Make MCP Server (legacy)

A modern, cloud-based version of the Make MCP Server is now available. For most use cases, we recommend using this new version.

A Model Context Protocol server that enables Make scenarios to be utilized as tools by AI assistants. This integration allows AI systems to trigger and interact with your Make automation workflows.

How It Works

The MCP server:

Connects to your Make account and identifies all scenarios configured with "On-Demand" scheduling
Parses and resolves input parameters for each scenario, providing AI assistants with meaningful parameter descriptions
Allows AI assistants to invoke scenarios with appropriate parameters
Returns scenario output as structured JSON, enabling AI assistants to properly interpret the results

Benefits

Turn your Make scenarios into callable tools for AI assistants
Maintain complex automation logic in Make while exposing functionality to AI systems
Create bidirectional communication between your AI assistants and your existing automation workflows

Usage with Claude Desktop

Prerequisites

NodeJS
MCP Client (like Claude Desktop App)
Make API Key with scenarios:read and scenarios:run scopes

Installation

To use this server with the Claude Desktop app, add the following configuration to the "mcpServers" section of your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "make": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": ["-y", "@makehq/mcp-server"],
            "env": {
                "MAKE_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>",
                "MAKE_ZONE": "<your-zone>",
                "MAKE_TEAM": "<your-team-id>"
            }
        }
    }
}

MAKE_API_KEY - You can generate an API key in your Make profile.
MAKE_ZONE - The zone your organization is hosted in (e.g., eu2.make.com).
MAKE_TEAM - You can find the ID in the URL of the Team page.
