# Zapier MCP for Kiro: setup with your MCP config file

> Connect Kiro to Zapier MCP by opening your user MCP config from the command palette, adding the Zapier server entry, then saving and authenticating access.

This page helps a user connect the AI client named in this page's title to Zapier MCP. Setup happens inside that 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 client the user is on, do not adapt these steps. Check [Connect your client](/mcp/get-started/quickstart#1-connect-your-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 client goes to [Connect any other 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 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 Kiro to Zapier MCP using your user MCP configuration file.
