# Connect using MCP token

You can connect Make MCP server to a client using an MCP token in the connection URL. An MCP token is an API token that you create in Make for adding Make MCP server to an MCP client. 

### Obtain MCP token 

To obtain an MCP token:

1. In the top-right corner of your Make account, click your name.
2. Click **Profile**. 
3. Navigate to the **API access** tab. 
4. In **Tokens**, click **Add token**, which opens a dialog.

5. Select your desired scopes, including the `mcp:use` scope if you want to make your scenarios available as tools.
6. In **Label**, name your API token.&#x20;
7. Click **Add**.

You have now generated an MCP token for your MCP client. Include this token in the connection URL. To complete the connection, refer to the Usage page of your MCP client (e.g., Usage with Cursor).

{% hint style="danger" %}
An MCP token is a secret key. Treat it as sensitive information and share it only with trusted parties.
{% endhint %}

### Access control&#x20;

To control which scenarios are available as tools through your MCP token, see [Scenarios as tools access control](/mcp-server/connect-using-mcp-token/scenarios-as-tools-access-control.md).&#x20;

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developers.make.com/mcp-server/connect-using-mcp-token.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
