Install and connect Zapier, routing to the right surface (MCP, SDK, or CLI) for what the person needs.
Use when someone says "install Zapier", "add Zapier", "connect Zapier", or "set up Zapier", or when they want an AI client (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) to use their apps, want to call Zapier from code, or want Zapier in the terminal.

Install Zapier
Use this skill when a person says "install Zapier" and may not know which Zapier surface they need. Do not make them pick a product. Ask what they want to do, then walk them through the right path one step at a time.
Step 1: Find The Right Path
Ask one or two plain questions, then map the answer.
What they want
Path
Why
Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor to use their apps now
Zapier MCP
Connect tools to an AI client, no code
To build an app or agent in code
Zapier SDK
Call Zapier as a library: code, state, retries, schedules
To drive Zapier from the terminal
Zapier CLI
Standalone global install; bundles the SDK
Not sure
Start with Zapier MCP
Fastest path to a working agent
The SDK and CLI are separate installs. Pick the SDK for a code project, the CLI for terminal-only work. If they want an AI client now and durable workflows later, set up MCP first, then the SDK.
App Connectors
These three paths are how a person installs Zapier itself. Individual app connectors are a separate thing: per-app integration skills (for example Notion) that a person installs when they need a specific app. Point them to those only after the core install, and only for the app they named. See the note at the end of INSTALL-PATHS.md.
Step 2: Walk The Chosen Path
Open INSTALL-PATHS.md and follow the section for the chosen path. Do one step at a time. Confirm each step worked before moving to the next.
Step 3: Verify
Run the verify check at the end of the chosen path section before telling the person they are done. Confirm the connection works with a read-only or draft-only action first.
Guardrails
Never have the person paste API keys or tokens into chat. Use the auth flows linked in each path.
Use least-privilege. Add only the tools the person actually needs.
Keep human approval before any send, post, CRM write, or publish.
