πŸ”₯ Feature Spotlight: Add MCP Tools to Make AI Agents

Your Make AI Agent can now connect to external MCP servers :electric_plug:

If you are building AI Agents that need to act across more of your tools, this update opens up a lot of new room to build.

Make AI Agents can now access tools exposed via external MCP servers and use them within the same run as native Make modules.

:electric_plug: Introducing MCP tools for Make AI Agents: add external MCP servers directly in the Make AI Agent builder and give your agent access to the tools those MCP servers expose.

:new_button: What’s new with MCP Tools for Make AI Agents

  • :electric_plug: Add external MCP servers to AI Agents: connect one or more MCP servers as tool providers from the AI Agent builder.

  • :toolbox: Give agents a larger toolset: your agent can read the tool list exposed by each MCP server and decide when to use those tools during a run.

  • :high_voltage: Mix MCP tools with native Make modules: agents can call MCP tools and Make modules in the same reasoning loop, based on the instructions you give them.

  • :globe_with_meridians: Use a standard protocol: connect to any standard MCP server, so teams can bring existing MCP setups into Make and build broader agent workflows faster.

:flexed_biceps: What to automate with MCP Tools and Make AI Agents

  • Sales lead research: trigger an AI Agent when a demo request comes in, use MCP tools to research the company, enrich the contact, and write a structured summary back to the CRM before the rep starts their follow-up.

  • IT support triage: let an agent check internal docs through an MCP server, compare the ticket against recent code or product updates, draft a first response, and update the ticket in one run.

  • Weekly market briefing: have an agent scan selected web sources through MCP, compare findings with your internal roadmap or notes, and post a clean summary to the right channel before the Monday standup.

This is especially useful for AI agent builders, automation engineers, developers, and agency teams building agents that need to work across client tools, internal systems, and external data sources.

Connect the MCP server once, define the agent instructions clearly, and let the agent choose the right tool for the job.

By adding MCP to Make AI Agents, you get the structure and reliability of workflow automation, along with the reach of the open MCP ecosystem. One agent, one flow.

What will you connect to your Make AI Agent first?

Happy automating! :purple_circle:
