Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Make MCP Server (legacy)Command (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Install the server using npx and configure it as an MCP tool in a client like Claude Desktop. Add the provided JSON block to the mcpServers section of claude_desktop_config.json, and set the required environment variables: MAKE_API_KEY, MAKE_ZONE, and MAKE_TEAM. The server then identifies accessible on-demand scenarios and exposes them as tools.
Claude Desktop / Cursor
Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

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.
