## What do you want Clio and Playbook Creative 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.

###

### What can your agent do in Playbook Creative when something happens in Clio?

Any of Playbook Creative's 18 actions, including Create Asset, Create Board, Create Organization and Update Asset. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from Playbook Creative to Clio?

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

###

###

### Can my AI client use Clio and Playbook Creative 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.
