Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want AWS DynamoDB and capture 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 Code guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp/claude-code) ### 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. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Cursor Add the address to your MCP configuration as a server URL. Cursor signs you in in your browser. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### 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. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### 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.

Describe the flow you need, at any depth, and your agent builds it and tests every scenario before it ships. Everything your agent can do with AWS DynamoDB and capture ## Triggers and actions 3 triggers · 7 actions - Trigger **New Item** Triggers when a new item is added to a DynamoDB table. Best suited to tables of up to a few thousand items, since each check reads the table. - Trigger **New Table** Triggers when a new DynamoDB table is created in the connected region. - Action **Create or Replace Item** Adds an item to a DynamoDB table, replacing any item with the same key. - Action **Delete Item** Deletes an item from a DynamoDB table by its key and returns what it held. - Action **Find Items** Finds items in a DynamoDB table that share a partition key, optionally narrowed to an exact sort key. - Action **Get Item** Returns one item from a DynamoDB table by its key. - Action **Run PartiQL Statement** Runs a PartiQL (SQL-compatible) statement against DynamoDB and returns any items it produces. - Action **Update Item** Changes attributes of an existing item in a DynamoDB table and returns the updated item. - Trigger **New Capture** Triggers when a new item is saved to your capture library. - Action **Add capture** Create a new capture. ## Each app on its own - [ **AWS DynamoDB** Serverless NoSQL database service for storing and querying key-value and document data at scale.](https://apiant.ai/connections/aws-dynamodb) - [ **capture** capture is a service that is your AI's long-term memory.](https://apiant.ai/connections/capture) Reviews ## What our customers say ## More from AWS DynamoDB - [ **AWS DynamoDB to HubSpot** HubSpot is your all-in-one stop for all of your marketing software needs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/aws-dynamodb-to-hubspot) - [ **AWS DynamoDB to Salesforce** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/aws-dynamodb-to-salesforce) - [ **AWS DynamoDB to Slack** Slack is a messaging platform for teams.

Any of AWS DynamoDB's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New Item and New Table. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in capture when something happens in AWS DynamoDB? Any of capture's 1 action, including Add capture. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from capture to AWS DynamoDB? Yes. When something happens in capture, your agent can act in AWS DynamoDB too. This page covers both directions: capture's triggers and AWS DynamoDB's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for AWS DynamoDB or capture? 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 AWS DynamoDB and capture 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.
