One command adds Zaprep to Claude Code. Use it to bulk-create rules for a client, audit dozens of automations at once or pull lead exports into a script.
Read clients.csv and create a LINK automation on each client account’s pinned reel, using the URL in the csv.
✓ list_accounts✓ resolve_post✓ create_automationFound 4 connected accounts that match rows in clients.csv.
Created 4 automations, one per account, each scoped to its pinned reel with the link from the csv, all saved paused. Two links were not https, so I fixed them first.
Summary written to automations-created.md.
Example conversation. Real tool names.
Coding agent setup

Zaprep MCP server URL
https://www.zaprep.com/api/mcpRun the command below in your terminal. Add --scope user to make Zaprep available in every project.
Start Claude Code, type /mcp, pick zaprep and choose Authenticate. Your browser opens Zaprep to approve access.
For CI or headless runs, create a key in Zaprep under Settings, then API keys, and pass it as a header instead.
Claude Code now lists the Zaprep tools and can use them alongside your files and shell.

Sign-in
Claude Code supports both. OAuth is quicker on your own machine.
| OAuth Claude Code | API key Claude Code | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Paste the URL, sign in to Zaprep | Create a key in Settings, then API keys |
| Best for | Chat apps and editors on your own machine | CLIs, CI, servers and workflow tools |
| Credentials stored | Short-lived tokens, refreshed automatically | One zap_ key you keep secret |
| Revoke | Disconnect it in Settings, then AI tools | Delete it in Settings, then API keys |
Limits
Channels
One connection covers every account in your Zaprep workspace.
Same server
One MCP URL, any client that speaks the Model Context Protocol.
Using something else? See the general MCP setup.
Use OAuth on your own machine, it is one click. Use an API key for CI, servers or anywhere a browser cannot open.
In the Zaprep dashboard under Settings, then API keys. The key starts with zap_ and is shown once, so store it somewhere safe.
Yes. The default scope adds it to the current project only. Use --scope user to add it everywhere.
Yes. Zaprep runs its own remote MCP server at https://www.zaprep.com/api/mcp. No Zapier or other middleman is involved.
Yes. MCP access is included on every Zaprep plan, Free included. Your plan’s usual limits on automations and DMs still apply.
To run automations, yes: connect an Instagram professional account or a Facebook Page in Zaprep first. Without one the AI can only read your Zaprep settings.
Instagram professional accounts and Facebook Pages today. TikTok and YouTube are coming next.
New automations an AI creates are saved paused, so nothing sends until you or the AI turns it on after you confirm. Edits to an automation that is already on apply right away, and most AI apps ask before running a change. You can disconnect any AI app in Zaprep under Settings, then AI tools.
Yes. Once connected, the AI can list and export the contacts your automations collected, including emails. Only connect AI apps you trust, and disconnect any you stop using.
Open Settings, then AI tools in Zaprep and choose Disconnect next to the app. It is signed out right away. For an API key, delete it under Settings, then API keys.
Last updated . Menu names in other apps change often; the official docs link above has the latest.
Free plan, no card. Connect Instagram or a Facebook Page, then add Zaprep to your AI tool.
