# Zapier

Zapier's **MCP Client** integration consumes external MCP servers. Add Cakewalk's gateway as an MCP Client connection on your Zapier Apps page. The connection appears in the Zap editor for any Zap that adds an MCP Client step.

## Install Method

Custom form on the Zapier Apps page. The connection is per Zapier account.

## Step 1: Open the Apps Page

1. Open <https://zapier.com> and sign in.
2. Open the **Apps** page.

## Step 2: Add an MCP Client Connection

1. Click **+ Add connection**.
2. Search for and select **MCP Client**.
3. Click **Add connection**.

A **Connect an Account** page opens in a new browser tab.

## Step 3: Configure the Cakewalk Gateway

On the Connect an Account page, fill in (Zapier field labels may differ slightly from those below):

* Server URL: `https://mcp-gateway.getcakewalk.io/mcp`
* Transport: select the Streamable HTTP option (Zapier may label this as Streamable HTTP or HTTP Streamable depending on the page version).
* OAuth: select the option that indicates the server requires OAuth.

Leave the Bearer Token field empty if present. Cakewalk's gateway uses OAuth, not bearer tokens.

Click the continue button (labeled **Yes, Continue to MCP Client** per Zapier's current docs).

## Step 4: Authenticate

A new browser tab opens for the Cakewalk OAuth flow. Sign in with your Cakewalk account and approve the Connection. Zapier stores the credentials on the connection.

## Verifying It Works

In a Zap, add an **MCP Client** action step and pick your Cakewalk connection. The action's tool dropdown lists the tools the Cakewalk gateway exposes. In Cakewalk, the Zapier card on **My Agents** flips to **Connected** after the first agent call.

If the connection does not appear in the Zap editor immediately after authentication, refresh the page.

## Troubleshooting

* **MCP Client connection does not appear in the Zap editor:** refresh the Zap editor page after authentication completes.
* **OAuth flow returns to an error page:** copy the full callback URL from your browser's address bar and paste it back into the prompt at zapier.com.
