MCP Zapier Server

The MCP Zapier Server bridges the Model Context Protocol with Zapier's action catalog. Because Zapier already has pre-built integrations for thousands of SaaS apps, a single MCP server gives an LLM client access to Gmail, HubSpot, Trello, Notion, Airtable and more — behind one OAuth flow and one set of rate limits.

Frequently asked questions

Does Zapier publish this server officially?

Zapier has released official MCP and AI Actions endpoints. Several wrappers around them are also community-maintained; both approaches are valid.

How does user consent work?

Zapier handles OAuth for each downstream app. The model never sees those credentials — it just invokes the Zapier action the user has pre-enabled.

Is there a free tier?

Yes, Zapier offers a limited free tier for AI Actions; production usage usually needs a paid plan.
