Make (MCP)

What is Make?

Make (formerly Integromat) is a visual automation platform that connects thousands of apps and services into automated workflows called scenarios. By connecting Make to your Pickaxe via MCP, your AI agents can trigger these scenarios on behalf of your users — enabling them to automate virtually anything through a conversation.

Getting your Make API token

To connect Make to Pickaxe, you'll need an API token with the right permissions:

1. Go to make.com and sign in
2. Click your profile icon in the top-right corner, then select Profile
3. Navigate to the API Access tab
4. Click Add Token and select the scopes your workflow needs

Important scope requirements:

• You must add the MCP use scope — this is required for the MCP connection to work
• Do not add the MCP host read or MCP host write scopes — these are administrative scopes meant for Make's internal hosting and will break the connection when used with Pickaxe

Once you've selected your scopes, give your token a name and click Add.

Connecting Make to your Pickaxe

1. Open the Pickaxe Builder and go to the Actions tab
2. Click Add MCP Server
3. Choose the Make MCP server configuration template
4. Give it a name
5. In the URL field, you'll see a placeholder showing the exact URL format — replace the zone and team ID with the values from your Make account (you can find these in your Make URL)
6. Paste in your API token
7. Click Save

Selecting Make scenarios

After saving the MCP server connection:

1. Turn on the toggle to enable the MCP server
2. Click Select Tools
3. Choose the specific Make scenarios you want your Pickaxe to use
4. Click Save

Only enabled scenarios will be available to your Pickaxe, so you have full control over which automations your agent can trigger.

Prompting your Pickaxe to use Make

Once connected, you need to instruct your Pickaxe on how and when to use the Make scenario. In your Pickaxe's prompt, include:

• When to trigger — describe the conditions that should activate the scenario
• What inputs to send — specify the data fields the scenario expects
• How to return the output — tell the Pickaxe how to display results back to the user

The more specific your prompt, the more reliably your Pickaxe will interact with Make.

Example workflow

Here's an example of a Pickaxe connected to a Make scenario that creates a Reddit post and a Google Calendar event in a single conversation:

The Make scenario expects four inputs:

1. Title — used as the Reddit post title and calendar event name
2. Text — used as the Reddit post body and calendar event description
3. Start date — when the calendar event should begin
4. Duration — how long the calendar event should last

What happens when triggered:

1. Make creates a Reddit post using the provided title and text
2. Make creates a Google Calendar event with the title, description, start date, and duration
3. Make returns the Reddit post URL and calendar event link back to the Pickaxe
4. The Pickaxe displays both links in the response

This is just one example — with Make's library of thousands of app integrations, you can build scenarios that connect to virtually any service and trigger them all through your Pickaxe.
