Connect Gemini CLI to Zapier MCP

Zapier MCP connects to Gemini CLI over OAuth. Add the server with one command, then log in from the CLI.

Before you begin

Install Gemini CLI

If you have not installed it yet, follow the Gemini CLI installation guide.

Add the Zapier server

Run this command to add Zapier MCP:

gemini mcp add --scope user zapier https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect --type http

Start gemini and run /mcp auth zapier to log in with your Zapier account.

Finish setup

In Gemini CLI, ask:

Run the Zapier onboarding skill using get_zapier_skill with name "zapier:onboarding" and follow its instructions.

Verify the connection

Ask Gemini CLI:

What Zapier tools do you have available?

Gemini CLI should list the Zapier MCP tools. If tools do not appear, check Troubleshooting.

After setup, ask Gemini CLI to do something with your connected apps:

Run the onboarding Skill and make your first tool call.

Learn how dynamic tool discovery works and what the meta-tools do.
