Make MCP MCP server

Make_MCP is a server that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing you to create custom MCP servers that can be integrated with Claude Desktop. It provides a straightforward way to develop and add tools, resources, and prompts that Claude can access.

Installation

Adding Make_MCP to Claude Desktop

1. Go to Claude > Settings > Developer > Edit Config
2. Open your claude_desktop_config.json file
3. Add the Make_MCP configuration to the file

If you use uv (recommended):

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "make_mcp": {
            "command": "/path/to/your/.local/bin/uvx",
            "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/RoryMB/Make_MCP@main", "make_mcp"]
        }
    }
}

If you don't use uv:

1. Clone the Make_MCP repository
2. Install MCP using pip where your Python can access it
3. Update your configuration:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "make_mcp": {
            "command": "/path/to/your/python",
            "args": ["path/to/Make_MCP/make_mcp/core.py"]
        }
    }
}

4. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect

Usage

Accessing Make_MCP Tools and Resources

After restarting Claude Desktop, you can access Make_MCP in two ways:

1. Through the "+" menu:

   • Displays all servers with resources or prompts
   • Click a server name to see its resources and prompts
   • Click on a specific item to attach it to your message

2. Through the "Search and tools" menu:

   • Displays all servers with tools
   • Shows the number of enabled tools per server
   • Click a server name to see its tools
   • Use toggle switches to enable or disable individual tools

Creating a New MCP Server

You can create your own MCP server using Make_MCP in two ways:

Using the Tool Method

1. Ensure the make_mcp server's how_to_make_mcp tool is enabled
2. Ask Claude something like: "Write a basic mcp server with a very simple URL fetch tool to get HTML"
3. Claude will request permission to use the how_to_make_mcp tool
4. The tool will provide documentation and example server code

Using the Resource Method

1. Click "+" > "Add from make_mcp" > "make_mcp"
2. This attaches documentation to your next message
3. Ask Claude to write your MCP server based on the documentation

Adding Your New Server to Claude Desktop

After Claude creates your MCP server:

1. Download the server code artifact
2. Add it to your claude_desktop_config.json file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "make_mcp": {
            "command": "/path/to/your/.local/bin/uvx",
            "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/RoryMB/Make_MCP@main", "make_mcp"]
        },
        "new_server": {
            "command": "/path/to/your/.local/bin/uv",
            "args": ["run", "/path/to/downloads/new_server.py"],
            "env": {
                // Optional environment variables
            }
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop
4. Your new server's tools will appear in the "Search and tools" menu
5. Any resources or prompts will be available in the "+" menu

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "make_mcp" '{"command":"/Users/rmbutler/.local/bin/uvx","args":["--from","git+https://github.com/RoryMB/Make_MCP@main","make_mcp"]}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "make_mcp": {
            "command": "/Users/rmbutler/.local/bin/uvx",
            "args": [
                "--from",
                "git+https://github.com/RoryMB/Make_MCP@main",
                "make_mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "make_mcp": {
            "command": "/Users/rmbutler/.local/bin/uvx",
            "args": [
                "--from",
                "git+https://github.com/RoryMB/Make_MCP@main",
                "make_mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
