Connect Kiro to Zapier MCP

Add Zapier MCP to your Kiro configuration and authenticate over OAuth.

Zapier MCP connects to Kiro through your user MCP configuration. Add the Zapier connect URL to the config file and authenticate when prompted.

Before you begin

• A Zapier account.
• Kiro installed.

Connect Zapier MCP to Kiro

1. Open your MCP config

   Open the command palette and search for Kiro: Open user MCP config.

2. Add the Zapier server

   Add the following snippet:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "Zapier": {
         "url": "https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect"
       }
     }
   }
   
3. Save and authenticate

   Save the file and authenticate with your Zapier account when prompted.

4. Finish setup

   In Kiro, start a new chat and ask:

   Run the Zapier onboarding skill using get_zapier_skill with name "zapier:onboarding" and follow its instructions.
   
5. Verify the connection

   Ask Kiro:

   What Zapier tools do you have available?
   

   Kiro should list the Zapier MCP tools. If tools do not appear, check Troubleshooting.

Try it out

After setup, ask Kiro to do something with your connected apps:

• “Find my last 5 emails and summarize them”
• “What meetings do I have tomorrow?”
• “Create a task in [app] to follow up with [name]”
• “Send a Slack message to [channel] about [topic]“
