How to Use the Make.com AI Toolkit and MCP Tokens

The Make.com AI Toolkit introduces a powerful way to work with models, tools, and applications using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This guide walks you step by step through enabling the feature, creating MCP tokens, connecting apps, and understanding how the toolkit behaves in scenarios so you can start using these capabilities confidently.

1. Understand the Make.com AI Toolkit and MCP Basics

Before you start, it helps to understand the key concepts behind the AI Toolkit and MCP in the Make editor.

• AI Toolkit panel: A dedicated area in the scenario editor that shows available models, tools, and apps.
• MCP (Model Context Protocol): A standard for connecting AI models to tools and data sources, allowing structured interaction inside the editor.
• MCP apps: Integrations that expose functionalities (like summarizing text, working with external services, or manipulating data) through the MCP interface.
• MCP tokens: Secure tokens stored in your profile that let you authorize and use MCP apps across scenarios.

The new feature set is rolling out progressively, so some options described here may appear in your account over time.

2. Enable the Make.com AI Toolkit in the Editor

To use the new tools, you must first access the AI Toolkit inside the scenario editor.

1. Open your Scenario editor in Make.
2. Look for the AI Toolkit or AI-related panel in the editor interface.
3. If prompted, agree to any beta or early access terms to activate the new panel.

Once enabled, you should see lists of available models and any MCP apps that are ready to use in your account or organization.

3. Create an MCP Token for Make.com AI Toolkit

MCP tokens let the Make.com AI Toolkit connect securely to tools and external apps. The tokens are created once and then reused in scenarios.

3.1 Where MCP tokens are stored in Make.com

MCP tokens are created and stored at the user profile level. This means:

• You manage tokens in your account settings, not within individual modules.
• Tokens can be reused in multiple scenarios, depending on your access level.
• Each token belongs to you and is subject to your workspace or organization policies.

3.2 Steps to create a new MCP token

1. Go to your Profile or Account settings in Make.
2. Navigate to the section for MCP Tokens or AI Toolkit tokens.
3. Click Create token or similar action.
4. Give the token a clear, descriptive name, such as AI Toolkit – Documentation App.
5. Define the scope or permissions, depending on the app or tool you plan to use.
6. Confirm and save the token.
7. Copy the generated token and store it securely if it is shown only once.

After you create the token, it will be available for you to select when configuring MCP apps within the AI Toolkit or related modules.

4. Connect MCP Apps to the Make.com AI Toolkit

Not all apps are connected through the Model Context Protocol, but a growing number support it. The Make.com interface simplifies how these apps are surfaced and used.

4.1 Find compatible MCP apps

Within the AI Toolkit panel, you can see which apps are available as MCP tools. Typically, you will find:

• Native apps that already support MCP.
• Third-party tools exposed via MCP bridges or connectors.
• Additional AI-focused utilities like summarizers, analyzers, or search tools.

4.2 Link an MCP token to an app

1. Open the AI Toolkit panel in the scenario editor.
2. Select or add the MCP app you want to use.
3. When prompted, choose an existing MCP token from your profile.
4. Confirm the connection so the app can authenticate using that token.

After this configuration, the app is ready for use inside scenarios where the AI Toolkit is enabled.

5. Use the Make.com AI Toolkit Inside Scenarios

The AI Toolkit is designed to work directly in your Make.com scenarios so that AI-driven actions and MCP apps are part of your automation flow.

5.1 Access AI tools while building scenarios

When you are designing or editing a scenario:

• Open the AI Toolkit panel for access to models and tools.
• Use the panel to call MCP apps, pass context, or generate content.
• Refer to AI suggestions or outputs when configuring modules and mappings.

The toolkit may appear as a contextual assistant that understands your scenario, modules, and fields as you edit.

5.2 How MCP tools behave during scenario execution

When the scenario runs:

• The AI Toolkit can call MCP apps as configured, using the associated MCP tokens.
• Tools may read or process data from earlier modules.
• Outputs from MCP tools can be passed into later modules or saved to data stores and external services.

Execution behavior is structured and follows the permissions and scopes you defined for each MCP token.

6. Manage and Update MCP Tokens in Make.com

As you work more with AI Toolkit features, you may need to rotate, update, or remove tokens on Make.com.

6.1 Rotate or revoke an MCP token

1. Go to your Profile or Account settings.
2. Open the MCP Tokens management section.
3. Select the token you want to change.
4. Choose to revoke, disable, or regenerate the token, depending on the available options.
5. Update any scenarios or MCP app connections that depended on the old token.

Rotating tokens regularly is a good security practice, especially when connecting to sensitive tools or external systems.

6.2 Best practices for MCP token organization

• Use descriptive names that identify the app and purpose.
• Create separate tokens for different environments (testing vs. production) when possible.
• Keep a record of where each token is used to simplify updates.

7. Keep Up with Make.com AI Toolkit Updates

The AI Toolkit and MCP support are evolving rapidly. The Make.com team releases ongoing improvements, new apps, and expanded capabilities.

To stay current:

• Review the official update notes and release information.
• Check the AI Toolkit panel regularly for new tools or models.
• Test new MCP apps in a dedicated scenario before moving them into production workflows.

You can read the latest detailed updates directly on the official help center page at this Make AI Toolkit and MCP update article.
