Zapier MCP connects to Claude with a prompt. Paste it into a new conversation and Claude sets up the connection, then runs the Zapier onboarding Skill for you.

​
Before you begin

  • A Zapier account.
  • A Claude plan that supports custom connectors. All plans support custom MCP connectors. Free plans are limited to one connector. Team and Enterprise plans require an approval step before connectors become available to members.
Team and Enterprise users: Only Owners can add new connectors to the organization. Once an Owner adds Zapier MCP at the organization level, individual members can connect on their own. Learn more in Anthropic’s connector documentation.
