Zapier MCP Plugin Distribution

Zapier MCP gives any MCP-compatible AI client governed access to 9,000+ apps — send messages, pull data, trigger workflows, all in plain English. No code, no infrastructure, SOC 2 Type II certified. ⚡

This repo distributes the Zapier MCP plugin — the part that lives in your AI client. Install it from your client's marketplace and your assistant arrives knowing how to use Zapier well, with guided onboarding, a quick demo, and skills tailored to your role.

What's in this repo

plugins/zapier/: the plugin that onboards you to Zapier MCP and supercharges your experience

Getting started

Connecting Zapier MCP to your AI client only takes a server URL — see docs.zapier.com/mcp/clients for step-by-step instructions for every supported client.

A few clients also install the plugin distributed from this repo, which layers guided onboarding, a first-use demo, and role-tailored skills on top of that base connection:

Claude Code: add zapier/marketplace or anthropics/claude-plugins-official
Cursor: use the badge above, or add cursor/mcp-servers
OpenAI Codex and GitHub Copilot CLI: add zapier/marketplace
Claude Cowork: add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins
Kiro: via kiro.dev/powers
Gemini CLI: gemini extensions install https://github.com/zapier/zapier-mcp, then /mcp auth zapier — see gemini-extension.json

VS Code connects directly to the hosted MCP server rather than through a plugin — use the badge above, or add https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect (type: http) manually.
