IFTTT MCP server — Claude Code MCP server: features and setup
Connect Claude Code to IFTTT so an agent can find services, create and manage Applets, and run actions or queries.
claude mcp add --transport http mcp https://ifttt.com/mcpWhat IFTTT MCP server does
The server connects Claude Code to IFTTT over HTTP. An agent can discover services, build or manage Applets, and run direct actions and queries. Use it when you want to describe an automation to your agent and have it work with IFTTT.
On first use, IFTTT opens a sign-in page; log in and approve access. A free account is enough. Add the connection with claude mcp add --transport http mcp https://ifttt.com/mcp. IFTTT hosts the MCP server, and its source code is closed, so you cannot inspect the server implementation in this repository.
