📚 Documentation

What is Zapier MCP?

Zapier MCP is a standardized way to connect AI assistants to thousands of apps and services. It enables your AI to take real actions like:

💬 Send Slack messages and create channels.
📊 Add rows to Google Sheets and create spreadsheets.
📧 Send Gmail emails and manage labels.
✅ Create Asana tasks and update projects.
🐙 Create GitHub issues and manage PRs.
📈 Update HubSpot deals and manage contacts.

All through natural language commands—just describe what you want done.

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.

Plugins

This repo also hosts official Zapier plugins for AI workflows. Each plugin is a standalone directory under plugins/ with its own manifest.

Plugin	Category	Description
Zapier	Productivity	Connect 8,000+ apps to your AI workflow. Discover, enable, and execute Zapier actions directly from your client. Includes onboarding skills, status tools, and safety rules.
