Hosted Make MCP alternatives
Like Make's server, every option here is a managed remote endpoint: add it by URL, authenticate, and there is nothing to install or keep running. That is the appeal if you liked how little Make asked of you and want the same low setup pointed at a different automation engine or catalog.
Most of these are automation and integration tools, which is honest given Make's job. Two are end products an agent automates against directly, and one is a documentation server, included because building an automation often means reading a target API first.
The 8 best hosted alternatives
Activepieces turns its open-source automation pieces and flows into agent tools through a per-project remote endpoint. The closest hosted peer to Make, with the difference that its source is open.
Set up Activepieces →- ComposioOfficial
Connects an agent to 500+ apps through one OAuth-authenticated endpoint. A broad integration broker reached by URL, strong on tool discovery and execution.
Set up Composio → - PipedreamOfficial
Pipedream connects an agent to 2,800+ apps and 10,000+ prebuilt actions with managed OAuth and per-app endpoints. The widest integration catalog here, closest to Make on raw app coverage.
Set up Pipedream → - WindmillOfficial
Windmill's hosted server runs and manages scripts, flows, resources, variables, jobs, and schedules, and exposes your own scripts as agent tools. Script-first automation over a managed endpoint.
Set up Windmill → - ZapierOfficial
Running actions across 8,000+ apps and 40,000+ actions through a per-account endpoint is Zapier's hosted server. Like Make, it is closed source, and it is the broadest action catalog of the group.
Set up Zapier → Not an engine but a target: Notion's hosted server searches, reads, and writes pages and databases over OAuth. Included because automations so often act on a Notion workspace directly.
Set up Notion →Creates, finds, updates, and completes tasks, projects, labels, and reminders through Doist's official server. A common automation target, useful when the workflow you ran in Make was really managing tasks.
Set up Todoist →- AssemblyAIOfficial
AssemblyAI's official server lets agents search and read its speech-to-text and audio-intelligence docs on demand. Not an automation engine, but the reference you reach for when a workflow integrates that API.
Set up AssemblyAI →
How to choose
Every option installs the way Make's server does, a URL and an auth grant with nothing to run. Activepieces is the closest peer and open source; Zapier and Pipedream match or exceed Make's integration breadth, with Zapier likewise closed. Composio leans on tool discovery, Windmill on script-first workflows. Notion and Todoist are targets rather than engines, and AssemblyAI is a docs server for grounding a build against its API. Pick by whether you want an engine, a catalog, a target, or a reference.
FAQ
- Is the Make MCP server hosted or self-hosted?
- Hosted. Make runs it in the cloud and you connect over a managed endpoint, with no local process. The servers on this page work the same way, so the setup feels close to identical.
- Which hosted alternative is closest to Make?
- Activepieces is the nearest, exposing visual automation flows as agent tools much like Make while publishing its source. Zapier and Pipedream are close on integration breadth, with thousands of apps and actions, though Zapier is closed source like Make.
