Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running. Azurevirtualmachines **1** trigger Azurevirtualmachines **11** actions OpenChainBench **3** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Azurevirtualmachines and OpenChainBench 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 Azurevirtualmachines and OpenChainBench ## Triggers and actions 1 trigger · 14 actions - 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. - Action **Compare providers** Return a head-to-head comparison of two providers across every benchmark where both appear. - Action **Get Benchmark** Look up a single benchmark by slug, including its provider rankings, sparkline series, and a ready-to-paste citation. - Action **List Benchmarks** Return the full index of citable OpenChainBench benchmarks with their current values, rankings, and metadata. ## Each app on its own - [ **Azurevirtualmachines** Cloud computing service for creating and managing on-demand Linux and Windows virtual machines.](https://apiant.ai/connections/azurevirtualmachines) - [ **OpenChainBench** Open dataset of crypto infrastructure benchmarks: RPC latency, oracles, bridges, prediction markets](https://apiant.ai/connections/openchainbench) Reviews ## What our customers say ## More from Azurevirtualmachines - [ **Azurevirtualmachines to HubSpot** HubSpot is your all-in-one stop for all of your marketing software needs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/azurevirtualmachines-to-hubspot) - [ **Azurevirtualmachines to Salesforce** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/azurevirtualmachines-to-salesforce) - [ **Azurevirtualmachines to Slack** Slack is a messaging platform for teams.

Any of Azurevirtualmachines's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Virtual Machine. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in OpenChainBench when something happens in Azurevirtualmachines? Any of OpenChainBench's 3 actions, including Compare providers, Get Benchmark and List Benchmarks. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from OpenChainBench to Azurevirtualmachines? OpenChainBench has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Azurevirtualmachines. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads OpenChainBench's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Azurevirtualmachines or OpenChainBench? 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 Azurevirtualmachines and OpenChainBench 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.
