Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Azure Service Bus and SQL Server 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 Azure Service Bus and SQL Server ## Triggers and actions 5 triggers · 16 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. Complete the message to remove it, or abandon it to release it back to the queue; the lock expires on its own after the queue's lock duration. - Action **Send Message to Queue** Sends a message to a queue in the connected Service Bus namespace, with optional subject, IDs, scheduling and custom properties. - Trigger **New or Updated Row** Triggers when a new row is added or modified. - Trigger **New or Updated Row (Custom Query)** Fires for each new or changed row returned by a SELECT statement you write against the connected SQL Server database. - Trigger **New Row** Triggers when you add a new row. - Trigger **New Table** Fires when a new table appears in the connected SQL Server database. - Action **Add Row** Add one row to a table on the connected SQL Server database. - Action **Delete Row** Delete the rows in a table whose chosen column equals a value. - Action **Find Row** Find the first row in a table whose chosen column matches a value. - Action **Find Rows via Custom Query** Runs a SELECT statement you write against the connected SQL Server database and returns every row it matches. - Action **Find Row via Custom Query** Runs a SELECT statement you write against the connected SQL Server database and returns the first row it matches. - Action **Run Custom Statement** Runs a statement you write against the connected SQL Server database that changes data rather than returning rows, and reports how many rows it changed. - Action **Update Row** Change column values on every row of a table whose chosen column matches a value. ## Each app on its own - [ **Azure Service Bus** Managed message broker providing queues and pub/sub topics for reliable, asynchronous communication between...](https://apiant.ai/connections/azure-service-bus) - [ **SQL Server** Connect directly to a Microsoft SQL Server database and run SQL statements from your automations.](https://apiant.ai/connections/sql-server) Reviews ## What our customers say ## More from Azure Service Bus - [ **Azure Service Bus to HubSpot** HubSpot is your all-in-one stop for all of your marketing software needs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/azure-service-bus-to-hubspot) - [ **Azure Service Bus to Salesforce** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/azure-service-bus-to-salesforce) - [ **Azure Service Bus to Slack** Slack is a messaging platform for teams.

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 SQL Server when something happens in Azure Service Bus? Any of SQL Server's 7 actions, including Update Row, Add Row, Find Row and Find Rows via Custom Query. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from SQL Server to Azure Service Bus? Yes. When something happens in SQL Server, your agent can act in Azure Service Bus too. This page covers both directions: SQL Server's triggers and Azure Service Bus's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Azure Service Bus or SQL Server? 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 SQL Server 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.
