## What do you want Copper and VideoDB 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

Run this in the directory you want to work in.

`claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai`

Questions

## Copper and VideoDB, answered

###

### What can start an automation from Copper?

Any of Copper's 17 triggers in the catalog, including New Activity, New Company, New Lead and New Opportunity. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

###

### What can your agent do in VideoDB when something happens in Copper?

Any of VideoDB's 21 actions, including Create Highlight Clip, Upload & Index Video, Add Collection and Add Overlay / Watermark. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from VideoDB to Copper?

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

###

### Do I have to build a connector for Copper or VideoDB?

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 Copper and VideoDB 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.
