Zapier MCP connects your Python code to 9,000+ apps and 40,000+ actions. Zapier holds the app credentials, so your code never handles a third-party API key.

Before you begin

​
Connect Python to Zapier MCP

1

Create an MCP server

  • Go to mcp.zapier.com.
  • Click + Add MCP Server.
  • Under Choose your AI agent, search for and select Python.
2

Generate a connection token

  • Select the link icon Connect tab.
  • Click Generate token.
Store the token somewhere safe straight away. It is only shown once, and you cannot retrieve it later. You can regenerate the token if you need a new one.
Treat your connection token like a password. It can be used to run tools on this server and access your data.
3

Connect with an MCP SDK

The link icon Connect tab gives you a copy-ready snippet with your token already in the URL. The snippet uses FastMCP, but any MCP SDK that supports Streamable HTTP works.
You can also copy the token on its own from Or manually copy the token.To keep the token out of the URL, send it in an Authorization header instead: Authorization: Bearer ZAPIER_MCP_TOKEN.
You’ve now connected Python to Zapier MCP.
