# Zapier MCP for Grok: setup from the connector catalog

> Connect Grok on Grok.com to Zapier MCP by adding Zapier from the connector catalog or asking Grok to connect Zapier, then signing in to Zapier with OAuth.

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.
