Install Zaps for agents
The server’s own address, for the clients that take one directly. Or connect ahel once and every client you use reads it from one address, with the account kept on ahel rather than in each client’s config.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user zaps-for-agents 'https://api.zaps.design/mcp'Run it once in your project, then open /mcp to approve any sign-in the server asks for.
Claude Desktop
https://api.zaps.design/mcpAdd a custom connector in Settings, paste this address, and approve the sign-in.
Cursor
cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=zaps-for-agents&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FwaS56YXBzLmRlc2lnbi9tY3AifQ==Open the link and Cursor adds the server at that address.
ChatGPT
https://api.zaps.design/mcpIn Settings, enable Developer mode, create an MCP app, and paste this address. Your plan and workspace must allow custom apps.
Codex
codex mcp add zaps-for-agents --url 'https://api.zaps.design/mcp'Run it once, then sign in with codex mcp login zaps-for-agents if the server asks for an account.
From the project's README
As published by turnip-agentic/zaps-agent in README.md.
Turn someone's photos into finished social-media designs (stories, carousels, reel covers, invites) from any AI agent. Give it photos and a brief, and Zaps picks matching templates, places the photos and the words, and returns finished images with a link to keep editing each one in the Zaps editor.
- No key, no signup to start. Searching and the first design are free with no account.
- Signing in is a browser click. When a call needs an account, your client opens a Zaps sign-in page (OAuth). After that it stays signed in.
- One hosted server:
https://api.zaps.design/mcp(MCP, Streamable HTTP).
