Zapier MCP — ZAPIer MCP

ZAPIer MCP

Connect your AI 代理 to 8,000+ 应用s via ZAPIer's MCP (模型 上下文 Protocol) integration. This 技能 provides:

Full UI 仪表盘 — 配置 your MCP URL, test connections, browse avAIlable 工具s No OAuth Complexity — ZAPIer handles all authentication flows MCP Integration — 工具s are 访问ible via mcporter Overview

ZAPIer MCP exposes your 配置d ZAPIer actions as 工具s your 代理 can call. Unlike Pipedream (which requires OAuth 令牌 management), ZAPIer MCP uses a simple URL-based authentication — just paste your MCP URL and you're connected.

Prerequisites ZAPIer Account — 签名 up at zAPIer.com mcporter — MCP 工具 运行器 (npm 安装 -g mcporter) Clawd机器人 Gateway — v2026.1.0 or later with UI enabled Quick 启动 Step 1: 获取 Your ZAPIer MCP URL Go to zAPIer.com/mcp and 签名 in 配置 which actions to expose (e.g., "发送 Slack message", "创建 Google Sheet row") Copy your personalized MCP URL (looks like https://actions.zAPIer.com/mcp/...) Step 2: 配置 in Clawd机器人 UI Open Clawd机器人 仪表盘 → 工具s → ZAPIer 命令行工具ck 配置 Paste your MCP URL 命令行工具ck Save

That's it! ZAPIer will 验证 the URL and show how many 工具s are avAIlable.

Step 3: Use Your 工具s

Once connected, 工具s are avAIlable via mcporter:

# 列出 avAIlable 工具s mcporter 列出 zAPIer-mcp --模式

# Call a 工具 mcporter call zAPIer-mcp.<工具_name> --args '{"instructions": "your 请求"}'

Usage Patterns The instructions Parameter

Every ZAPIer 工具 accepts an instructions parameter. ZAPIer's AI interprets this to fill in missing parameters:

# ❌ Vague - may prompt for clarification mcporter call zAPIer-mcp.slack_发送_message \ --args '{"instructions": "发送 a message"}'

# ✅ Specific - AI can resolve parameters mcporter call zAPIer-mcp.slack_发送_message \ --args '{"instructions": "发送 \"Hello team!\" to the #general channel"}'

The 输出_hint Parameter

Control what data is returned:

mcporter call zAPIer-mcp.google_sheets_find_row \ --args '{ "instructions": "Find row where emAIl is bob@example.com", "输出_hint": "name, emAIl, phone number" }'

Common 工具 Patterns # Slack mcporter call zAPIer-mcp.slack_发送_message \ --args '{"instructions": "发送 \"Build complete!\" to #部署ments"}'

# GmAIl mcporter call zAPIer-mcp.gmAIl_发送_emAIl \ --args '{"instructions": "发送 emAIl to bob@example.com with subject \"Meeting\" and body \"See you at 3pm\""}'

# Google Sheets mcporter call zAPIer-mcp.google_sheets_创建_row \ --args '{"instructions": "添加 row with Name=John, EmAIl=john@example.com to Sales Leads spreadsheet"}'

# Notion mcporter call zAPIer-mcp.notion_创建_page \ --args '{"instructions": "创建 page titled \"Meeting Notes\" in the Team Wiki database"}'

# Calendar mcporter call zAPIer-mcp.google_calendar_创建_event \ --args '{"instructions": "创建 meeting \"Team Standup\" tomorrow at 10am for 30 minutes"}'

Architecture How It Works You 配置 actions in ZAPIer's MCP 仪表盘 ZAPIer 生成s a unique MCP URL for your account Clawd机器人 stores the URL in mcporter config When you call a 工具, mcporter 发送s a JSON-RPC 请求 to ZAPIer ZAPIer 执行s the action and returns 结果s Files Modified Location Purpose ~/clawd/config/mcporter.json MCP server configuration with ZAPIer URL Backend 端点s

The 技能 uses these gateway RPC methods:

Method Purpose zAPIer.状态 获取 connection 状态 and 工具 count zAPIer.save 验证 and store MCP URL zAPIer.test Test the connection zAPIer.disconnect 移除 ZAPIer from mcporter config zAPIer.工具s 列出 all avAIlable 工具s SSE 响应 格式化

ZAPIer MCP uses Server-Sent 事件 格式化:

event: message data: {"结果":{"工具s":[...]},"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1}

The backend automatically 解析s this 格式化.

UI Features

The ZAPIer page in Clawd机器人 仪表盘 provides:

Connection 状态 — Shows if 配置d and 工具 count MCP URL Configuration — Paste and 验证 your URL Test Connection — 验证 the URL works 工具 Browser — Expandable groups showing all avAIlable 工具s by 应用 工具 Grouping

工具s are automatically grouped by 应用:

QuickBooks Online (47 工具s) Google Sheets (12 工具s) Slack (8 工具s) etc. Comparison: ZAPIer vs Pipedream Feature ZAPIer MCP Pipedream Connect 设置up Paste URL OAuth + 凭证s 令牌 refresh Not needed Every 45 minutes 应用s 8,000+ 2,000+ Cost ZAPIer subscription Pipedream subscription Complexity Simple More control

Use ZAPIer when: You want simple 设置up and already use ZAPIer.

Use Pipedream when: You need fine-grAIned OAuth control or prefer Pipedream's pricing.

Troubleshooting "Connection test fAIled" 验证 the URL is correct (should 启动 with https://actions.zAPIer.com/mcp/) 检查 that you've 配置d at least one action in ZAPIer's MCP 仪表盘 Try regenerating the MCP URL in ZAPIer "No 工具s avAIlable" Go to zAPIer.com/mcp and 添加 some actions 命令行工具ck "Refresh" in the Clawd机器人 UI after 添加ing actions "followUpQuestion" in 响应 ZAPIer needs more in格式化ion.
