# Render

Render hosts static sites, web services and databases from Git, with a free tier, and its MCP server for the platform API, which meets AR-ACT-03, works on Render infrastructure, not on a site's pages. Whatever framework or static build a service deploys supplies the HTML. The pages read found no default bot blocking or markdown conversion.

## What it does not do

-   Render does not render pages; the deployed framework or static build decides the HTML.
-   Render's MCP server manages infrastructure; it does not expose a customer site to agents.
