Integration
Connect Clio and OpenAI
When Matter Status Updated fires in Clio, your agent runs Create message in OpenAI, or New batch in OpenAI to Create Company Contact in Clio. 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.
Build solutions, not workarounds.
What do you want Clio and OpenAI to do together?
Ask the assistant
Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne 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.aiStart Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.
Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)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)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)Zed
Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)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)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.

Questions
Clio and OpenAI, answered
What can start an automation from Clio?
Any of Clio's 8 triggers in the catalog, including Matter Status Updated, New Activity, New Calendar Entry and New Communication. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in OpenAI when something happens in Clio?
Any of OpenAI's 69 actions, including Create assistant, Create chat completion, Create completion and Create embedding. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from OpenAI to Clio?
Yes. When something happens in OpenAI, your agent can act in Clio too. This page covers both directions: OpenAI's triggers and Clio's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Clio or OpenAI?
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 Clio and OpenAI 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.
