How to Use the Zapier MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Build live data feeds into your UI with Vercel AI SDK.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Zapier MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Zapier to Vercel AI SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Check a Zap's full configuration.
Use the `get_zap` tool to fetch all settings for a specific workflow. You get the current operational details, including which apps are connected and what triggers it uses. This lets your user's UI display exactly how a workflow is built before they run it. Developers can show users the full structure by calling `get_zap`.
See all active third-party app connections.
The `list_apps` tool shows every service attached to the Zapier account, like Slack or Gmail. Your agent can present this list in real time as the user views their integrations. This mechanism lets you confirm if necessary services are available for automation before building a new workflow.
Search pre-built workflow templates.
Need an idea? Call `search_templates` with a query like 'Slack to Trello'. This tool immediately pulls up matching, ready-to-use workflows from the Zapier directory. You can display these results live in your app's frontend. The user sees the template options pop up right as they type their search terms.
