    How to connect

    How to connect Renderball to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://renderball.com/api/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    Authorization

    After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

    How to connect Renderball to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://renderball.com/api/mcp

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
    5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
    6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

    Server tool list (8)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    list_decksThe user's Renderball documents, newest first, with editor links. Needs an account (a key).
    create_deckStart a new presentation from a brief, the brand as YOU know it (name, and only the colours, fonts and logo you actually have — never guess a colour) and your outline. With the outline the reply carries the WRITING BRIEF, so the whole deck is two calls: this, then submit_deck. Without an account it also returns a guest_token to pass on later calls and deck_url, the one link to give the user.
    write_outlineSave the page-by-page outline you wrote for a deck. Returns the WRITING BRIEF: the exact instructions for writing the deck file (format, brand facts, truth rules). Follow it, then call submit_deck.
    get_briefThe writing brief for a deck whose outline is already saved.
    see_deckThe deck's rendered pages as images, page 1 first — look at them for overlapping or clipped text, odd spacing or an element off its page, then fix the file and submit_deck again. Available once the deck has been submitted.
    submit_deckSend the complete deck file you wrote. Renderball checks it against the brief, repairs small slips, renders every page and opens it in the editor. Returns 'ready' with the editor_url, or 'importing' — then poll deck_status.
    deck_statusWhether a submitted deck is still importing, ready (with the editor link), or failed (with the reason).
    share_deckTurn on the public link for a deck and return it.
