Is the Install Zapier skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from zapier/gtm-cheat-codes. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Install Zapier SkillProof Score?

8.0/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 5/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Install Zapier?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Install Zapier with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 8.0/10
Tested: Jul 31, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 711bca7

Fetched SKILL.md, README, metadata.yaml, INSTALL-PATHS.md via raw GitHub; all body-referenced files resolve HTTP 200 (INSTALL-PATHS.md, docs/zapier-mcp-sdk-patterns.md, templates/install-template.md) and both npm packages (@zapier/zapier-sdk, @zapier/zapier-sdk-cli) return 200. Cloned into a temp HOME and copied to ~/.claude/skills; frontmatter parsed clean with name + 333-char description, no hardcoded machine paths, no security smells (skill actually enforces "never paste keys in chat"). OUTPUT test for "install Zapier so Claude can draft from Gmail": baseline reply gave generic "set up an MCP server, connect Gmail" with no surface routing, no exact URL, no tool scoping, no verify; skill-followed reply routed AI-client->MCP, gave the mcp.zapier.com 5-step flow, scoped to only the Gmail-draft tool (least privilege), and added a read-only verify step plus human-approval guardrail — concrete adds baseline lacked. Category corrected from coding to productivity (install/onboarding router, not code authoring).

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

Installs cleanly 5/5
Triggers reliably 5/5
Output vs. baseline 5/10
Docs & honesty 5/5

What Install Zapier does

A front-door router skill that decides whether a person needs Zapier MCP, the SDK, or the CLI, then walks them through install, auth, and a verify step one step at a time. Triggers when someone says "install Zapier", "connect Zapier", or "set up Zapier", or wants an AI client (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) to use their apps, call Zapier from code, or drive Zapier from the terminal. Adds least-privilege and human-approval guardrails to the setup.

How to install Install Zapier

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/zapier/gtm-cheat-codes.git /tmp/install-zapier-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/install-zapier-src/skills/install-zapier ~/.claude/skills/install-zapier
# No deps to install the skill itself. The install PATHS it teaches need Node/npm:
#   Zapier SDK:  npm install @zapier/zapier-sdk  (verified present on npm)
#   Zapier CLI:  npm install -g @zapier/zapier-sdk-cli  (verified present on npm)
#   Zapier MCP:  no code; set up a server at https://mcp.zapier.com
# After install, tell your agent: "install Zapier"

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
