Zapier MCP connects to OpenClaw with a prompt. Paste it into a new conversation and OpenClaw installs mcporter, adds the Zapier server, and runs the onboarding Skill for you.

Connect Zapier MCP to OpenClaw

Copy the prompt

Copy this prompt and paste it into a new OpenClaw conversation:
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 the "zapier-mcp-onboarding" skill. This will walk me through adding apps and configuring my tools step by step. Follow the skill's instructions and dialogue with me until onboarding is complete.
