# Connect Gemini CLI to Zapier MCP

> Add Zapier MCP to Gemini CLI with a single command and authenticate over OAuth.

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

## Before you begin

* A [Zapier account](https://zapier.com/sign-up).

## Connect Zapier MCP to Gemini CLI

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install Gemini CLI">
    If you have not installed it yet, follow the [Gemini CLI installation guide](https://geminicli.com/docs/get-started/installation/).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the Zapier server">
    Run this command to add Zapier MCP:

    ```bash theme={null}
    gemini mcp add --scope user zapier https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect --type http
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Log in">
    Start `gemini` and run `/mcp auth zapier` to log in with your Zapier account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the connection">
    In Gemini CLI, ask:

    ```text theme={null}
    Run the Zapier onboarding skill using get_zapier_skill with name "zapier-mcp-onboarding" and follow its instructions.
    ```

    Your agent lists the Zapier tools available to it. If nothing appears, check [Troubleshoot](/mcp/troubleshoot/tools-missing-in-client).
