What it does

This repository distributes the plugin for Zapier MCP, a hosted MCP server. According to the README, Zapier MCP gives any MCP-compatible AI client governed access to 9,000+ apps, so you can send messages, pull data and trigger workflows in plain English.

The README says the plugin is the part that lives in your AI client. It layers guided onboarding, a first-use demo and role-tailored skills on top of the base connection, which the README says only takes a server URL.

The README lists where each client gets the plugin: Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot CLI, Claude Cowork, Kiro and Gemini CLI. It says VS Code connects directly to the hosted server instead. The repository also holds a gemini-extension.json file and an llms.txt discovery index.

Who it is for

People who use an MCP-compatible AI client and want it to work with apps through the hosted Zapier MCP server.

Example tasks

Install the plugin in Claude Code from a marketplace the README names.
Connect an AI client to Zapier MCP with a server URL.
Follow the guided onboarding after installing the plugin.
Run the first-use demo.
Ask your assistant in plain English to send a message, pull data or trigger a workflow.

Getting started

The README says connecting Zapier MCP to a client only takes a server URL and points to Zapier's documentation for step-by-step instructions per client. To install the plugin, it names a source per client: zapier/marketplace or anthropics/claude-plugins-official for Claude Code; a badge or cursor/mcp-servers for Cursor; zapier/marketplace for OpenAI Codex and GitHub Copilot CLI; anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins for Claude Cowork; and Kiro's powers page for Kiro. For Gemini CLI, run the extension install command the README gives, then /mcp auth zapier. For VS Code, use the badge or add the server URL the README gives, with type: http. The README has the exact commands.

Limitations

The plugin depends on the hosted Zapier MCP server and an MCP-compatible AI client. The README calls the server hosted and says this repository distributes the plugin, the part that lives in your AI client. It says a few clients also install the plugin, and that VS Code connects directly to the hosted server. For Gemini CLI, the README gives an extension install command and then /mcp auth zapier. The README describes the plugin's features in general terms (guided onboarding, a first-use demo, role-tailored skills) and does not describe individual skills. It gives no model, runtime or operating-system requirements and states no pricing for the hosted service. The repository can change at any time; check its README before you install.

Data practices

The README depicts your AI client connecting to the hosted Zapier MCP service, which connects to apps including Gmail, Slack and Google Sheets. The README describes sending messages, pulling data and triggering workflows through connected apps. It does not detail data payloads, retention or telemetry.
