# Connect OpenClaw to Zapier MCP

> Set up Zapier MCP in OpenClaw by pasting a prompt into your chat.

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.

## Before you begin

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

## Connect Zapier MCP to OpenClaw

<Steps>
  <Step title="Copy the prompt">
    Copy this prompt and paste it into a new OpenClaw conversation:

    ```text theme={null}
    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.
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Follow the instructions">
    Paste the prompt into a new OpenClaw conversation and follow the instructions.

    When prompted, authenticate with your Zapier account.
