# Render (MCP)

> Integrate your application with Render via the Model Context Protocol (MCP)

## 🚀 Quickstart

Connect to the Render MCP server with Nango and see data flow in 2 minutes.

<Steps>
  <Step id="create-integration" title="Create the integration">
    In Nango ([free signup](https://app.nango.dev)), go to Integrations -> *Configure New Integration* -> *Render (MCP)*.
  </Step>

  <Step id="enter-api-key" title="Enter your Render API key">
    Go to Connections -> *Add Test Connection*, enter your Render API key from [Account Settings](https://dashboard.render.com/u/settings#api-keys), and save. Later, you'll let your users do the same directly from your app.
  </Step>

  <Step id="call-mcp-tool" title="Call a Render MCP tool">
    Make your first MCP request (initialize handshake). Replace the placeholders below with your [secret key](https://app.nango.dev/dev/environment-settings), [integration ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations), and [connection ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections):
