Best for
  • Developers who want to integrate Make automations with AI assistants.
  • Users who need to quickly turn existing Make scenarios into callable tools.
  • Developers auditing NPM dependencies within AI workflows
  • Teams performing supply chain security assessments
  • Users of Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code
Not for
  • Users looking for the new cloud-based Make MCP Server (recommended).
  • Users without a Make account or who have not configured On-Demand scenarios.
  • Projects outside the NPM ecosystem (e.g., pure Python/Go)
  • Environments without network access to deps.dev, OSV.dev, and the npm registry
  • Scenarios requiring maintenance by an official upstream vendor
Required permissions
  • Requires Make API key with scenarios:read and scenarios:run scopes.
  • Environment variables: MAKE_API_KEY, MAKE_ZONE, MAKE_TEAM.
  • Network access to the NPM registry and external services (deps.dev, OSV.dev, OpenSSF, npms.io, GitHub)
  • Read access to workspace lockfiles (pnpm-lock.yaml, package-lock., yarn.lock) for cache invalidation
Risks and side effects
  • Exposing API key can lead to unauthorized access to your Make scenarios.
  • Scenario execution may incur costs or side effects; control invocation permissions carefully.
  • Third-party READMEs and changelogs are untrusted external content; they are wrapped in tags with _meta flags but should still be handled cautiously
  • Depends on availability and accuracy of external services
  • Batch requests are capped at 25 packages to prevent registry enumeration; larger sets require batching
  • Third-party open source project, not officially maintained by NPM or Anthropic
