You can add or remove tools — actions within apps — to any of your MCP servers through your Zapier MCP account. Learn how to set up an MCP server.

miscBoltAlt icon Beta

This product is in open beta. It’s available for use but still in active development and may change.

Edit a tool

To edit an existing tool:

  • From the Zapier MCP home, select your MCP server. The Configure tab will open.
  • In the list of tools, click the three dot icon in the tool you want to edit.
  • Click Configure. A dialog box will open.
  • When you finish editing your fields, click:
    • Save to confirm your changes.
    • Cancel to discard changes.

Decide how the AI will use a field

When you set up a tool for your MCP server, each field will have one or more options depending on the field type:

  • Have AI select/generate a value for this field: the AI will decide the correct value for the field based on the conversation.
  • Let AI select a value from one of these choices: the AI will select one of the options among the values you select.
  • Set a specific value for this field: set a specific value for the field. The AI will always use the same value.
  • Use default: uses the default value for the field.

By default, Zapier only displays required fields. To view and use optional fields, click Show all options at the bottom of the dialog box. 

Delete a tool

To delete an existing tool:

  • From the Zapier MCP home, select your MCP server. The Configure tab will open.
  • In the list of tools, click the three dot icon in the tool you want to edit. A dropdown menu will open.
  • Click Remove from server. A dialog box will open.
  • Confirm by clicking Delete.
miscEye icon Note
  • Tools are specific to a server. To remove the same app from all servers, repeat the process in each MCP server.
  • If you delete an action, its logs will also be deleted. Tool calls consumed for a deleted action will still count toward your quota.  

Review your tool's history

You can review all actions that were performed using a specific tool. 

  • From the MCP home, select your MCP server. The Configure tab will open.
  • In the list of tools, click the three dot icon in the tool you want to edit. A dropdown menu will open.
  • Click History. You’ll be redirected to the Tool usage history page.

This page displays a filtered list of the actions taken using that tool for that specific server. Select an action to see details such as: 

  • Date and time when the action happened.
  • The tool name.
  • Instructions used by the AI.
  • The values used in each field.
  • The final output of the action.

Tool usage

Usage in Zapier MCP is measured in tool calls—one tool call is used every time your server takes action using a tool. You can see the current usage in your account's left sidebar.

You can see your quota usage and options for additional tool calls by logging into your Zapier MCP account.
