# Connect Clio and Pipeliner Crm

When **Matter Status Updated** fires in [Clio](https://apiant.ai/connections/clio), your agent runs **Add contact** in [Pipeliner Crm](https://apiant.ai/connections/pipeliner-crm), or **New account** in Pipeliner Crm to **Create Company Contact** in Clio. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

## What do you want Clio and Pipeliner Crm 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.

###

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

###

###

### Can my AI client use Clio and Pipeliner Crm 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.
