# IFTTT MCP server

> Build Applets and run actions and queries across 1,000+ services connected to IFTTT from your AI assistant.

- Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/ifttt
- Connect: use the server's own URL `https://ifttt.com/mcp` (OAuth sign-in at the server); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint.
- Type: remote (Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth sign-in
- Category: [Automation & Integrations](https://mcp.tc/c/automation)
- Vendor: IFTTT
- Verified: yes, mcp.tc checked that this is the official server (https://mcp.tc/verify). It says who runs the server, not that it is safe.

## About

Connects an AI assistant to IFTTT, the automation service that links apps and devices such as Gmail, Google Sheets, Philips Hue and Webhooks. The assistant can discover available services, build and manage Applets, and run direct actions and queries on connected services.

The server is hosted by IFTTT at https://ifttt.com/mcp and uses streamable HTTP. The first use opens a browser sign-in page for IFTTT through OAuth, and a free IFTTT account is enough. Nothing needs to be installed locally. The server itself is closed source, and IFTTT also publishes plugins for Cursor and OpenClaw.

## What it can do

- Discover services available through IFTTT
- Build and manage Applets
- Run direct actions on connected services
- Run queries against connected services

## Example prompts

- "Create an IFTTT Applet that saves my starred Gmail emails to a Google Sheet."
- "Which services can I connect through IFTTT?"
- "Turn off my Philips Hue lights using IFTTT."
- "List my existing IFTTT Applets."

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http ifttt https://ifttt.com/mcp
```

2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **ifttt** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the IFTTT sign-in.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **IFTTT** and paste this URL:

```url
https://ifttt.com/mcp
```

3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when IFTTT asks.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=IFTTT&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fifttt.com%2Fmcp>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://ifttt.com/mcp` and click **Add**.

3. Click **Connect** and sign in when IFTTT asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**.

2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server.

3. Paste `https://ifttt.com/mcp` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to IFTTT to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=ifttt&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2lmdHR0LmNvbS9tY3AifQ%3D%3D>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ifttt": {
      "url": "https://ifttt.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Cursor shows **Needs login** next to the server. Click it to sign in.

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=ifttt&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fifttt.com%2Fmcp%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"ifttt","type":"http","url":"https://ifttt.com/mcp"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "ifttt": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://ifttt.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ifttt": {
      "serverUrl": "https://ifttt.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add ifttt --url https://ifttt.com/mcp
codex mcp login ifttt
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.ifttt]
url = "https://ifttt.com/mcp"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http ifttt https://ifttt.com/mcp
```

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth ifttt` to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ifttt": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://ifttt.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://ifttt.com/mcp`.
