Is the Zapier Demo skill free?

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

What is the Zapier Demo SkillProof Score?

7.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 5/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install Zapier Demo?

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 Zapier Demo 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: 7.6/10
Tested: Jul 21, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 1bda485

Located SKILL.md at plugins/zapier/skills/zapier-demo/SKILL.md (HTTP 200); frontmatter parses with valid name+description and no hardcoded paths or security smells. Verified the skill's core external mechanism: fetched zapier.com/apps/google-calendar.md, slack.md, and notion.md (all HTTP 200 with real trigger/action data), and confirmed a deliberately-wrong slug (googlecalendar.md) returns 404 exactly as the skill's gotcha claims. For output I ran the recommendation sub-task (user picks Notion): baseline guesses action "Find Page" from memory, while the skill's marketing-page fetch yields the exact canonical name "Find Page (By Title)" plus support-confirmation — a real but partial improvement. Could not run the headline live-demo loop (Steps 4-5) because it requires a connected Zapier MCP server plus mcp.zapier.com action-enable and OAuth, so outputMeasured is false and verdict is setup.

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 4/5

What Zapier Demo does

A guided onboarding skill that walks a new Zapier MCP user through enabling one read-only action for an app they pick and running it live in the same chat. It fetches the app's zapier.com/apps/{slug}.md page to confirm support and recommend a starter action, then points the user to mcp.zapier.com to enable it. Triggers on requests like "show me how Zapier works", "set up my first action", "give me a quick demo", or "hello world".

How to install Zapier Demo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/zapier/zapier-mcp.git /tmp/zapier-demo-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/zapier-demo-src/plugins/zapier/skills/zapier-demo ~/.claude/skills/zapier-demo
# Requires the Zapier MCP server connected to your client to complete the live demo:
#   MCP endpoint (from plugins/zapier/.mcp.json): https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect (type: http)
# You must also visit https://mcp.zapier.com to enable the recommended action and OAuth-connect the app.
# Plugin-marketplace alternative: install the whole "zapier" plugin from plugins/zapier/ (bundles 4 skills + the MCP server config).

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