About Make

What is Make: Transform Visions, Craft Brilliance?

Make is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that bridges the gap between AI systems and Cloudinary's cloud infrastructure. By exposing Cloudinary's Upload and Admin APIs as actionable tools, it empowers AI assistants to perform tasks like asset management and media processing directly within your Cloudinary environment. Think of it as a translator that lets your AI workflows "speak" Cloudinary’s technical language.

Key Features of Make: Transform Visions, Craft Brilliance?

API Automation: Automatically handles API calls for uploading, managing, and retrieving assets without manual intervention.
AI-Ready Integration: Converts Cloudinary’s capabilities into structured tools that AI models can invoke programmatically.
Security-First Design: Leverages environment variables to securely store API credentials, minimizing exposed credentials in code.

While not all Cloudinary methods are currently supported, the team prioritizes user feedback—meaning your specific needs could shape future updates.

How to Use Make: Transform Visions, Craft Brilliance?

Setup Requirements

You’ll need:

Node.js installed on your machine
A Cloudinary account with API keys/secret (generated via the Cloudinary console)
An MCP client like the Claude Desktop App

Configuration Steps

Edit your claude_desktop_config.json to include:


{
    "mcpServers": {
        "make": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": ["-y", "cloudinary-mcp-server"],
            "env": {
                "CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME": "your-cloud-name",
                "CLOUDINARY_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
                "CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET": "your-api-secret"
            }
        }
    }
}

Personal note: I’d recommend using environment variable files (e.g., .env) instead of hardcoding credentials for better security.

Use Cases of Make: Transform Visions, Craft Brilliance?

Imagine AI systems:

Automatically optimizing images based on user feedback
Generating and uploading media assets directly from prompts
Managing cloud storage by deleting redundant files

For example, a chatbot could process a user’s request to “resize all product images to 800px width” and trigger the resize operation via Make.

Make FAQ

FAQ from Make: Transform Visions, Craft Brilliance?

What if a needed API method isn’t supported?: Open an issue on GitHub. The team reviews requests and prioritizes updates.
Can I use this with non-Claude AI systems?: Yes, as long as the AI framework supports MCP standards. Configuration steps may vary.
Is there rate limiting?: Depends on your Cloudinary plan. Make respects all API rate limits imposed by Cloudinary.

Cloudinary MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server that exposes Cloudinary Upload & Admin API methods as tools by AI assistants. This integration allows AI systems to trigger and interact with your Cloudinary cloud.

How It Works

The MCP server:

Makes calls on your behalf to the Cloudinary API
Enables uploading of assets to Cloudinary
Enables management of assets in your Cloudinary cloud

It relies on the Cloudinary API to perform these actions. Not all methods and parameters are supported. More will be added over time.

Open an issue with a request for specific method if you need it.

Benefits

Turn your Cloudinary cloud actions into callable tools for AI assistants
Turn your Cloudinary assets into data for AI assistants

Usage with Claude Desktop

Prerequisites

NodeJS
MCP Client (like Claude Desktop App)
Make API Key/Secret at: API KEYS

Installation

To use this server with the Claude Desktop app, add the following configuration to the "mcpServers" section of your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "make": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": ["-y", "cloudinary-mcp-server"],
            "env": {
                "CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME": "<cloud name>",
                "CLOUDINARY_API_KEY": "<api-key>",
                "CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET": "<api-secret>"
            }
        }
    }
}
