Automation - official Zapier server
Zapier MCP server
Hosted MCP server that connects an MCP client to a Zapier account so the AI can run actions across 9,000+ apps, manage app connections and skills, and build and run Zapier workflows. Zapier hosts it at https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect with OAuth or API key auth.

list_zapier_connections- Lists the app connections available for an app.
manage_zapier_connections- Returns a URL to add a new connection, or sets an app's default connection.
get_configuration_url- Returns the URL to your Zapier MCP configuration page.
list_zapier_skills- Lists your saved Zapier skills.
get_zapier_skill- Retrieves a specific skill by name.

As documented on October 17, 2026. A running server reports its current list through tools/list.
Notes and caveats
- Streamable HTTP only (no SSE).
- OAuth for supported clients (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Grok Bot, VS Code); a connection token for other clients and custom code.
- Each successful tool call uses two tasks from the Zapier plan; sharing a server needs a Team or Enterprise plan; one server per named MCP client.
- Cursor setup is via the Zapier plugin in the Cursor marketplace (no config snippet); Claude Code can also use the official plugin (/plugin install zapier@claude-plugins-official).
- The zapier/zapier-mcp repo is the plugin distribution (manifests, onboarding skills), not the server source, and has no GitHub releases.
- Many more workflow, draft, trigger and skill tools exist beyond the 15 listed.
- Next Gen Zaps building through MCP is early access.
- Zapier's docs site separately serves a Mintlify docs-search MCP at https://docs.zapier.com/mcp.
