# Connect Grist and Willo

When **New or Updated Record** fires in [Grist](https://apiant.ai/connections/grist), your agent runs **Add department** in [Willo](https://apiant.ai/connections/willo), or **List Users** in Willo to **Create or Update Record** in Grist.

What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.

## What do you want Grist and Willo 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.

### Cursor

[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. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.

###

### What can start an automation from Grist?

###

### What can your agent do in Willo when something happens in Grist?

Any of Willo's 19 actions, including Create Company, Create Interview, Update interview and Update participant. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from Willo to Grist?

Yes. When something happens in Willo, your agent can act in Grist too. This page covers both directions: Willo's triggers and Grist's actions are listed here as well.

###

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 Grist and Willo 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.

###
