# Connect Busybusy and Recurly

When **Certifications: Certification Updated** fires in [Busybusy](https://apiant.ai/connections/busybusy), your agent runs **Add invoice** in [Recurly](https://apiant.ai/connections/recurly), or **Prerenewal of subscription** in Recurly to **Create Project** in Busybusy. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.

## What do you want Busybusy and Recurly 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.

### 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.

###

### What can your agent do in Recurly when something happens in Busybusy?

Any of Recurly's 80 actions, including Create account, Create line item, Create purchase - add subscription and Create purchase - add subscription add-on. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from Recurly to Busybusy?

Yes. When something happens in Recurly, your agent can act in Busybusy too. This page covers both directions: Recurly's triggers and Busybusy's actions are listed here as well.

###

###

### Can my AI client use Busybusy and Recurly without building an automation?

Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
