Can I use Render as a CLI?

Yes. KosmoKrator exposes a Render CLI through kosmo integrations:call and the provider shortcut command. Commands can return JSON for scripts, CI, and coding agents.

Can I expose Render through MCP?

Yes. The KosmoKrator MCP gateway can expose selected Render tools to clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Where are Render credentials stored?

Render credentials are configured in KosmoKrator's local integration settings and reused by CLI, Lua, and MCP gateway surfaces.

Can I deny write access for Render MCP tools?

Yes. Start the gateway with --write=deny for read-only clients, or use ask/allow only for trusted workspaces.

Connect Render to Claude Code

Connect local KosmoKrator integrations to Claude Code through one scoped MCP gateway entry.

Add KosmoKrator as a stdio MCP server in the Claude Code project config and select the integrations that should be visible. The gateway is local, scoped to this integration, and starts with --write=deny so Claude Code can inspect read-capable tools without receiving write access by default.

Render MCP Config for Claude Code

Claude Code can launch the local kosmo binary directly from the project MCP config.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kosmokrator-render2": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "kosmo",
      "args": [
        "mcp:serve",
        "--integration=render2",
        "--write=deny"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run the Gateway Manually

kosmokrator mcp:serve --integration=render2 --write=deny

Why Use KosmoKrator Here

Scoped tools

Expose only Render instead of a broad multi-service tool list.

Local credentials

Reuse credentials already configured for the KosmoKrator CLI and Lua runtime.

Write policy

Start read-only, then opt into ask or allow for trusted workspaces.
