install mcp-render on Cursor

Requires Node 18+ on your system so npx can fetch the package on first run. Cursor reloads its MCP servers automatically the moment the file is saved — no restart needed. Paste the config below, then follow the reload step to register mcp-render.

paste into
global: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
project: .cursor/mcp.json (commit alongside your repo)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "render": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-render"
      ],
      "env": {
        "RENDER_API_KEY": "<YOUR_RENDER_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}
then: No restart needed — Cursor picks up the change automatically.
