You choose which actions an agent may use, such as creating a CRM contact or adding a spreadsheet row. inference.eu agents connect to it with OAuth or a connection token over Streamable HTTP.

Many teams already have their app accounts linked to Zapier. Zapier MCP makes those connections available to AI agents. Its endpoint is `https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect`, reached over Streamable HTTP and authenticated with OAuth or a connection token. Rather than exposing every app at once, you add specific actions to an MCP server in Zapier, and only those actions appear as tools. This keeps the agent's options narrow and predictable. ## What agents can do with Zapier Zapier is useful when the app you need has no MCP server of its own. A sales agent can add a lead to a niche CRM, a support agent can create a ticket in a help desk tool, and an office agent can add an entry to a shared calendar or a row to a spreadsheet. Teams can also combine actions: an agent reads an enquiry, looks up the customer through a search action, then creates a task in a project tool and posts a note to the team channel. ## Setup and authentication In Zapier, create an MCP server, connect the app accounts the agent should use, and add the actions it may run. For each action, decide which fields the agent fills and which are fixed. Then add the Zapier connector on inference.eu and connect with OAuth or paste the connection token. Credentials are stored encrypted in the EU and used only by the agents you allow. You can remove actions or revoke the connection in Zapier at any time; the app passwords and keys stay inside Zapier. ## Data protection and where the data goes When an agent runs an action, Zapier, a US company, carries out the call to the target app, as it does for your Zaps. Data passes through Zapier and then goes to that app's API, so check where both handle it. On inference.eu, the model that chooses actions and reads results runs in EU data centres, and your Zapier credentials are stored encrypted in the EU. Add only the actions an agent needs, and prefer fixed values for fields such as recipients, so personal data does not go where you did not intend. ## Approvals and safe use Each Zapier action does something real in another app: it sends a message, creates a record or changes a file. Because one connector can reach many apps, a careless set-up can give an agent more reach than intended. On inference.eu you can let search actions run on their own and require a person's approval before any action that writes, sends or deletes. The approval shows the action and the values the agent filled in. Fixed fields in Zapier add a second layer, so an agent cannot change a recipient or a target folder. ## Zapier Vendor Zapier, Inc. Vendor based in United States Category Automation Authentication OAuth Transport Remote (HTTP) Server [Official server](https://docs.zapier.com/mcp/get-started/connect) Documentation [docs.zapier.com](https://docs.zapier.com/mcp/get-started/connect) ## Zapier: common questions The questions buyers, developers and legal teams ask us most. Something missing? Ask us directly. Yes. Zapier runs Zapier MCP, reached at https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect over Streamable HTTP. It supports OAuth and connection tokens, and is documented at docs.zapier.com/mcp. It exposes actions you choose from more than 9,000 apps. It runs the actions you add to it, such as creating records, sending messages, adding spreadsheet rows or searching for contacts, in the apps you have connected to Zapier. Only actions you have added appear as tools for the agent. Create an MCP server in Zapier, connect your app accounts and add the actions the agent may use. Then add the Zapier connector on inference.eu and connect with OAuth or a connection token, stored encrypted in the EU. Yes. You pick individual actions rather than whole apps, and for each field you decide whether the agent fills it, it has a fixed value or it is left out. On inference.eu you can also require approval for each action. Use a direct MCP server when the vendor offers one, because it usually has richer tools. Zapier is a good choice for apps without their own MCP server, or when your team already has the app accounts linked in Zapier. No. App accounts are connected inside Zapier and their credentials stay there. The agent only sees the actions, their fields and their results. inference.eu stores the Zapier connection credentials encrypted in the EU. Zapier MCP exposes single app actions from a hosted catalogue. n8n exposes whole workflows that you build and can run on your own servers. Both work with inference.eu agents, and some teams use n8n for in-house processes and Zapier for quick app actions. Zapier processes the action and sends the data to the target app's API, as it does for your Zaps. The model on inference.eu that chooses the action runs in EU data centres, and your credentials are stored encrypted in the EU.
