Remote MCP

Render

Similar to Railway with a free tier. Free services spin down after 15 minutes of inactivity and have a cold start (~30 s) on the next request.

1

Create a web service

Go to render.com → New → Web Service.

2

Connect your repository

Connect your GitHub repo. Render detects the Dockerfile.

3

Set environment variables

Set the following under Environment:

KeyValue
MCP_TRANSPORTstreamable-http
MCP_PORT8080
PARADEX_ENVIRONMENTprod
4

Configure the health check

Set Health Check Path to /health.

5

Deploy

Click Create Web Service. Your endpoint is https://<service-name>.onrender.com/mcp.

6

Connect your AI client

Paste the URL into your AI client’s MCP settings. See the Remote MCP quickstart for client-specific instructions.

Free tier sleeps after 15 min of inactivity — upgrade to Starter (~$7/mo) to avoid cold starts. Render provides automatic TLS and a stable URL.
