IFTTT MCP: automate 1,000+ services from your AI app

Automate 1,000+ services from your AI app with IFTTT's MCP server: build Applets, run actions and run queries. Actions do things in your other services, so ContextGate lets you switch off the action and Applet tools, have a policy warn before an action runs, and see every call in Activity.

Connect IFTTT to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

  1. 1Click Connect IFTTT free and sign in with your IFTTT account.
  2. 2Every tool is on after you connect. Queries only read, but actions and new Applets change things in your other services; switch off the action and Applet-building tools if your AI app should only look things up.
  3. 3Add ContextGate to your AI app as a connector or MCP server. The steps for each app are on the Works with page.
  4. 4Ask your AI app to build an IFTTT Applet for a routine you repeat, then open Activity to see what it created.

Automation with IFTTT

  • Build an Applet by describing the automation you want.
  • Run an action in one of IFTTT's 1,000+ services from a chat.
  • Run a query to pull information from a connected service.

Keep automations deliberate

  • Switch off action tools so your AI app can query but not act; they're hidden and refused if called.
  • A policy can warn or block before an action runs.
  • Activity records each Applet built and each action run.

What you get with IFTTT and ContextGate

  • Your AI apps can use IFTTTClaude, Cursor, ChatGPT and other AI apps reach IFTTT through the one ContextGate connection you add to them.
  • You choose which tools they can useSwitch off any IFTTT tool you don't want used. It's hidden from your AI apps and refused if called.
  • Every call is checked and recordedYour policies check each call (for example, personal data is hidden and secrets are blocked), and Activity keeps a record of it.

ContextGate sees only the tool calls that go through it, not your AI app's built-in tools or your chats.

IFTTT tools

IFTTT's own MCP server shows its tools once you sign in. When you connect it, they are listed and synced in your workspace.
