# Connect Claude to Zapier MCP

> Connect Zapier MCP to Claude on the web and desktop with a single prompt.

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](https://zapier.com/sign-up).
* 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.

<Note>
  **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](https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/11175166-about-custom-integrations-using-remote-mcp).

## Connect Zapier MCP to Claude

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

    ```text theme={null}
    Connect to Zapier MCP for me. If I haven't already connected to Zapier, prompt me to install the connector. After the connector is installed, use the get_zapier_skill tool with name "zapier-mcp-onboarding" and follow its instructions to set me up.
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste it into Claude">
    Open [claude.ai](https://claude.ai/new), paste the prompt into a new conversation, and follow the instructions.

    When prompted, authenticate with your Zapier account.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Claude Desktop syncs its connectors from Claude on the web. Complete the setup above, then open Claude Desktop and the connection carries over. If tools do not appear, close and reopen the app to force a sync.
