- Offers a resource that attaches the same documentation to a message
- Generates a new MCP server script as a downloadable artifact
- Integrates seamlessly with Claude Desktop’s tool and resource menus
- Supports both uv and manual Python installation
Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Make_MCPCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Add Make_MCP to Claude Desktop by editing the claude_desktop_config.json file with a command pointing to uvx (or a local Python installation). After restarting Claude, enable the make_mcp server’s how_to_make_mcp tool, then ask Claude to write a new server (e.g., “Write a basic MCP server with a simple URL fetch tool”). Alternatively, attach the server’s resource manually via the “+” menu.
Claude Desktop / Cursor
Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

An MCP server for making MCP serversAdd Make_MCP to Claude Desktop
Go to Claude > Settings > Developer > Edit Config, then open your claude_desktop_config.json.
If you don't use uv, you will have to clone the repo, then change the JSON below so that the command points to your python with args set to ["path/to/Make_MCP/make_mcp/core.py"], and pip install mcp where your python can access it.
If you do use uv, you can simply use the following JSON as-is. (Change the "command" to point to uvx on your machine.)

"mcpServers": {
"make_mcp": {
"command": "/Users/rmbutler/.local/bin/uvx",
"args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/RoryMB/Make_MCP@main", "make_mcp"]
}
}
}
Finding Tools, Resources, and Prompts
Restart Claude Desktop to see make_mcp appear in the "+" and "Search and tools" menus.
The "+" menu will display all of your servers with resources or prompts.
Click a server name to see the list of its resources and prompts, then click one to attach it to your message.
The "Search and tools" menu will display all of your servers with tools.
Beside each server name is a number indicating how many tools are enabled for that server, or "Disabled" if all of its tools are disabled.
Claude will only use enabled tools.
Click a server name to see the list of its tools, and use the toggle switches to enable or disable them individually.
Using Make_MCP to make a new server
You can use either a resource or a tool to get Make_MCP to help you make a server.
Tool method
The most straightforward method is to simply ensure the make_mcp server's how_to_make_mcp tool is enabled, then tell Claude something like:
Write a basic mcp server with a very simple URL fetch tool to get HTML.
Claude will ask for permission to use the how_to_make_mcp tool, which simply returns a bit of documentation on MCP servers and a small example server script.
Resource method
If you don't want Claude to use the tool, you can manually add the resource by clicking "+" > "Add from make_mcp" > "make_mcp".
This resource is designed to attach the same set of documentation to the top of your next message.
The resource is only included for demonstration purposes. Typically you would just have Claude use the tool.
Adding the new server to Claude Desktop
With either method, Claude will write your MCP server as an artifact that you can download. Add it to the configuration file just like Make_MCP.
Make sure to set the args to point to where your file is, and add any necessary environment variables to the optional env section.

Restart Claude Desktop to see your new tools added to the "Search and tools" menu, and any resources or prompts added to the "+" menu.
