Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running. DigitalOcean **8** triggers DigitalOcean **108** actions Google Drive **7** triggers Google Drive **85** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want DigitalOcean and Google Drive 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. [Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp/claude-code) ### 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)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### 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)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Zed Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### 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)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### 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.

Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract. - Trigger **File Updated** Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive. - Trigger **Google Drive Changes** Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive. - Trigger **New File Matching Query** Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query.

Use this action when you need to share multiple files with users, or share a single file with multiple users or groups simultaneously. Each permission in the batch can target a different file and specify different access levels.

Any of DigitalOcean's 8 triggers in the catalog, including New App, New App Deployment, New Database Cluster and New Domain. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Google Drive when something happens in DigitalOcean? Any of Google Drive's 85 actions, including Create Comment, Create File, Create File From Text and Create Folder. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Google Drive to DigitalOcean? Yes. When something happens in Google Drive, your agent can act in DigitalOcean too. This page covers both directions: Google Drive's triggers and DigitalOcean's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for DigitalOcean or Google Drive? 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 DigitalOcean and Google Drive 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.
