Zapier MCP connects to Zed as a remote MCP server. Add the Zapier connect URL from your MCP server settings and authenticate with your Zapier account.

## Before you begin

* A [Zapier account](https://zapier.com/sign-up).
* Zed installed.

## Connect Zapier MCP to Zed

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open MCP server settings">
    In Zed, open your MCP server settings.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a remote server">
    Click **Add server**, then **Add Remote Server**, and enter the following values:

    * *Server name:* `zapier`
    * *URL:* `https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect`

    Leave *Headers*, *Timeout*, and *OAuth Client ID* blank.
