# Zapier MCP

> Official plugin distribution repository for the hosted Zapier MCP server. Install Zapier MCP in your AI client to connect your assistant to 9,000+ apps and 40,000+ actions via the Model Context Protocol.

This repository contains per-client plugin manifests, install assets, skills, and rules. It does **not** contain the MCP server implementation — the server is hosted at `mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect` and is closed source. Pair this repo with the [Zapier MCP product page](https://zapier.com/mcp) and the [MCP documentation](https://docs.zapier.com/mcp/home.md) for the full picture.

## Getting started

- [README](https://github.com/zapier/zapier-mcp/blob/main/README.md): What Zapier MCP is, what it can do, and how to connect a client.
