Make MCP Server (legacy)

1# Make MCP Server (legacy)
2 
3**A modern, cloud-based version of the Make MCP Server is now available. For most use cases, we recommend using [this new version](https://developers.make.com/mcp-server).**
4 
5A 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.
6 
7## How It Works
8 
9The MCP server:
10 
11-   Connects to your Make account and identifies all scenarios configured with "On-Demand" scheduling
12-   Parses and resolves input parameters for each scenario, providing AI assistants with meaningful parameter descriptions
13-   Allows AI assistants to invoke scenarios with appropriate parameters
14-   Returns scenario output as structured JSON, enabling AI assistants to properly interpret the results
15 
16## Benefits
17 
18-   Turn your Make scenarios into callable tools for AI assistants
19-   Maintain complex automation logic in Make while exposing functionality to AI systems
20-   Create bidirectional communication between your AI assistants and your existing automation workflows

22## Usage with Claude Desktop
23 
24### Prerequisites
25 
26-   NodeJS
27-   MCP Client (like Claude Desktop App)
28-   Make API Key with `scenarios:read` and `scenarios:run` scopes
29 
30### Installation
31 
32To use this server with the Claude Desktop app, add the following configuration to the "mcpServers" section of your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
33 
34```json
35{
36    "mcpServers": {
37        "make": {
38            "command": "npx",
39            "args": ["-y", "@makehq/mcp-server"],
40            "env": {
41                "MAKE_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>",
42                "MAKE_ZONE": "<your-zone>",
43                "MAKE_TEAM": "<your-team-id>"
44            }
45        }
46    }
47}
48```

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