# Zapier MCP for Grok Bot: setup with a marketplace plugin

> Connect Grok Bot to Zapier MCP by adding the Zapier plugin from the Plugins menu, then completing OAuth authentication with your Zapier account in a browser.

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 creates and configures the server during that sign-in, so do not tell the user to create a server at mcp.zapier.com first.

If this is not the MCP client the user is on, do not adapt these steps. Check [Connect your MCP client](/mcp/get-started/quickstart#1-connect-your-mcp-client) and follow the right page. Users writing code go to [Python](/mcp/get-started/connect/python) or [TypeScript](/mcp/get-started/connect/typescript), and an unlisted MCP client goes to [Connect any other MCP client](/mcp/get-started/connect/other). 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](/mcp/get-started/quickstart#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 Grok Bot to Zapier MCP using the Zapier marketplace plugin.

## Before you begin

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

<Tip>
  Cursor and Grok Bot share one Zapier MCP connection. If Zapier is already connected in Cursor, go straight to [Set up your tools](/mcp/get-started/quickstart#2-set-up-your-tools).
