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.

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 Azure Key Vault and Azurevirtualmachines ## Triggers and actions 2 triggers · 19 actions - Trigger **New Secret** Triggers when a new secret is added to your key vault. - Action **Delete Secret** Deletes a secret and all its versions. If the vault has soft-delete on, the secret can still be recovered until it is purged. - Action **Get Deleted Secret** Returns the details of a secret that was deleted but not yet purged, including when it will be permanently removed. - Action **Get Secret** Returns a secret's value and details, either the latest version or a specific one. - Action **List Secrets** Returns the secrets in your key vault with their details (not their values). - Action **Purge Deleted Secret** Permanently removes a deleted secret so it cannot be recovered and its name can be reused. - Action **Recover Deleted Secret** Restores a deleted secret, with all its versions, before it is purged. - Action **Set Secret** Stores a secret in your key vault. If a secret with that name already exists, a new version of it is created. - Action **Update Secret Properties** Changes a secret's settings (enabled, content type, expiry, tags) without changing its value. - Trigger **New Virtual Machine** Triggers when a new virtual machine appears in an Azure subscription. - Action **Deallocate Virtual Machine** Shuts down an Azure virtual machine and releases its compute resources, so compute charges stop until it is started again. - Action **Get Virtual Machine** Returns a virtual machine's details and its current power state (running, stopped or deallocated). - Action **List Available VM Sizes** Returns the virtual machine sizes offered in an Azure region, with CPU and memory, and whether each is available to the subscription. - Action **List Locations** Returns the Azure regions available to a subscription. - Action **List Resource Groups** Returns the resource groups in an Azure subscription. - Action **List Subscriptions** Returns the Azure subscriptions the connected app registration can access. - Action **List Virtual Machines** Returns every virtual machine in an Azure subscription, with its size, region and resource group. - Action **List Virtual Machines in Resource Group** Returns the virtual machines in one Azure resource group, with their size and region. - Action **Power Off Virtual Machine** Powers off an Azure virtual machine. The machine stops running but stays allocated, so compute charges continue; use Deallocate Virtual Machine to stop them. - Action **Restart Virtual Machine** Restarts a running Azure virtual machine. Azure accepts the request and reboots the machine in the background. - Action **Start Virtual Machine** Starts a stopped or deallocated Azure virtual machine. Azure accepts the request and powers the machine on in the background. ## Each app on its own - [ **Azure Key Vault** Cloud service for securely storing and managing secrets, encryption keys, and certificates used by...](https://apiant.ai/connections/azure-key-vault) - [ **Azurevirtualmachines** Cloud computing service for creating and managing on-demand Linux and Windows virtual machines.](https://apiant.ai/connections/azurevirtualmachines) Reviews ## What our customers say ## More from Azure Key Vault - [ **Azure Key Vault to HubSpot** HubSpot is your all-in-one stop for all of your marketing software needs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/azure-key-vault-to-hubspot) - [ **Azure Key Vault to Salesforce** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/azure-key-vault-to-salesforce) - [ **Azure Key Vault to Slack** Slack is a messaging platform for teams.

Any of Azure Key Vault's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Secret. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Azurevirtualmachines when something happens in Azure Key Vault? Any of Azurevirtualmachines's 11 actions, including Deallocate Virtual Machine, Get Virtual Machine, List Available VM Sizes and List Locations. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Azurevirtualmachines to Azure Key Vault? Yes. When something happens in Azurevirtualmachines, your agent can act in Azure Key Vault too. This page covers both directions: Azurevirtualmachines's triggers and Azure Key Vault's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Azure Key Vault or Azurevirtualmachines? 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 Azure Key Vault and Azurevirtualmachines 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.
