Make.com Automation Specialist — Claude Code Plugin

A Claude Code plugin that turns any project into an intelligent Make.com automation workspace. You describe a business problem in plain English, Claude plans the automation, you approve it, and Claude builds it in Make.com.

What this plugin does

• Build new automations — Have a conversation with Claude, get a full automation plan with cost estimates, approve it, Claude builds it in Make.com.
• Audit existing scenarios — Claude reads your Make.com scenarios, finds issues, proposes fixes, executes after your approval.
• Generate diagrams — Visual Mermaid flowcharts of any scenario, saved to .make/diagrams/.
• Compliance assessment — Auto-detects GDPR, Quebec Law 25, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA requirements when deployed in a project.
• Telegram alerts — If an automation fails and can't auto-recover, you get pinged on Telegram.
• Full audit trail — Everything Claude plans, builds, or fixes is saved to the .make/ folder with timestamps.

Installation

Run this command once to install the plugin for all your projects:

claude plugin install make-automation-specialist@make-automation-specialist --scope user

Or install it only for one specific project (run from inside that project):

claude plugin install make-automation-specialist@make-automation-specialist --scope project

To verify it installed:

claude plugin list

You should see make-automation-specialist in the list.

Note: The first time you install, Claude Code needs to know where to find this plugin's marketplace. Add this to your ~/.claude/settings.json under extraKnownMarketplaces:

"make-automation-specialist": {
  "source": { "source": "github", "repo": "cardinalconseils/make-automation-specialist" }
}

Setup (Step-by-step)

Step 1 — Add your Make.com credentials

Copy the example env file and fill in your API keys:

cp .env.example .env

Open .env and set:

MAKE_API_KEY=your_make_api_key_here
MAKE_TEAM_ID=your_make_team_id_here

Where to find these:

• Make.com API Key: Go to Make.com → your profile (top right) → API → Generate a token
• Team ID: In Make.com, look at your URL when in your team — it's the number after /team/

---

Step 2 — Add Make.com MCP to Claude Code

Open your Claude Code MCP config file. On Mac it's at:

~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add this inside the "mcpServers" block:

"make": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "@anthropic-ai/mcp-server-make"],
  "env": {
    "MAKE_API_KEY": "your_make_api_key_here",
    "MAKE_TEAM_ID": "your_make_team_id_here"
  }
}

Step 3 — (Optional but recommended) Set up Telegram alerts

This lets Claude ping you on Telegram when something breaks and can't be auto-fixed.

1. Open Telegram and search for @BotFather
2. Type /newbot and follow the steps to create a bot — save the API token it gives you
3. Start a chat with your new bot, then visit: https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_TOKEN>/getUpdates to find your chat ID (it's the number next to "id":)
4. Add to your .env:

   TELNYX_API_KEY=your_telnyx_api_key
   TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID=your_telegram_chat_id

Step 4 — Open this project in Claude Code

That's it. The on-project-open hook runs automatically and:

• Detects which MCPs you have connected
• Maps your Make.com workspace (teams, scenarios)
• Creates the .make/ folder structure
• Tells you if anything is missing
