Zapier MCP is the easiest route on this list: add it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another MCP client, choose your apps, and the agent can act in them. It draws on Zapier's directory of 9,000+ apps and 66,000+ triggers and actions, and rather than making you pick every tool up front, the agent searches for the right action from your goal. When no standard action fits, Zapier says it writes and runs code to reach an internal API or reshape data. Auth and permissions come from your Zapier account, and useful workflows can be saved as Skills or deployed as Zaps. Zapier MCP is included in every plan, and each tool call uses two tasks from the shared pool, so the free plan's 100 tasks covers about 50 calls. Professional starts at $19.99 a month. The limit for developers is scope: it is designed around your own connected accounts, with an embed option and SDK, rather than a full multi-tenant auth layer for your customers.
