Make Overview

Make MCP server skills help AI coding agents build, inspect, run, and debug Make automation scenarios. Scenario work uses Make’s scenario-management MCP server, while the separate Endpoints skill uses the Make SDK or CLI for app discovery and approved actions. Reach for it when an agent needs to understand an existing Make account, edit scenario structure, investigate executions, or work with the Endpoints beta.
