# Deploy to Render Render supports **Git-backed** services and **prebuilt Docker image** services. This skill covers **Git-backed** flows: 1. **Blueprint Method** - Generate render.yaml for Infrastructure-as-Code deployments 2. **Direct Creation** - Create services instantly via MCP tools Blueprints can also run a **prebuilt Docker image** by using `runtime: image`, but the `render.yaml` still must live in a Git repo. If there is no Git remote, stop and ask the user to either: - Create/push a Git remote (can be minimal if only the Blueprint is needed), or - Use the Render Dashboard/API to deploy a prebuilt Docker image (MCP cannot create image-backed services). ## Prerequisites - When sandboxing blocks the deployment network calls, rerun with `sandbox_permissions=require_escalated`. - The deployment might take a few minutes. Use appropriate timeout values. ## When to Use This Skill Activate this skill when users want to: - Deploy an application to Render - Create a render.yaml Blueprint file - Set up Render deployment for their project - Host or publish their application on Render's cloud platform - Create databases, cron jobs, or other Render resources ## Happy Path (New Users) Use this short prompt sequence before deep analysis to reduce friction: 1. Ask whether they want to deploy from a Git repo or a prebuilt Docker image. 2. Ask whether Render should provision everything the app needs (based on what seems likely from the user's description) or only the app whil...
