IFTTT MCP server
Automate 1,000+ services from any MCP-compatible AI agent: build Applets, run actions and queries.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http ifttt-mcp-server 'https://ifttt.com/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"ifttt-mcp-server": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://ifttt.com/mcp"
}
}
}

IFTTT Plugins
IFTTT is "if this, then that" — automation across hundreds of services, from Gmail and Google Sheets to Philips Hue and Webhooks. This repository packages that power for AI clients: official plugins that connect an agent to IFTTT's hosted MCP server at https://ifttt.com/mcp and teach it to discover services, build Applets, and run actions responsibly.
The MCP server itself is hosted by IFTTT and closed source. This repo holds only what runs inside your client: manifests, skills, rules, and assets.
Plugins
| Plugin | Description |
|---|---|
ifttt | Service discovery, Applet building and management, and direct actions and queries |
Installing
Cursor is our launch client — open cursor.com/marketplace/ifttt and click Install.
Running OpenClaw? Install the skill from ClawHub:
openclaw skills install @ifttt/ifttt
Not on either? Any MCP-compatible client can point at the server directly:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ifttt": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://ifttt.com/mcp"
}
}
}
The first time the server is used, your browser opens IFTTT's sign-in page. A free account is enough — approve access and you're set.
Repository layout
.cursor-plugin/marketplace.json Cursor marketplace manifest — lists every plugin under plugins/
plugins/<name>/
.cursor-plugin/plugin.json Cursor plugin manifest
mcp.json server connection (Cursor's default MCP config name)
skills/ workflows the agent can load (SKILL.md each)
rules/ always-on guardrails (.mdc)

SKILL.md ClawHub-format skill for OpenClaw agents
server.json entry for the official MCP Registry
llms.txt discovery index for LLM crawlers
scripts/validate.mjs structure checks (run in CI)
Cursor reads the root marketplace manifest first and ingests only the plugins it lists, so a new plugin needs an entry there as well as its own directory.
Contributing
Run node scripts/validate.mjs before opening a PR — CI runs the same checks. CONTRIBUTING.md covers scope, conventions, and local testing; AI agents working in this repo should start with AGENTS.md.
