# Connect Attio to Dex

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

## What do you want Attio and Dex 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.

###

### Can it also run from Dex to Attio?

Dex has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Attio. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Dex's API documentation and adds it.

###

###

### Can my AI client use Attio and Dex 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?
