MakeSync MCP server

This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Make.com enables intelligent patching, scenario management, and seamless integration with Make.com automation workflows, allowing you to read and update scenario blueprints programmatically.

Installation

Prerequisites

Before installing the MakeSync MCP Server, ensure you have:

• Node.js installed
• A Make.com API key with the following scopes:
  • agents:read
  • apps:read
  • connections:read
  • datastores:read
  • devices:read
  • functions:read
  • scenarios:read
  • scenarios:run
  • scenarios:write
  • teams:read

Quick Setup

The fastest way to get started is using the quick setup method:

MAKE_DOT_COM_API_KEY=your_api_key_here npm install && npm run build

Replace your_api_key_here with your actual Make.com API key.

Usage

The MakeSync MCP Server provides two main tools for interacting with Make.com scenarios.

Reading Scenario Blueprints

Use the read_make_dot_com_scenario_blueprint tool to retrieve the full JSON blueprint of any scenario:

// Example of reading a scenario blueprint
const scenarioBlueprint = await read_make_dot_com_scenario_blueprint({
  scenario_id: 123456,  // Your scenario ID number
  draft: true           // Optional - set to true to read draft version
});

console.log(scenarioBlueprint);  // Full blueprint JSON

Updating Scenarios

Use the update_make_dot_com_scenario tool to patch and modify scenarios:

// Example of updating a scenario
const updateResult = await update_make_dot_com_scenario({
  scenario_id: 123456,         // Your scenario ID
  name: "Updated Scenario",    // Optional - change scenario name
  description: "New description", // Optional
  module_id: 5,                // Optional - target specific module
  operations: [                // Optional - patch operations
    { 
      path: "parameters.text", 
      value: "New text value" 
    }
  ],
  confirm: true                // Required for installing new apps
});

Smart Patching Features

The server includes several intelligent patching capabilities:

• Auto-wrapping mappers: Values are automatically wrapped in {{...}} when appropriate
• Module-agnostic patching: Works with any module type in Make.com
• Safe updates: The confirm parameter prevents accidental changes
• Spec compliance: Validates against module interface and parameters

Use with Claude Desktop

MakeSync MCP Server is compatible with Claude Desktop, making it easy to incorporate AI assistance in your workflow automation tasks.

When using with Claude Desktop, the server will be automatically initialized with your configured API key.

Integration Examples

Reading a Scenario Blueprint

const blueprint = await read_make_dot_com_scenario_blueprint({
  scenario_id: 123456
});

// Examine module structure
const modules = blueprint.blueprint.modules;
console.log(`Scenario has ${modules.length} modules`);

Updating a Module's Parameters

await update_make_dot_com_scenario({
  scenario_id: 123456,
  module_id: 2,
  operations: [
    { path: "parameters.url", value: "https://api.example.com/v2/data" },
    { path: "parameters.headers.Authorization", value: "Bearer token123" }
  ]
});

How to add this MCP server to 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 > MCP and click "Add new global MCP server".

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

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "cursor-rules-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "cursor-rules-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 explictly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
