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.

A new ClickUp task or comment can post to a Slack channel or DM the person responsible, and a Slack message, file or reaction can create a ClickUp task, add an attachment or update one that already exists. Both directions run on their own once set up.

Yes. A Slack trigger such as a new reaction added or a new message in a chosen channel can run the ClickUp Create Task action, and you choose the list, assignee and fields it fills in. You can add further ClickUp steps, like Add Task Checklist or Post a Task Comment, after it. ### ### How does the agent know which Slack person matches a ClickUp assignee? Slack's Find User by Email action looks up the person by the email address on the ClickUp task, and ClickUp's Find User by Name or Email does the reverse. The result feeds the next step, such as Slack Send Direct Message or assigning through Update Task. ### ### What can start an automation from ClickUp? Any of ClickUp's 6 triggers in the catalog, including New Comment on a Task, New Task, Task Changes and New Folder. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Slack when something happens in ClickUp? Any of Slack's 60 actions, including Create Reminder, Find User by Email, Send Message and Create Canvas. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Slack to ClickUp? Yes. When something happens in Slack, your agent can act in ClickUp too. This page covers both directions: Slack's triggers and ClickUp's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for ClickUp or Slack? 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 ClickUp and Slack 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.
