# Connect Amazon SNS and Square

When **New JSON Message** fires in [Amazon SNS](https://apiant.ai/connections/amazon-sns), your agent runs **Add order** in [Square](https://apiant.ai/connections/square), or **New order** in Square to **Create JSON Message** in Amazon SNS. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

Amazon SNS **3** triggers Amazon SNS **3** actions Square **3** triggers Square **19** actions

What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.

## What do you want Amazon SNS and Square 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.

### Any other MCP client

Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.
