Zapier MCP authentication: Server URL, token, and API key

​

Server URL

For most listed clients, Zapier MCP generates a client-specific server URL during setup, so you do not need to manage credentials manually. Popular clients show their setup instructions in a dialog as soon as you choose them. For any other client, the Connect tab on your server has the steps.

​

Connection token

​

Generate a token

1. Go to mcp.zapier.com and select your server, or add one with See all > Other.
2. Select the Connect tab.
3. Click Generate token.
4. Copy your credentials. You can either copy the server URL, which now includes your token, or copy the token on its own from the token field.
5. Store your credentials somewhere safe straight away. The token is only shown once.

​

How to connect

Authorization: Bearer <token>

https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect

Use the full server URL with the token included as a query parameter. After you generate a token, the Connect tab shows this complete URL, ready to copy.

​

Regenerate a token

1. Go to mcp.zapier.com and select your server.
2. Select the Connect tab.
3. Click Regenerate token.
4. Copy and store the new token immediately. It is only visible once.

​

API key

​

Generate an API key

1. Go to mcp.zapier.com and select your server.
2. Select TypeScript or Python as your client.
3. Select the Connect tab.
4. Click Generate token.

The Connect tab then shows a ready-to-copy code sample with your key already in the URL. You can also copy the key on its own from Or manually copy the token.

​

Connect from your code

npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk

pip install fastmcp

import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js";
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js";

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect?token=YOUR_MCP_API_KEY")
);
const client = new Client({ name: "app", version: "1.0" });
await client.connect(transport);

from fastmcp import Client
from fastmcp.client.transports import StreamableHttpTransport

transport = StreamableHttpTransport(
    "https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect?token=YOUR_MCP_API_KEY"
)
client = Client(transport)

async with client:
    tools = await client.list_tools()

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY
