What is Make MCP Server

The Make MCP Server is a legacy Model Context Protocol server designed to integrate Make automation workflows with AI assistants. It allows these assistants to trigger and interact with workflows configured with ‘On-Demand’ scheduling in your Make account.

Use cases

This server can be used in various scenarios where AI assistants need to integrate with automation workflows. Examples include automating customer support tasks, triggering notifications based on specific conditions, or facilitating data processing tasks, all through AI triggers.

How to use

To use the MCP server, you need to install NodeJS and configure the Claude Desktop app. This involves adding a specific configuration to the ‘mcpServers’ section of your ‘claude_desktop_config.json’ file, including your Make API key, zone, and team ID.

Key features

Key features of the MCP server include the ability to connect to a Make account, parse input parameters for scenarios, invoke scenarios with specified parameters, and return structured JSON outputs, enabling effective communication between AI assistants and automation workflows.

Where to use

The MCP Server is intended for use in environments where AI assistants need to interact with Make automation, such as within productivity tools, customer service applications, or any context where automation can enhance AI functionalities.

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.
