About the Rendex MCP server

Connect Rendex once in Activepieces and every action it ships becomes a tool your assistant can call, behind the same server URL as the rest of your apps. Your agent reaches Rendex and 770+ other apps over a single connection, on our cloud or a self-hosted install.

Tools

Rendex tools your AI can run

Once connected, your assistant can call any of these Rendex actions by asking in plain language.

  • Render to Image

    Render raw HTML, a URL, or Markdown to an image (PNG, JPEG, WebP) or a PDF.

    4 fields

  • Create Render Link

    Create a signed, cached image URL that renders a URL, HTML or Markdown when it is opened, for emails, og:image tags or embeds.

    15 fields

  • Extract Page Content

    Load a web page in a real browser and return its main content as Markdown, JSON or HTML, with title and excerpt.

    7 fields

  • Create Branded Document

    Turn Markdown or HTML into a branded PDF and/or PNG with your logo, colour, header and footer, and get hosted links. Rendex offers no wait option here, so this call can fail with HTTP 408 TIMEOUT on the vendor side; if it does, use Render Screenshot with Format PDF and Wait Until Load event instead.

Triggers

Rendex events your agent can watch

These start a run the moment something happens in Rendex, so work gets picked up on its own.

  • Watch Detected a Change

    Triggers when a Rendex watch finishes a check that found a change (or, optionally, any finished or failed check).

    2 fields

Give your assistant Rendex

Connect Rendex once and every tool above is callable from Claude, Cursor or any MCP client, behind the same server URL as 770+ other apps. Free to start.

Rendex MCP, answered.

No. That is the point of it. One Activepieces server exposes Rendex alongside every other piece you connect, so your client keeps a single connection.

Yes. Activepieces is open source and free to start, and the MCP server is included on every plan, from the free cloud tier to any self-hosted deployment.

Connect Rendex in Activepieces, enable the server under Settings → MCP Server, then paste your server URL into your client config. It authenticates over OAuth on first use.

It can call 14 tools, including Render to Image, Create Render Link, Extract Page Content, and chain them with steps in other apps inside the same run.

Connections use OAuth2 with limited scopes and are stored under 256-bit encryption, with no API to read them back, so an agent gets scoped access rather than your keys.
