Pipedream

Extract a URL to Clean Markdown for RAG in Pipedream

Self-Healing Renders in Make — Auto-Retry and Fall Back With an Error Handler

MCP

Generate a Hosted Share Image from an AI Agent (Rendex MCP)

Give Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client the rendex_render_link tool and it mints a signed, edge-cached image URL from a URL, HTML, or Markdown — drop it straight into an og:image tag or an <img> src instead of handling raw image bytes.
