Connect VS Code to Zapier MCP

Zapier MCP connects to VS Code as an MCP server. Install it in one click, or add the Zapier connect URL to your configuration manually.

Before you begin

Open VS Code and add the Zapier MCP server automatically.

Open your MCP config

Open the command palette (Cmd+Shift+P) and run MCP: Open User Configuration.

Add the Zapier server

Add the following to your settings:

{
  "servers": {
    "Zapier": {
      "url": "https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect"
    }
  }
}

When prompted, authenticate with your Zapier account.

Verify the connection

In VS Code, open a new Copilot chat in Agent mode and ask:

Run the Zapier onboarding skill using get_zapier_skill with name "zapier-mcp-onboarding" and follow its instructions.

Your agent lists the Zapier tools available to it. If nothing appears, check Troubleshoot.

Run the onboarding Skill and make your first tool call.

Learn how dynamic tool discovery works and what the meta-tools do.
