# Connect Chaport and Grist

When **Chat Stage Updated (instant)** fires in [Chaport](https://apiant.ai/connections/chaport), your agent runs **Create or Update Record** in [Grist](https://apiant.ai/connections/grist), or **New or Updated Record** in Grist to **Send a Message** in Chaport. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

Chaport **8** triggers Chaport **12** actions Grist **4** triggers Grist **21** actions

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

## What do you want Chaport and Grist 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.
