# Connect Algolia and Swiftype

When **Browse Records** fires in [Algolia](https://apiant.ai/connections/algolia), your agent runs **Create Document** in [Swiftype](https://apiant.ai/connections/swiftype), or **New Document** in Swiftype to **Add or Replace Record** in Algolia. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

## What do you want Algolia and Swiftype to do together?

Give your AI client this address.

`https://mcp.apiant.ai`

One connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.

### Set it up in your client

### Claude Code

Run this in the directory you want to work in.

`claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai`

Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.
