Make MCP Server

What is Make MCP Server about?

Provides a server that connects to a Make account, discovers scenarios scheduled with "On‑Demand", and makes them accessible to AI assistants through structured JSON inputs and outputs.

How to use Make MCP Server?

1. Install Node.js.
2. Add a configuration block to the claude_desktop_config.json file under the mcpServers section.
3. Supply your Make API key, zone, and team ID as environment variables.
4. Start the server via the npx command specified in the configuration; the AI client will communicate with it automatically.

Key features of Make MCP Server

• Automatic discovery of on‑demand Make scenarios.
• Parameter parsing with descriptive metadata for AI consumption.
• Invocation of scenarios with validated inputs.
• Structured JSON response containing scenario output.
• Seamless integration with Claude Desktop (or any MCP client).

Use cases of Make MCP Server

• Enabling voice assistants to trigger complex business workflows.
• Allowing chat‑based AI agents to execute automation tasks on demand.
• Building bidirectional communication pipelines between AI systems and existing Make automations.
• Extending AI assistants with custom tools without rewriting the underlying logic.

FAQ from the Make MCP Server

Q: Do I need to run this server locally? A: Yes, it runs as a Node.js process on your machine or any environment that supports npx.

Q: Which Make permissions are required? A: The API key must have scenarios:read and scenarios:run scopes.

Q: Can I use this with other MCP clients besides Claude Desktop? A: Absolutely; any client that follows the Model Context Protocol can interact with the server.

Q: Is there a newer version available? A: A cloud‑based version is recommended for most use cases; see the link in the README for details.

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.
