Claude Desktop Rendex: Rendering API for Images, PDFs & Content Extraction rendex_account
How to: Claude Desktop Rendex: Rendering API for Images, PDFs & Content Extraction rendex_account
Add Rendex: Rendering API for Images, PDFs & Content Extraction to Claude Desktop
-
01
Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"mcpServers": {
"rendex-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-remote",
"https://mcp.rendex.dev/mcp"
]
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.
-
03
Ask for something rendex_account does. Claude Desktop lists the server's tools on connect and calls rendex_account itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Rendex: Rendering API for Images, PDFs & Content Extraction's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.
Claude Desktop has no remote transport in its config file, so this bridges through mcp-remote. Restart the app after saving. Claude Desktop docs
Set these first
Rendex: Rendering API for Images, PDFs & Content Extraction will not start until these are set, so rendex_account never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what
the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.
Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
