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.

Describe the flow you need, at any depth, and your agent builds it and tests every scenario before it ships. Everything your agent can do with Google Tasks and PaintScout ## Triggers and actions 10 triggers · 35 actions - Trigger **New Task Created** Triggers when a new task is created in a Google Tasks list. Uses timestamp filtering (updatedMin) to efficiently detect new tasks. - Trigger **New Task List Created** Triggers when a new Google Tasks task list is created. This trigger monitors Google Tasks and fires when new task lists are detected. - Trigger **Task Details Changed** Triggers when a specific task's details change. This trigger monitors a single Google Task and fires when any of its details (title, notes, status, due date, completion, position) are modified. - Trigger **Task List Changed** Triggers when a task list changes (title or content updates). This trigger monitors a specific Google Tasks list and fires when changes are detected. - Trigger **Task Updated** Triggers when an existing task is updated in a Google Tasks list. This trigger monitors a specific task list and fires when tasks are modified. - Action **Batch Execute** Executes multiple Google Tasks API operations in a single HTTP batch request and returns structured per-item results. Use this to reduce LLM tool invocations when performing bulk operations like updating many tasks, moving tasks, or deleting multiple items. Note: Each sub-request still counts toward API quota; batching primarily reduces HTTP overhead and tool call count. - Action **Clear Tasks** Permanently clears all completed tasks from a specified google tasks list; this action is destructive and idempotent. - Action **Create Task List** Creates a new task list with the specified title. - Action **Delete Task** Deletes a specified task from a given task list in google tasks. - Action **Delete Task List** Permanently deletes an existing google task list, identified by `tasklist id`, along with all its tasks; this operation is irreversible. - Action **Get Task** Use to retrieve a specific google task if its `task id` and parent `tasklist id` are known. - Action **Get Task List** Retrieves a specific task list from the user's google tasks if the `tasklist id` exists for the authenticated user. - Action **Insert Task** Creates a new task in a given `tasklist id`, optionally as a subtask of an existing `task parent` or positioned after an existing `task previous` sibling, where both `task parent` and `task previous` must belong to the same `tasklist id` if specified. - Action **List Task Lists** Fetches the authenticated user's task lists from google tasks; results may be paginated. - Action **List Tasks** Retrieves tasks from a google tasks list; all date/time strings must be rfc3339 utc, and `showcompleted` must be true if `completedmin` or `completedmax` are specified. - Action **Move Task** Moves the specified task to another position in the destination task list. - Action **Patch Task** Partially updates an existing task (identified by `task id`) within a specific google task list (identified by `tasklist id`), modifying only the provided attributes from `taskinput` (e.g., `title`, `notes`, `due` date, `status`) and requiring both the task and list to exist. - Action **Patch Task List** Updates the title of an existing google tasks task list. - Action **Update Task** Updates the specified task. - Action **Update Task Full** Tool to fully replace an existing Google Task using PUT method. Use when you need to update the entire task resource, not just specific fields. This method requires all required fields (id, title) and replaces the complete task, unlike PATCH which supports partial updates. - Action **Update Task List** Updates the authenticated user's specified task list. - Trigger **Contact Created** Triggers when a new contact is created in PaintScout. - Trigger **Invoice Sent** Triggers when an invoice is sent to a customer, including when an invoice is re-sent. - Trigger **Invoice Status Changed** Triggers when an invoice's status changes, delivering the invoice with its new status. - Trigger **Quote Status Changed** Triggers when a quote's status changes, for example when it is sent, accepted or declined. - Trigger **Quote Tag Added** Triggers when a tag is added to a quote, optionally only for one specific tag. - Action **Add company** Creates a new company in PaintScout with its name, contact details, address, lead source, owner and tags. - Action **Add deal** Creates a new deal in PaintScout, with its contact, job address, pipeline stage and value. - Action **Add note** Adds a note to a PaintScout contact, deal or company and returns the new note. - Action **Add task** Creates a task in PaintScout, optionally linked to a deal and assigned to a user. - Action **Create Contact** Creates a new contact in PaintScout with names, email, phone numbers, address, lead source, owner, note and tags. - Action **Create Quote** Creates a new quote in PaintScout for a contact, with its job address, notes, pricing adjustments and tags. - Action **Find companies** Returns the companies that match a search filter, such as a name, email or city. - Action **Find Contact** Returns up to 100 contacts that match the search you specify, such as an email address, name or company. - Action **Find deals** Returns the deals that match a search filter, such as a deal name, pipeline, stage or lead source. - Action **Find Invoice** Returns the invoices that match a search, such as a status, invoice number, contact name or date range. - Action **Find Quote** Returns the quotes that match a search filter, such as a quote number, status or contact name. - Action **Get contact** Returns a single PaintScout contact by its ID, including name, company, email, phone, address, lead source, owner and tags. - Action **Get deal** Returns a single PaintScout deal by its ID, including its contact, job address, pipeline stage, value, tags, linked quotes and invoices, and job costing. - Action **Get invoice** Returns a single PaintScout invoice with its contact, line items, payments, taxes, discounts and totals.

Any of Google Tasks's 5 triggers in the catalog, including New Task Created, New Task List Created, Task Details Changed and Task List Changed. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in PaintScout when something happens in Google Tasks? Any of PaintScout's 19 actions, including Create Contact, Create Quote, Update company and Update Contact. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from PaintScout to Google Tasks? Yes. When something happens in PaintScout, your agent can act in Google Tasks too. This page covers both directions: PaintScout's triggers and Google Tasks's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Google Tasks or PaintScout? 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 Google Tasks and PaintScout 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.
