    Using Render with LLM-Powered Tools

    Interact with Render's platform and docs via AI apps and agents.

    Render supports a variety of capabilities to help you manage your infrastructure, diagnose issues, and understand the platform with the help of LLMs.

    Render MCP server

    Connect to Render's official MCP server to manage your Render infrastructure directly from apps like Cursor and Claude Code:

    The MCP server provides tools for actions such as:

    • Spinning up new services
    • Querying databases
    • Analyzing metrics and logs

    It's especially useful for helping you identify and resolve issues with service deploys.

    Jules integration

    Jules by Google Labs is an autonomous coding agent that provides a managed integration with Render. Whenever you open a pull request in your service's repo, Jules can detect failures in your service's preview build and automatically push fixes to address them.

    Prerequisites

    • Your Render service's repo must be hosted on GitHub.
    • Jules must have access to your service's repo.
    • Pull request previews must be enabled for your service.
      • These are the preview builds that Jules uses to detect and address issues.

    Setup

    1. Go to dashboard.render.com/jules.

      This opens the API Keys section of your user settings with a Jules-specific section:

      Jules API Keys section

    2. Next to the Jules by Google Labs section, click + Create API Key.

      A creation dialog appears.

    3. Review and accept the terms for Render's Jules integration, then click Create API Key.

    4. Copy the created API key to your clipboard.

    5. Open your Jules integrations page:

      Jules integrations page

    6. Under the Render integration, paste the API key you copied and submit it.

    You're all set! Whenever a pull request preview fails for your repo, Jules will automatically analyze its logs to identify the root cause and push a fix to address it.

    You can disconnect the integration at any time by deleting the API key from the Jules integrations page.

    Documentation features

    The Render documentation provides the following capabilities to improve content discoverability and parsing for LLMs:

    Articles as markdown

    Each article under render.com/docs/ is available in a simplified markdown format that's well suited for LLMs.

    Obtain an article's markdown version by doing any of the following:

    • Append .md to the end of an article's URL:

    • Include an Accept: text/markdown header in your request to an article's URL (no .md extension required).

      • Agentic tools like Claude Code often include this header in their HTTP requests by default.

    • Click Copy page in the top-right corner of an article to copy its markdown version to your clipboard (not available on smaller screen widths).

    Reading llms.txt and llms-full.txt

    The Render documentation includes llms.txt and llms-full.txt files at the following URLs:

    FileDescription

    llms.txt

    Provides a summary of the Render documentation, including links and descriptions of each article.

    llms-full.txt

    Combines most of the Render documentation into a single, simplified markdown file. Some content types are omitted for brevity.

    Docs via MCP

    This feature is experimental.

    Support for this documentation-specific MCP server might be discontinued at any time in the future.

    Render's primary MCP server does not yet provide tools for querying the Render documentation.

    To query the Render docs from LLMs, you can connect your app or agent to the following additional MCP server:

    This MCP server provides "tools" for searching and asking questions about the Render docs. It uses the same LLM-powered answer engine as the Ask AI assistant in the documentation.
