Connect OpenClaw to Zapier MCP

Set up Zapier MCP in OpenClaw by pasting a prompt into your chat.

Zapier MCP connects to OpenClaw with a prompt. Paste it into a new conversation and OpenClaw installs mcporter, adds the Zapier server, and runs the onboarding Skill for you.

Before you begin

• A Zapier account.
• Access to OpenClaw.
