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.

APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) Connecting Dropbox and Mistral AI lets files that land in a Dropbox folder be read by a model without anyone opening them. Scanned documents can go through OCR, recordings can be transcribed, images can be described, and the results can be written back into Dropbox alongside the original file.

The agent uses Dropbox's temporary link or download action to fetch the file, then hands it to a Mistral AI action such as Extract text from document (OCR) or Transcribe audio. The result can then be uploaded back into Dropbox as a new file. ### ### Can I run this on only some of the files in a folder? Yes. The New File in Folder trigger watches the folder you choose, and the agent can check details such as the file name or type before calling Mistral AI, so audio goes to transcription and images go to vision analysis. Every scenario is tested before it runs. ### ### What can start an automation from Dropbox? Any of Dropbox's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New File in Folder. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Mistral AI when something happens in Dropbox? Any of Mistral AI's 10 actions, including Analyze Image (Vision), Create Embeddings, Moderate content and Transcribe audio. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Mistral AI to Dropbox? Mistral AI has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Dropbox. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Mistral AI's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Dropbox or Mistral AI? 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 Dropbox and Mistral AI 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.
