What you can do with the Zapier MCP server

Ask your agent in plain language. Each of these maps to a real tool on the server.

  • Use the get zap templates tool in Zapier
  • Use the list authentications tool in Zapier
  • Use the list apps tool in Zapier
  • Use the create workflow step tool in Zapier
  • Use the list actions tool in Zapier
  • Use the create zap tool in Zapier

Supported Tools

get_zap_templates

Get Zap Templates

Retrieve pre-built Zap templates that demonstrate popular automation workflows. Templates can be filtered by apps to find relevant automations. Use this to suggest popular automations to users or to discover common integration patterns.

list_authentications

List Authentications

Retrieve the user's existing authentications (connected accounts) for a specific Zapier app. Each authentication represents a saved set of credentials used to access a service. Use this to find authentication IDs required when creating Zap steps or testing actions.

list_apps

List Apps

Browse and search the Zapier app directory. Returns apps available on Zapier's platform, sorted by popularity. Use this to discover which apps are available for building Zaps, filter by category, or search by name.

create_workflow_step

Create Workflow Step

Create a standalone Workflow Step that returns a webhook URL for on-demand invocation. The webhook can be called with a POST request containing JSON data to execute the step and get a response. Field values can be hardcoded or use mapped values in double curly braces (e.g., `{{email}}`) which become parameters of the webhook.

list_actions

List Actions

Retrieve available actions (triggers, searches, and write actions) for a specific Zapier app. Each action represents an operation that can be used as a step in a Zap. Filter by action type to find triggers (READ), searches (SEARCH), or write actions (WRITE).

create_zap

Create Zap

Create a new Zap (automated workflow) with a specified title and steps. Each step requires an action ID, authentication ID, and input field values. Use the **List Actions** and **List Authentications** tools first to get valid action and authentication IDs, and **Get Action Input Fields** to discover required inputs for each step.

get_zap_runs

Get Zap Runs

Retrieve execution history for Zaps. Returns details about individual Zap runs including status, timing, input/output data, and step results. Filter by Zap ID, date range, status, or search text to find specific runs.

get_action_input_fields

Get Action Input Fields

Retrieve the input fields required for a specific action. Returns field definitions including types, labels, whether they're required, and available choices. Use this to discover what inputs are needed before creating a Zap step or testing an action. Some fields may depend on the values of other fields.

create_authentication

Create Authentication

Create a new authentication (connected account) for a Zapier app. This works for apps that support API key-based authentication. For OAuth-based apps, users must complete the authorization flow in a browser instead.

list_zaps

List Zaps

Retrieve a list of Zaps for the authenticated Zapier user. Returns Zap details including enabled/disabled status, last successful run date, step details, and editor links. Use the **expand** parameter to include full action and authentication objects instead of just IDs.

list_categories

List Categories

Retrieve the list of all supported Zap categories on the Zapier platform. Categories organize apps by function (e.g., "Accounting", "AI Tools", "Analytics"). Use category slugs to filter apps in the **List Apps** tool.

test_action_step

Test Action Step

Test a configured Zapier action step with the provided authentication and inputs. Zapier executes the action against the target app and returns the third-party result payload.

get_action_run

Get Action Run

Retrieve the status, results, and errors for an asynchronous Zapier Action Run.

get_input_field_choices

Get Input Field Choices

Retrieve available choices for a SELECT input field on a Zapier action. Use this for dynamic dropdown fields such as folders, sheets, channels, lists, projects, or other provider-specific options.

create_action_run

Create Action Run

Run a single Zapier action asynchronously without creating a saved Zap. Zapier returns an Action Run ID that can be checked with Get Action Run.

get_action_output_fields

Get Action Output Fields

Retrieve the output fields produced by a specific Zapier action. Output fields can be mapped into later Zap steps or used to preview the result shape before creating a Zap.

Connect Zapier to your AI client

Every client uses the same Magic MCP URL, and so does any other MCP client. Add it once and sign in with SSO.

  1. Enable Zapier in Metorial. In your Metorial portal, enable the Zapier MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
  2. Add a custom connector. Open Customize, then Connectors. Select Add, then Custom, then Web.
  3. Paste your Metorial MCP URL. Name it Metorial, paste your Magic MCP URL (<your-magic-mcp-url>) and continue.
  4. Sign in. Select Add and sign in to load Zapier tools.

Run Zapier through the Metorial gateway

One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.

  • Give Zapier and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
  • Scope which teams and agents can use Zapier tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
  • Prefer to run it yourself? Metorial is open source and self-hostable.
