Connect Agent Builder to 8,000+ tools

The Core: In this tutorial, you will learn how to connect OpenAI's Agent Builder to over 8,000 apps using Zapier MCP, enabling you to build powerful automations like creating Google Forms directly through AI agents.

Step-by-step:

Go to platform.openai.com/agent-builder, click Create, and configure your agent with instructions like: "You are a helpful assistant that helps me create a Google Form to gather feedback on our weekly workshops." Then select MCP Server → Third-Party Servers → Zapier

- Visit mcp.zapier.com/mcpservers, click "New MCP Server," choose OpenAI as the client, name your server, and add apps needed (like Google Forms)

- Copy your OpenAI Secret API Key from Zapier MCP's Connect section and paste it into Agent Builder's connection field, then click Connect and select "No Approval Required"

- Verify your OpenAI organization, then click Preview and test with: "Create a Google Form with three questions to gather feedback on our weekly university workshops." Once confirmed working, click Publish and name your automation

Pro tip: Experiment with different Zapier tools to expand your automation capabilities. Each new integration adds potential for custom workflows and more advanced tasks.
