zapier — Claude Code plugin: what it does, how to install
Plugin connects Claude Code to 9,000 apps via Zapier: Gmail, Slack, Google Calendar, Notion, Jira, HubSpot, Linear. Agent executes actions in them from a text command.
/plugin install zapier@claude-plugins-official
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
/plugin install zapier@claude-community
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-officialWhat zapier does
Inside: guided onboarding (onboard zapier), live demo of one action (show me how Zapier works), real-life workflow builder (set up my Zapier toolkit), and health check (zapier status). Agent picks the right tool from context.
You can draft a Gmail reply, find a free slot and book a meeting in Google Calendar, send a Slack message to a channel, add a row to Google Sheets, create a Jira or Linear issue, save notes to Notion, log a conversation in a HubSpot contact. All from a conversation with the agent.
Install from the official or community marketplace; both require two commands — add the marketplace first, then install the plugin. Without a connected Zapier MCP server the plugin won't work: run onboard zapier to set it up.
What it helps with
- connect the agent to Gmail, Slack, Google Calendar, Notion, Jira, Linear and 9,000 other apps
- send an email, book a meeting, create a task or post a message from a text command
- build a working action set shaped around your workflow without manual per-action setup
- check what's configured, find duplicates and conflicts
Example prompts for the agent
- Draft a Gmail reply to [email protected] confirming Friday's 2pm meeting
- Find 30 minutes I'm free tomorrow afternoon and book a Google Calendar event with the team
- Send a Slack message in #launches: release shipped, monitoring now

# Zapier MCP Plugin
[Zapier MCP](https://docs.zapier.com/mcp/home) is how your AI talks to the apps you already live in. 9,000+ of them, 40,000+ actions, all triggered by a sentence. This plugin makes it effortless to get there: a guided onboard, real-life use cases that show you what's worth automating, and the shortest path from "I wish my AI could do that" to it actually happening.
## Get started
1. **Install the plugin.** Pick your AI client at [docs.zapier.com/mcp/clients](https://docs.zapier.com/mcp/clients). We've got a setup guide for each one.
2. **Onboard.** Tell your AI **"onboard zapier"** and we'll take it from there.

## Tips
- **Try one action before configuring a whole toolkit.** A few minutes seeing Zapier work beats reading a feature list. The demo is built for exactly that.
- **Re-run `"zapier status"` every once in a while.** Catches duplicates, low-value actions, and conflicts as your setup grows.
