How to Connect Claude to 3,000+ Apps With Make.com
Claude and ChatGPT are great at a lot of work, but they still struggle to do real tasks inside the apps you already use. In this video, I show you how to connect Claude to over 3,000 apps with one single connection using the Make MCP server.

First, I use Maia, Make’s AI assistant, to build four automated scenarios. These include an AI expense tracker in Google Sheets, a Slack budget alert, a HubSpot lead tool, and a Gmail follow-up sender. Then I connect Claude to Make as a custom connector and run every workflow straight from the chat. I also cover why deterministic workflows beat pure AI agent automations, the drawbacks to know, and my process to automate more of your weekly work.
