Build a Zapier AI cursor agent to read, search for and send Gmail messages using the model’s context protocol server (MCP)

In this tutorial, we will learn to exploit the power of the model context protocol (MCP) alongside Zapier ai To build a reactive messaging agent directly on CursorNo complex coding required. We are going to browse the configuration of MCP connectors for a cursor and zapier ai bridge, connecting your Gmail account, defining reading, research and sending intentions of messages and training the agent to recognize and act on your commands via the unified MCP interface. At the end of this guide, you will have a fully functional MCP cursor agent that can automatically write answers, recover important threads and send emails in your name, rationalizing your daily communication so that you can focus on what really matters.

Step 1: Download and install the Cursor app to your desktop.

Step 2: Create a zapier account and search for “connect MCP” to the cursor. The first link will bring you to the piece illustrated in the image below. Copy the code in the extract, as we will use it on the cursor to connect Zapier to the cursor.

Step 3: Go to the left pane on the cursor and click MCP.

Step 4: Then click Add a new global MCP server.

Step 5: Add the copied code of the Zapier site and save the file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Zapier MCP": {
      "url": "Add your URL here"
    }
  }
}

Code example

Step 6: Now go to my actions on the Zapier action page and click Modify MCP actions.

Step 7: Add the action you want your MCP server to work here.

Step 8: Select the options from the drop -down menu to add the action and provide the authorizations for these actions by giving access to the Google account.

Step 9: Refresh your MCP server on the cursor to see the actions added on Zapier that your agent can perform.

Step 10: Finally, type the cursor in the cat, whatever action you want your MCP server to work from those added. In our case, we sent an email.

In conclusion, by integrating MCP into your Zapier AI and Cursor configuration, you have created a messaging agent who speaks the same protocol language to all services, ensuring reliable and evolving automation. With your agent powered by MCP in place, you will benefit from greater efficiency, faster response time and transparent communication, all without lifting a finger. Continue to refine your MCP triggers and zapier workflows to adapt to evolving needs, and look at your email management will become smarter, more coherent and entirely aimless.
