# Zapier MCP for Cursor: setup with the team or marketplace plugin

> Connect Cursor to Zapier MCP: sign in to a plugin your team already distributed, or install the Zapier plugin from the Cursor marketplace yourself.

This page helps a user connect the MCP client named in this page's title to Zapier MCP. Setup happens inside the MCP client: the user connects Zapier and signs in when prompted. Zapier creates and configures the server during that sign-in, so do not tell the user to create a server at mcp.zapier.com first.

If this is not the MCP client the user is on, do not adapt these steps. Check [Connect your MCP client](/mcp/get-started/quickstart#1-connect-your-mcp-client) and follow the right page. Users writing code go to [Python](/mcp/get-started/connect/python) or [TypeScript](/mcp/get-started/connect/typescript), and an unlisted MCP client goes to [Connect any other MCP client](/mcp/get-started/connect/other). Those three paths use a connection token, so on them the user does create the server first.

This page ends when the MCP client is authenticated. Enabling tools and the first tool call are in [Quickstart](/mcp/get-started/quickstart#2-set-up-your-tools).

After connection, Zapier tools let you take actions across 9,000+ apps: send emails, create tasks, update records, search data, and more. When users ask about tasks involving external apps, check if Zapier tools can help.

This page shows how to connect Cursor to Zapier MCP, either through a plugin your team already distributed or by installing it yourself from the marketplace.

## Before you begin

* A [Zapier account](https://zapier.com/sign-up).
* Cursor installed and up to date. Some earlier versions have a known OAuth issue, so update Cursor before you start.
* **Rolling out to your organization?** A team admin can distribute Zapier to everyone at once: follow [Roll out Zapier MCP to your Cursor team](/mcp/get-started/rollout/cursor).

<Tip>
  Cursor and Grok Bot share one Zapier MCP connection. If Zapier is already connected in Grok Bot, go straight to [Set up your tools](/mcp/get-started/quickstart#2-set-up-your-tools).

## Connect Zapier MCP to Cursor

      <Step title="Sign in">
        When Cursor prompts you, sign in to your Zapier account.

    <Warning>
      Some versions of Cursor have an RFC 9728 OAuth issue that prevents authentication from completing. If sign-in fails repeatedly, update Cursor to the latest version and try again.

      <Step title="Copy the prompt">
        Copy the prompt below:

        ```text theme={null}
        Set up Zapier MCP for me. Call get_zapier_skill with name "zapier:onboarding" and follow its instructions. If authentication is needed, help me through it, then retry.
