Zapier MCP Server Plugin

> Official plugin distribution for Zapier MCP. Install the plugin in your AI client and your agent gains access to 9,000+ apps and 40,000+ actions via Zapier's hosted Model Context Protocol server.

The hosted server lives at mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect and is closed source. This repo is the discovery and installation surface: plugin manifests, onboarding skills, and lifecycle rules that help your AI client use the server correctly from the first call.

About Zapier MCP

Zapier MCP is a hosted Model Context Protocol server that connects AI assistants to 9,000+ apps. Servers run in one of two modes:

• Agentic — Action discovery and execution are managed in chat through built-in meta-tools.
• Classic — Each enabled action is exposed as a dedicated tool named app_action_name.

The plugin in this repo detects which mode you're on and routes accordingly. For the full mode-specific built-in tool reference and product overview, see docs.zapier.com/mcp/home.

What's in this repo

• Per-client plugin manifests for Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot CLI, under plugins/zapier/. Installing the plugin also registers the hosted MCP server with your client — that's why zapier shows up under /mcp after install, via .mcp.json.
• A Kiro Power bundle under zapier-power/ — POWER.md manifest, scoped mcp.json, and steering/ files for Kiro.dev consumption
• An MCP Registry manifest at server.json so the hosted server is discoverable in the official MCP Registry
• Onboarding skills for auth, action selection, and health checks (skills/)
• Lifecycle rules covering server-mode detection and the read/write safety model (zapier-lifecycle.mdc)
• Brand assets (assets/)

What's not here:

• The MCP server itself — hosted at mcp.zapier.com (closed source)
• The action catalog — managed at mcp.zapier.com
• Product documentation — at docs.zapier.com/mcp/home

For a routing guide to specific skills, rules, and manifests, see AGENTS.md.

Install

Claude Code

If you've already added Anthropic's official Claude Code plugin marketplace (anthropics/claude-plugins-official), install directly:

/plugin install zapier@claude-plugins-official

Otherwise, add this repo as the marketplace first:

/plugin marketplace add zapier/zapier-mcp
/plugin install zapier@zapier-plugins

Cursor

Open cursor.com/marketplace/zapier and click Install.

GitHub Copilot CLI

copilot plugin marketplace add zapier/zapier-mcp
copilot plugin install zapier@zapier-plugins

Kiro

Browse to kiro.dev/powers, find Zapier, and click Add to Kiro. Powers register through the IDE — no command-line setup. The catalog entry is mirrored at kirodotdev/powers.

Any other MCP-compatible client

Add to your client's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zapier": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect"
    }
  }
}

Then sign in at mcp.zapier.com when prompted.

After install

1. Enable actions at mcp.zapier.com — each enabled action becomes a tool your AI can call. 2. Trust but verify writes. The lifecycle rules require explicit user confirmation before any write action runs. Read actions don't need confirmation. 3. Run a health check. Ask your agent to "check Zapier status" to invoke the zapier-status skill and see what's configured.
