Other clients

Any client that speaks remote MCP can connect to Rendley. Point it at the endpoint and authenticate by signing in or with an API key. The steps below cover the clients people ask about most; the same pattern works for the rest.

Endpoint and auth

https://mcp.rendley.com/mcp
  • Sign in: point the client at the URL with no header and approve access in the browser tab it opens.
  • API key: send Authorization: Bearer YOUR_RENDLEY_API_KEY. The Bearer prefix (with the trailing space) is required. See Get an API key for the step-by-step.

See Authentication for the full reference.

Config block

Most clients accept a JSON config like this. Match the keys your client expects:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rendley": {
      "url": "https://mcp.rendley.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_RENDLEY_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Common variants: some clients want "type": "http", some use serverUrl instead of url. For sign-in, drop the headers block and let the client run the browser flow.

Per-client notes

  • Cursor. Settings, then MCP, then Add new MCP server. Native HTTP and sign-in are supported.
  • VS Code (Copilot). Run MCP: Add Server, choose HTTP, and paste the URL.
  • Windsurf. Uses serverUrl with "type": "streamable-http". If your build does not connect directly, use the bridge below.
  • Zed. The remote URL form does not accept custom headers yet, so use the bridge below to sign in or send a key.
  • Perplexity. Settings, then Connectors, then Add a connector, then Custom MCP server, and sign in. Available on paid tiers.

Clients without native remote MCP

If a client only speaks local MCP, bridge to the remote server with mcp-remote:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rendley": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.rendley.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:Bearer YOUR_RENDLEY_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Drop the --header argument to sign in through the browser instead.

Verify

Ask the client what it can do, then try a simple request:

What can Rendley do here?

List my projects.

If it lists the Rendley tools and your projects, you’re connected.
