Zapier MCP
Zapier's official MCP plugin: the agent gets actions across thousands of apps through your Zapier account
Install
/plugin marketplace add zapier/marketplace
/plugin install mcp@zapierThis is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.
What it does
Zapier MCP is a hosted server through which the agent acts in apps connected to Zapier: sending messages, pulling data and triggering workflows. This repository distributes the client plugin that layers skills on top of the server connection: guided onboarding, a short demo, action discovery and a connection status check. The plugin is packaged for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and GitHub Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI gets an extension, and VS Code connects to the server URL directly.
Who it is for. For people already automating with Zapier who want to drive connected apps from their agent.
Good fit when
- You want the agent to post to Slack or add a spreadsheet row
- You need an app that has no MCP server of its own
- You want guided setup of Zapier MCP
Not a fit when
- You have no Zapier account or plan limits do not allow extra tasks
- The target service has its own official MCP server with fuller features
Example request
Using Zapier, add a row to the leads sheet and notify the sales channel in SlackLimitations
Requires a Zapier account, and actions consume plan limits. The server is hosted, so data flows through Zapier. Available actions depend on apps connected in your account. The repository holds only the plugin; the server code is closed.
How to disable. Uninstall the plugin via /plugin in Claude Code or remove the server from the client config, then revoke MCP access in your Zapier account.
Security check
- Performs actions in external apps on the user's behalf
- Data passes through a third-party platform
README in short
The README explains that the repository holds the client plugin on top of the hosted Zapier MCP server. It lists install sources per client: the Zapier marketplace, Anthropic and Cursor official marketplaces, Kiro and a Gemini CLI extension. VS Code gets the direct server URL. Client setup guides live in Zapier's docs. MIT licensed.
FAQ
Do I need the plugin if I can add the server URL?
No, the URL is enough to work. The plugin adds onboarding, a demo and skills that teach the agent how to use Zapier.
How do I connect Gemini CLI?
Run gemini extensions install https://github.com/zapier/zapier-mcp, then /mcp auth zapier.
