# Connect Clientary and Keygen

When **New Expense** fires in [Clientary](https://apiant.ai/connections/clientary), your agent runs **Create User** in [Keygen](https://apiant.ai/connections/keygen), or **License Created** in Keygen to **Add contact** in Clientary. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

Clientary **3** triggers Clientary **14** actions Keygen **13** triggers Keygen **28** actions

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

## What do you want Clientary and Keygen 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)
