Getting Started
1. Generate your credentials
Visit mcp.zapier.com to set up your server. Two auth options are available:
- API Key — Best for personal use and local development. Generate one at mcp.zapier.com.
- OAuth — Best for building apps where end users connect their own Zapier account. Use the connect URL: https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect
2. Connect your MCP client
Point your AI client at your Zapier MCP server URL. See client-specific setup guides at mcp.zapier.com.
3. Add actions to your server
Visit mcp.zapier.com to browse and enable specific actions. Each action you add becomes a callable tool in your AI client.

Built-in Tools
Every Zapier MCP server comes with a set of meta-tools available immediately—before you configure any actions. These let your AI discover and understand what's possible:
| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| get_configuration_url | Returns the URL to add/edit/remove actions from this server |
---
How Actions Work
When you add an action at mcp.zapier.com, it gets exposed as a dedicated tool on your MCP server. Your AI can then call it directly.
Example: Enable the "Gmail - Send Email" action, and your AI gains a gmail_send_email tool it can invoke with the right parameters (to, subject, body) whenever you ask it to send an email.
The more actions you enable, the more capable your AI becomes. You can build a focused server with just a handful of tools, or a broad one that spans your entire stack.
