Render Automation via Rube MCP
Automate Render cloud platform operations through Composio's Render toolkit via Rube MCP.
Prerequisites
- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
- Active Render connection via
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit render
- Always call
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas
Setup
Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.
- Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
- Call
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit render
- If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Render authentication
- Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
Core Workflows
1. List and Browse Services
When to use: User wants to find or inspect Render services (web services, static sites, workers, cron jobs)
Tool sequence:
RENDER_LIST_SERVICES - List all services with optional filters [Required]
Key parameters:
name: Filter services by name substringtype: Filter by service type ('web_service', 'static_site', 'private_service', 'background_worker', 'cron_job')limit: Maximum results per page (default 20, max 100)cursor: Pagination cursor from previous response
Pitfalls:
- Service types must match exact enum values: 'web_service', 'static_site', 'private_service', 'background_worker', 'cron_job'
- Pagination uses cursor-based approach; follow
cursor until absent
- Name filter is substring-based, not exact match
- Service IDs follow the format 'srv-xxxxxxxxxxxx'
- Default limit is 20; set higher for comprehensive listing
2. Trigger Deployments
When to use: User wants to manually deploy or redeploy a service
Tool sequence:
RENDER_LIST_SERVICES - Find the service to deploy [Prerequisite]
