Connect a client

Other clients

Any client that speaks remote MCP can connect. Point it at the endpoint and sign in.

https://mcp.rendley.com/mcp/automation

Config block

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rendley": {
      "url": "https://mcp.rendley.com/mcp/automation"
    }
  }
}

Without a header, the client opens a browser sign-in flow the first time it connects. Approve access in Rendley and the client stores the session. You can revoke access later from your Rendley settings.

Some clients want "type": "http", and some use serverUrl instead of url.

Using an API key instead

For clients that take a static token but cannot run a browser flow, send the key as a header:

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

The Bearer prefix, including the trailing space, is required. One key reaches both endpoints, so this also skips a second sign-in if you configure the Claude directory version alongside it under a different server name.

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/automation"
      ]
    }
  }
}

The bridge opens the browser sign-in flow on first run. To use a key instead, append --header and Authorization:Bearer YOUR_RENDLEY_API_KEY to the args array.

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 above.
  • Zed. The remote URL form does not accept custom headers yet. Sign-in works, but use the bridge above if you need to send a key.
  • Perplexity. Settings, then Connectors, then Add a connector, then Custom MCP server, and sign in. Available on paid tiers.
