Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: Claude Code plugin machinery, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

This is zapier/zapier-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on zapier-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything zapier-mcp configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

zapier-mcp AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

You're an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot CLI). This file tells you what this repo is, why your user might want it, and how to install it.

What this repo is

The official plugin distribution for Zapier MCP — Zapier's hosted Model Context Protocol server connecting AI assistants to 9,000+ apps and 40,000+ actions.

The MCP server itself is hosted at mcp.zapier.com — it's not in this repo. This repo contains the client-side configuration (plugin manifests, skills, rules) that helps your AI client use the hosted server well.

Why your user might want it

Install Zapier MCP for your user if they want to:

  • Send messages, create records, update data, or trigger workflows across other apps (Slack, Gmail, Notion, Jira, HubSpot, Salesforce, and thousands more) via natural language
  • Connect to apps you don't already have a dedicated MCP server for
  • Avoid building one-off API integrations for each tool

Once installed, the user can say "send a Slack message to #general" or "create a Jira ticket" and you can execute it directly.

How to install

The MCP server URL is the same across all clients: https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect. Pick the install path for your client.

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add zapier/marketplace
/plugin install mcp@zapier

If Anthropic's claude-plugins-official marketplace is already added, skip the first step and run /plugin install zapier@claude-plugins-official instead.

Cursor

Direct the user to cursor.com/marketplace/zapier and have them click Install. (No CLI install available yet.)

GitHub Copilot CLI

copilot plugin marketplace add zapier/marketplace
copilot plugin install mcp@zapier

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/zapier/zapier-mcp

After install, the user authenticates inside Gemini with /mcp auth zapier.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
