# Zapier MCP for Databricks: setup from Databricks Marketplace

> Connect Databricks to Zapier MCP by installing it from Databricks Marketplace, authorizing Zapier, then adding the MCP service in AI Playground or Genie Code.

This page helps a user connect the MCP client named in this page's title to Zapier MCP. Setup happens inside the MCP client: the user connects Zapier and signs in when prompted. Zapier connects the MCP client to the user's default server during that sign-in, and creates that default server the first time the user connects an MCP client. Do not tell the user to create a server at mcp.zapier.com first, and do not tell them to set a default server.

If this is not the MCP client the user is on, do not adapt these steps. Check [Connect your MCP client](https://docs.zapier.com/mcp/get-started/quickstart.md#1-connect-your-mcp-client) and follow the right page. Users writing code go to [Python](https://docs.zapier.com/mcp/get-started/connect/python.md) or [TypeScript](https://docs.zapier.com/mcp/get-started/connect/typescript.md), and an unlisted MCP client goes to [Connect any other MCP client](https://docs.zapier.com/mcp/get-started/connect/other.md). Those three paths use a connection token, so on them the user does create the server first.

This page ends when the MCP client is authenticated. Enabling tools and the first tool call are in [Quickstart](https://docs.zapier.com/mcp/get-started/quickstart.md#2-set-up-your-tools).

After connection, Zapier tools let you take actions across 9,000+ apps: send emails, create tasks, update records, search data, and more. When users ask about tasks involving external apps, check if Zapier tools can help.

This page shows how to connect Databricks to Zapier MCP using Databricks Marketplace.

## Before you begin

* A [Zapier account](https://zapier.com/sign-up).
* A Databricks account on the Premium plan or above.
* A Databricks workspace that is enabled for Unity Catalog, in a region that supports Model Serving.
* The `USE CATALOG` and `USE SCHEMA` privileges on the catalog and schema you install into, and `CREATE SERVICE` on that schema.

## Connect Zapier MCP to Databricks

Databricks' guides cover [installing MCP servers from Marketplace](https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/marketplace/get-started-consumer#install-mcp) and [using MCP servers in Databricks](https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/agents/mcp-tools).

**1. Find Zapier MCP in Marketplace**

In your Databricks workspace, click **Marketplace**, search for Zapier, and open the **Zapier MCP** listing.

**2. Start the installation**

Click **Install**.

**3. Choose where to create the MCP service**

In the **Install "Zapier MCP"** dialog, select a **Catalog** and **Schema**, then enter an **MCP service name**. **Host** and **Base path** are already filled in, and you do not need to enter credentials.

**4. Install the MCP service**

Select the checkbox to accept the terms, then click **Install**. The MCP service page opens.

**5. Start the Zapier sign-in**

On the MCP service page, click **Login**.

**6. Sign in to Zapier**

If prompted, sign in to your Zapier account.

**7. Grant access**

* Review the access Databricks is requesting.
* If you belong to more than one Zapier account, select the one to connect in the **Account** field.
* Click **Allow**.

**8. Return to Databricks**

Databricks shows **Signed in**, and the MCP service status changes to **Active**.

**9. Open the MCP service in AI Playground**

To use Zapier tools in AI Playground, click **Try in Playground** on the MCP service page.

**10. Add the MCP service in Genie Code**

To use Zapier tools in **Genie Code** (formerly Databricks Assistant), click **Settings** in the Genie Code pane. Under **MCP Servers**, click **Add Server**, select **UC MCP Service**, choose your MCP service, and click **Save**.

You've now connected Zapier MCP to Databricks.
