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.

The action first uploads every photo with published=false, then creates one /feed post with those photo IDs as attached_media. If any upload fails, the feed post is not created; earlier uploads can remain unpublished on Facebook temporarily. This action publishes immediately and does not add photos to an existing album. - Action **Create Photo Post** Posts a photo from a URL to a Facebook Page, with an optional caption. - Action **Create Post** Creates a new post on a facebook page. - Action **Delete Comment** Deletes a facebook comment. - Action **Delete Post** Deletes a facebook page post. - Action **Get Comment** Returns one comment on a Facebook Page post. - Action **Get Comments** Retrieves comments from a facebook post or comment (for replies). - Action **Get Page Details** Fetches details about a specific facebook page. - Action **Get Page Photos** Returns the photos on a Facebook Page. - Action **Get Page Posts** Retrieves posts from a facebook page. - Action **Get Page Roles** Retrieves a list of people and their tasks/roles on a facebook page. - Action **Get Page Tagged Posts** Retrieves posts where a Facebook Page is tagged or mentioned.

Requires `pages_show_list` or `pages_read_engagement` OAuth scopes; missing scopes silently return empty results rather than an error. An empty `data` array means the user manages no Pages. Results are paginated via `paging.cursors`; follow `paging.next` until absent to retrieve all Pages when count exceeds `limit`. Graph API throttling (error codes 4, 17, 613) can occur during pagination — use exponential backoff. - Action **List Page Stories** List photo and video stories published by a Facebook Page. - Action **List Published Page Posts** List posts published by a Facebook Page, excluding unpublished posts. - Action **Unlike Post Or Comment** Removes a like from a facebook post or comment. - Action **Update Comment** Updates an existing facebook comment. - Action **Update Page Settings** Updates a Facebook Page's About text, description, contact details or website. - Action **Update Post** Updates an existing facebook page post. - Action **Upload Photos Batch** Uploads several photos from URLs to a Facebook Page or one of its albums in one step. ## Each app on its own - [ **crates.io** Search Rust crates and read crate metadata, versions, owners and download counts from the crates.io package...](https://apiant.ai/connections/crates-io) - [ **Facebook Pages** Facebook Pages lets you connect with your customers, fans and followers on the world's largest social network.](https://apiant.ai/connections/facebook-pages) Reviews ## What our customers say ## More from crates.io - [ **crates.io to Postman** Postman is a platform for building and testing APIs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/crates-io-to-postman) - [ **crates.io to HubSpot** HubSpot is your all-in-one stop for all of your marketing software needs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/crates-io-to-hubspot) - [ **crates.io to Salesforce** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/crates-io-to-salesforce) - [ **crates.io to Slack** Slack is a messaging platform for teams.

Any of crates.io's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New crate and New crate version. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Facebook Pages when something happens in crates.io? Any of Facebook Pages's 28 actions, including Create Comment, Create Multi Photo Post, Create Photo Post and Create Post. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Facebook Pages to crates.io? Yes. When something happens in Facebook Pages, your agent can act in crates.io too. This page covers both directions: Facebook Pages's triggers and crates.io's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for crates.io or Facebook Pages? 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 crates.io and Facebook Pages 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.
