Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Azure Service Bus and ShipEngine 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.

Everything your agent can do with Azure Service Bus and ShipEngine ## Triggers and actions 1 trigger · 23 actions - Trigger **New Message in Queue** Triggers when a message arrives in a Service Bus queue. Each check picks up the next message and removes it from the queue, so use a queue dedicated to this automation. - Action **Abandon Message** Abandons a message received with Receive Message (Peek-Lock), releasing its lock so it can be received again. - Action **Complete Message** Completes a message received with Receive Message (Peek-Lock), removing it from the queue. - Action **Create Queue** Creates a new queue in the connected Service Bus namespace and returns its settings. - Action **Delete Queue** Deletes a queue from the connected Service Bus namespace, along with all of its messages. - Action **Get Queue** Returns a Service Bus queue's settings and its current message counts. - Action **List Queues** Returns the queues in the connected Service Bus namespace, with each queue's status and message counts. - Action **Receive and Delete Message** Receives the next message from a queue in the connected Service Bus namespace and removes it from the queue. - Action **Receive Message (Peek-Lock)** Receives the next message from a queue and locks it, so another receiver cannot take it.

Any of Azure Service Bus's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Message in Queue. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in ShipEngine when something happens in Azure Service Bus? Any of ShipEngine's 14 actions, including Update shipment, Add batch, Add label and Add shipment. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from ShipEngine to Azure Service Bus? ShipEngine has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Azure Service Bus. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads ShipEngine's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Azure Service Bus or ShipEngine? 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 Service Bus and ShipEngine 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.
