Zapier MCP in Claude Chat: From Zero to Working Setup | Build Along Workshop
From the video description
Ready to move beyond simple chatting and start letting AI take action? In this live workshop replay, Emily Mabie (Sr. AI Automation Engineer at Zapier) breaks down the "WTF is MCP?" mystery and walks you through a step-by-step build to connect Claude to the apps you use every day. Using the metaphor of a computer's USB port, Emily demonstrates how Model Context Protocol (MCP) acts as the bridge that allows Claude to "plug in" to your Google Drive, Slack, Calendar, and more. You’ll watch a live setup of a workflow that finds meeting transcripts, summarizes to-dos, coordinates with colleagues in Slack, and schedules follow-up meetings—all without leaving the Claude chat interface.
