Create a scenario

Create a scenario

Creates a Make scenario in a team from a blueprint of modules and a schedule, and returns the new scenario's details.

teamId, scheduling and blueprint are required; the blueprint lists the modules, their parameters and the connections they use. A new scenario is inactive: activate it with scenarios_activate, make-cli scenarios activate or POST /scenarios/{scenarioId}/start before running it.

Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

MCP (official, remote)

Add this server to your agent's MCP settings, then sign in when asked.

{ "mcpServers": { "make": { "url": "https://mcp.make.com" } } }

Call the MCP tool scenarios_create.

Server URL: https://mcp.make.com

CLI (official)

Install the command, then confirm it runs.

npm install -g @makehq/cli
make-cli --version

Run make-cli scenarios create.

Set $MAKE_API_KEY in your environment first.

API (official)

• Base URL: https://{zone_url}/api/v2
• Endpoint: POST /scenarios
• Auth: send the header Authorization: Token $MAKE_API_KEY
• Docs: https://developers.make.com/api-documentation

Before doing anything else, make one read-only call to confirm access.

Rules

• Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data.
• Never print API keys.
