Make MCP Server

Make MCP server allows AI systems, such as large language models (LLMs), to run scenarios and manage the contents of your Make account. Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a communication standard between AI and external systems. It enables safe interactions by defining endpoints and providing authentication.

Benefits

  • Creates bidirectional communication between AI and Make

  • Allows AI to access and manage elements of your Make account

  • Turns your active and on-demand scenarios into callable tools for AI

AI systems like Claude and ChatGPT act as MCP clients of Make MCP server. The server provides them access to scenario run and management tools that enable the following actions:

  • Run active and on-demand scenarios

  • View and modify scenarios and their related entities (e.g., connections, webhooks, and data stores)

  • View and modify teams and organizations

When you connect Make MCP server to an MCP client, your selected scopes determine the callable tools available on the server.

Scenario inputs and outputs

When using scenarios as MCP tools, scenario help AI understand what data to receive and send:

  • Inputs: parameters that AI fills with data when the scenario runs

  • Outputs: data returned from the scenario to your AI

It is highly recommended to install Make Skills in your AI assistant before using Make MCP server. Make Skills are Markdown files that help your assistant reliably perform Make-specific tasks, including building scenarios, configuring modules, and connecting to Make MCP server or third-party services.

For guidance on installing Make Skills, see the .

Make MCP server is a cloud-based server hosted by Make, running via Streamable HTTP and Server-Sent Events (SSE).

Stateless Streamable HTTP is Make's default transport method due to its connection reliability. It is recommended when connecting to MCP clients that support Streamable HTTP.

Use the following connection URLs, depending on your connection type:

If your MCP client supports Streamable HTTP, you can use /stream at the end of the connection URL specified for your chosen connection type ( or ).

If your MCP client supports SSE, use the following connection URLs, depending on your connection type:

If your MCP client does not support SSE, use the Cloudflare mcp-remote proxy for compatibility. Refer to for more details.

Calls from MCP clients to tools on Make MCP server have timeout limits for returning output. Timeouts vary depending on the tool type called and the authorization and transport method used.

  • https://mcp.make.com (OAuth): 25 seconds

  • https://<MAKE_ZONE>/mcp/<TRANSPORT> (MCP token): 40 seconds

Retrieve outputs after timeout

Even after a scenario run tool call times out, the called scenario continues running in Make for up to 40 minutes, and you can retrieve the output after the scenario finishes its run.

The call returns a timeout response that includes the executionId , which the MCP client can use to retrieve the output, once ready, with the corresponding tool.

Example response:

  • https://mcp.make.com (OAuth): 30 seconds

  • https://<MAKE_ZONE>/mcp/<TRANSPORT> (MCP token, direct OAuth):

    • Stateless Streamable HTTP (/stateless) transport: 60 seconds

  • SSE (/sse) and Streamable HTTP (/stream) transports: 5 minutes, 20 seconds

  • {
    	instruction: 'The Tool execution has started, but did not complete yet. Use a corresponding Tool for getting Execution Results to check for the result asynchronously.',
    	executionId: '4eb841b3fe3d48a5b2b59e2eed3f55be',
    	scenarioId: 1,
    },

    How Make MCP server works

    Scenario run (Run your scenarios) tools are available to all plans, and management (View and modify...) tools are available to paid plans.

    Detailed scenario descriptions help your AI understand the purpose of the scenario and improve the reliability of your prompts.

    Available transport methods

    Clients with Stateless Streamable HTTP support

    OAuth
    https://mcp.make.com
    MCP token
    https://<MAKE_ZONE>/mcp/u/<MCP_TOKEN>/stateless

    In the above configuration, replace <MAKE_ZONE> and <MCP_TOKEN> with your actual values.

    • MAKE_ZONE - The zone your organization is hosted in (e.g., eu2.make.com).

    • MCP_TOKEN - You can generate your MCP token in your Make profile.

    Optionally, you can append the following advanced query parameters to the URL for a more customized experience:

    • ?maxToolNameLength=<length> - By default, generated tool names are cropped to a maximum of 56 characters to ensure compatibility with most AI systems. You can customize this behavior by specifying the maximum generated tool name length using this parameter. The allowed range is 32 to 160 characters.

    Authorization in headers support

    If your client supports sending authorization in HTTP headers, you can use the following URL:

    Specify the MCP token in the Authorization header as follows:

    Clients with Streamable HTTP support

    Clients with Server-Sent Events (SSE) support

    OAuth
    https://mcp.make.com/sse
    MCP token
    https://<MAKE_ZONE>/mcp/u/<MCP_TOKEN>/sse

    In the above configuration, replace <MAKE_ZONE> and <MCP_TOKEN> with your actual values.

    • MAKE_ZONE - The zone your organization is hosted in (e.g., eu2.make.com).

    • MCP_TOKEN - You can generate your MCP token in your Make profile.

    Authorization in headers support

    If your client supports sending authorization in HTTP headers, you can use the following URL:

    Specify the MCP token in the Authorization header as follows:

    Clients without SSE support

    OAuth

    Configuration example:

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "make": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": [
            "-y",
            "mcp-remote",
            "https://mcp.make.com/sse"
          ]
        }
      }
    }

    Configuration example:

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "make": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": [
            "-y",
            "mcp-remote",

    Timeouts for tool calls

    Scenario run tool timeout limits

    Select the scenarios:read scope to enable MCP clients to retrieve outputs after timeout once a scenario run finishes.

    Management tool timeout limits

    Management tool calls are typically fast and rarely time out. If you still experience timeouts when using https://mcp.make.com, switch to a https://<MAKE_ZONE>/mcp/<TRANSPORT> URL for longer timeouts.
