# Connect Amazon SNS and Xero

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

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 Xero 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.

### Claude, web and desktop

Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first.

### Zed

Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp)

### Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app

Open Settings, then MCP servers, then Add server, and choose Streamable HTTP. From the terminal, Codex takes the address with its own add command and then signs you in.

### 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.

Questions

## Amazon SNS and Xero, answered

###

### What can start an automation from Amazon SNS?

Any of Amazon SNS's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New JSON Message, New Message and New Topic. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

###

### What can your agent do in Xero when something happens in Amazon SNS?

Any of Xero's 26 actions, including Create bank transaction, Create bill, Create or update contact and Create payment. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from Xero to Amazon SNS?

Yes. When something happens in Xero, your agent can act in Amazon SNS too. This page covers both directions: Xero's triggers and Amazon SNS's actions are listed here as well.

###

### Do I have to build a connector for Amazon SNS or Xero?

No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.

###

### Can my AI client use Amazon SNS and Xero without building an automation?

Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both.

###

### What happens when something fails?

Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Is there a free plan?

Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
