Configure your AI client to spawn @rendobar/mcp via npx. The server reads local files, submits jobs to api.rendobar.com, and streams results back.

​
1. Get an API key

Sign in at app.rendobar.com → Settings → API Keys → Create key. Copy the rb_live_... value.

​
2. Configure your client

Edit the config file:
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rendobar": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@rendobar/mcp"],
      "env": { "RENDOBAR_API_KEY": "rb_live_..." }
    }
  }
}
Restart Claude Desktop.

​
3. Verify

Open a chat in your client and ask: “What’s my Rendobar balance?” The agent calls get_account and reports your balance. If you see “RENDOBAR_API_KEY missing” in your client’s MCP logs, the env var didn’t propagate — re-check the config block.

​
Requirements

  • Node 20.10 or later (node --version). The server checks at startup and exits with a clear message if older.
  • npm 9+ for npx -y to resolve scoped packages.

​
Auth resolution order

The server reads credentials in this order, first match wins:
  1. --api-key=<key> command-line flag
  2. RENDOBAR_API_KEY environment variable
  3. ~/.config/rendobar/credentials.json (Unix) or %APPDATA%\rendobar\credentials.json (Windows)
The credentials file format is { "apiKey": "rb_live_...", "apiBase": "https://api.rendobar.com" }. The Rendobar CLI’s rb login command writes this file automatically.

​
Updating

npx -y @rendobar/mcp always pulls the latest published version. Pin a specific version with @rendobar/mcp@1.0.1 in the args array if you need reproducibility.
