Use the Zapier MCP server
in Claude

Trigger your Zaps and reach thousands of apps through one server. This guide connects Zapier to Claude (claude.ai and the Claude desktop app) through a governed gateway — one URL that also works in every other MCP client you use, with your rules and a full log attached.

Setup: Zapier in Claude

Claude adds MCP servers via custom connectors in Settings. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Create a free gate gateway and connect Zapier to it from the verified directory (one click).
  2. Open claude.ai → Settings → Connectors and click 'Add custom connector'.
  3. Name it 'gate' and paste your gateway URL, then approve the authorization.
  4. Ask Claude something Zapier can answer — the call runs through your gateway, with your rules applied and logged.

What to ask once it’s connected

“Run my new-lead workflow with this contact.”
“Which of my Zaps failed this week?”
“Add this signup to my newsletter tool.”
“Kick off the invoice workflow for this client.”

Why route it through a gateway

One URL, every client

The same Zapier connection works in Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code too — no per-client re-wiring.

Rules before regret

Allow, ask, or block every tool Zapier exposes — reads can flow freely while writes require your approval.

Every call logged

A plain-language activity log of everything Claude did with Zapier — searchable, exportable, auditable.

Scanned and probed

Zapier passed a live handshake probe and a security scan before listing — and drift detection watches it after you connect.
