Set up Zapier MCP for OpenClaw

Setup steps:

1. Install mcporter if you don't have it: npx -y mcporter
2. Add the Zapier MCP server: mcporter config add zapier --url "https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect" --client-name "openclaw"
3. Verify the connection: mcporter list zapier --schema

Once you've confirmed the connection works and tools are listed, call get_zapier_skill with name "zapier:onboarding". This will guide me through adding apps and configuring my tools step by step. Follow the skill's instructions and dialogue with me until onboarding is complete.

Follow the instructions

Paste the prompt into a new OpenClaw conversation and follow the instructions.When prompted, authenticate with your Zapier account.

Try it out

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

“Find my last 5 emails and summarize them”
“What meetings do I have tomorrow?”
“Create a task in [app] to follow up with [name]”
“Send a Slack message to [channel] about [topic]“
