Zapier MCP connects to Cursor via OAuth. You do not need to manually configure a server URL. The connection is handled through the Connect tab in mcp.zapier.com.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Zapier MCP server. If you have not created one yet, follow Your first MCP workflow.
  • Cursor installed and up to date. Some older versions have a known OAuth issue. Update Cursor before starting if you have not done so recently.

Follow the setup instructions

The Connect tab will show you the steps to add your Zapier MCP server to Cursor. Follow them to complete the connection.When prompted, authenticate with your Zapier account via OAuth.
Some versions of Cursor have an RFC 9728 OAuth issue that prevents authentication from completing. If authentication fails repeatedly, update Cursor to the latest version and try again.

Confirm the connection

In Cursor, open a new chat and ask: “What Zapier tools do I have available?”Your agent should list the tools enabled on your server. If nothing appears, check Troubleshoot.
You can also install Zapier directly from the Cursor marketplace at cursor.com/marketplace/zapier. The marketplace install configures the connection automatically without the Connect tab.
