Connect Windsurf to Zapier MCP

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

Zapier MCP connects to Windsurf through your MCP configuration file. Add the Zapier connect URL and authenticate with your Zapier account.

Before you begin

• A Zapier account.
• Windsurf installed and up to date.

Connect Zapier MCP to Windsurf

1. Open your MCP config

   Open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.

2. Add the Zapier server

   Add the following snippet:

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

   Authenticate with your Zapier account.

4. Finish setup

   In Windsurf, open 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 Windsurf:

   What Zapier tools do you have available?
   

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

Try it out

After setup, ask Windsurf 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]“
