# Connect Claude Code to Zapier MCP

> Connect Zapier MCP to Claude Code by pasting a prompt that runs the setup command for you.

Zapier MCP connects to Claude Code with a prompt. Paste it into Claude Code and it runs the install command, restarts, and sets you up with the Zapier onboarding Skill.

## Before you begin

* A [Zapier account](https://zapier.com/sign-up).
* [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) installed. Claude Code connects directly through the CLI. If you are on a Claude Team or Enterprise plan, your organization may require Owner approval before you can add MCP servers. Learn more in [Anthropic's connector documentation](https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/11175166-about-custom-integrations-using-remote-mcp).

## Connect Zapier MCP to Claude Code

<Steps>
  <Step title="Copy the prompt">
    Copy the prompt below:

    ```text theme={null}
    Install Zapier-MCP for me globally in a flash!

    Run this command:
      claude mcp add --transport http "Zapier-MCP" https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect

    Then give me step by step instructions for how to restart Claude Code. After restarting, use get_zapier_skill with name "zapier-mcp-onboarding" and follow its instructions to set me up.
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste it into Claude Code">
    Paste the prompt into Claude Code and follow the instructions.

    When prompted, authenticate with your Zapier account.

    <Warning>
      If you are running Claude Code on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), OAuth callbacks from the browser may not reach Claude Code. If authentication does not complete, run Claude Code from a native Windows or macOS terminal instead.
    </Warning>
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Zapier also publishes an official Claude Code plugin. If you have Anthropic's official plugin marketplace added, run `/plugin install zapier@claude-plugins-official`. Otherwise, add the Zapier marketplace first with `/plugin marketplace add zapier/zapier-mcp`, then run `/plugin install zapier@zapier-plugins`.
