+### Added
+
+- Bundled the Render MCP server, preconfigured over OAuth (`.mcp.json`), so Claude can manage services, deploys, logs, metrics, and databases directly — no API key required.
+- README section documenting the MCP server, its OAuth sign-in flow, and how it complements the Render CLI.
+
+## [0.1.0] - Initial release
+
+### Added
+
+- Skills covering deploying, debugging, and monitoring applications on Render, including blueprints, web services, static sites, background workers, cron jobs, Postgres, key-value stores, disks, domains, networking, scaling, environment variables, Docker, private services, the Render CLI, and Heroku migration.

 ## MCP server
 
-Render's MCP server isn't included in this plugin yet because it doesn't support OAuth. Once OAuth is available, the plugin will ship with an `.mcp.json` so Claude can use Render MCP tools directly. Until then, the plugin uses the Render CLI for service creation, log retrieval, metrics, and database inspection.
+The plugin bundles Render's [MCP server](https://render.com/docs/mcp-server) through the `.mcp.json` at the repo root, so Claude can manage your Render services, deploys, logs, metrics, and databases directly.
+
+Authentication is handled over OAuth — you don't need an API key. The first time Claude uses a Render MCP tool, it opens your browser to sign in to Render and authorize access to `https://mcp.render.com/mcp`. After you approve, Claude connects automatically on future runs.
+
+The MCP server and the Render CLI (below) are complementary: MCP covers day-to-day service, log, metric, and database operations, while the CLI still backs Blueprint validation and other CLI-only workflows.
