Connect your AI to 9,000+ apps and 40,000+ actions through Zapier MCP in three steps. Share this page’s URL with any AI agent for guided setup, or follow the steps below.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Create an MCP server

  1. Go to mcp.zapier.com and click + New MCP Server.
  2. Select your AI client from the dropdown.
  3. Give your server a name and click Create MCP Server.
  4. Select the Connect tab. This shows setup instructions specific to your client.

Step 2: Connect your client

Follow the instructions on the Connect tab for your client. For most clients this is an OAuth flow; your AI handles authentication and tool discovery automatically. You do not need to configure tools manually. If your client is not listed, select Other and follow the token-based setup.

Step 3: Verify the connection and try an action

Your connection is active as soon as you complete Step 2. To confirm everything is working, ask your AI about its available tools:
Your AI will discover and list what it can do. From there, try any action across your connected apps, for example:
You’re all set. Your AI can now work with any of your connected Zapier apps.
