apphost-port

Render services as MCP tools, talking to the Render REST API. apphost-port is a clean-room rebuild of the core surface of the Render MCP server, under a new name: fresh code, no copied branding. The original is Render's official hosted MCP (remote/OAuth); hosted OAuth is NOT reproduced — this rebuild is an API-key REST client for the same API.

Tools (core subset, 12)

list_services, get_service, create_service, update_service, delete_service, suspend_service, resume_service, list_deploys, get_deploy, trigger_deploy, list_env_vars, list_service_logs.

Not in this subset: static sites / cron jobs / background workers creation depth beyond the generic create_service, Postgres and Key Value (Redis-compatible) data services, disks, blueprints/IaC sync, metrics depth, log streams/sinks, custom domains management, team/user admin, billing, deploy hooks and webhooks admin, SSH/shell access.

Setup

Create an API key in your Render dashboard and set it:

export RENDER_API_KEY=rnd_...

Optionally override the API base with RENDER_API_BASE_URL (default https://api.render.com/v1). Without the key, every tool call fails with an error naming the missing variable. create_service requires the workspace owner_id and defaults the service type to web_service.

CLI

npx @reneturcios/apphost-port list_services '{"limit":10}'
npx @reneturcios/apphost-port mcp        # stdio MCP server

Each tool name is a subcommand taking one JSON object argument.
