp. After you approve, Claude connects automatically on future runs.

The MCP server and the Render CLI (below) are complementary: MCP covers day-to-day service, log, metric, and database operations, while the CLI still backs Blueprint validation and other CLI-only workflows.

For maintainers

Run the sync script to refresh skills/ from render-oss/skills:

./scripts/sync-skills.sh

GitHub Actions also runs .github/workflows/sync-skills.yml each day and opens a pull request when upstream skills change.
