# Zapier MCP for Pally: setup from your text conversation

> Connect Pally to Zapier MCP by asking Pally to connect Zapier in iMessage, RCS, or Telegram, then opening the secure link it sends and approving access.

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.

This page shows how to connect Pally, the AI personal assistant you text, to Zapier MCP using the Zapier connector in Pally.
