Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne 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.

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)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. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)FreeAgent and QuickBooks Online both hold your customers and sales, so teams that run the two end up typing the same contact and invoice twice. Connecting them means a contact or invoice raised in FreeAgent shows up in QuickBooks Online, and customer edits made in QuickBooks Online land back on the FreeAgent contact.

Questions
FreeAgent and QuickBooks Online, answered
What happens if the customer is not already in QuickBooks Online?
The agent can look up the customer by name in QuickBooks Online before doing anything else and create the customer when there is no match. Only then does it create the invoice or estimate, so nothing is filed against the wrong record.
Can the agent email the invoice after copying it over?
Yes. Once the invoice is created in QuickBooks Online, the agent can send it to the billing email on the record or to an address you supply. The agent tests every scenario before it runs on live data.
What can start an automation from FreeAgent?
Any of FreeAgent's 6 triggers in the catalog, including New Contact, New Invoice, New Project and New Bank Transaction. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in QuickBooks Online when something happens in FreeAgent?
Any of QuickBooks Online's 45 actions, including Create customer, Create estimate, Create account and Create bill. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from QuickBooks Online to FreeAgent?
Yes. When something happens in QuickBooks Online, your agent can act in FreeAgent too. This page covers both directions: QuickBooks Online's triggers and FreeAgent's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for FreeAgent or QuickBooks Online?
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 FreeAgent and QuickBooks Online 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.
