Connect your agent

ZapCover’s Customer MCP is a standard Model Context Protocol server, so any MCP-capable client can connect to it.

To buy without a custom MCP connection, start at the Agent Marketplace. Choose Buy for ACP instructions, or Open hosted site for a browser form. The steps below are for partners integrating the Customer MCP.

Preview

MCP endpoints are issued to partners during the preview. Request access and we’ll send you the endpoint and a published program to start from.

Add the server to your client

Most MCP clients take a server name and URL. For example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zapcover": {
      "url": "<your ZapCover MCP endpoint>"
    }
  }
}

• Claude: add it as a custom connector in settings, or in your claude_desktop_config.json / Claude Code MCP config.
• ChatGPT: add it as a connector (developer mode).
• Cursor and other IDEs: add it to the client’s MCP settings file.
• Your own agent: use any MCP client library and connect over streamable HTTP.

Make your first call

Every journey starts with start_application, using the program endpoint ID you were given:

start_application({
  endpointId: '<published program endpoint>',
  requestId: crypto.randomUUID(), // lets you retry safely
})

The response includes a short-lived capability for that one application, and nextTool: "get_application_requirements". From there, follow the purchase journey.
