# Connect iDigBio and Wachete

When **New record** fires in [iDigBio](https://apiant.ai/connections/idigbio), your agent runs **Create monitor** in [Wachete](https://apiant.ai/connections/wachete), or **New notification for monitor** in Wachete to **Find media records** in iDigBio. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

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

## What do you want iDigBio and Wachete 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)

### 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.

- Action

**Update monitor**

Change the settings of an existing Wachete monitor — name, URL, watched/excluded XPath, regex, note, job type, check frequency and location, crawl options, folder, alerts, notification endpoints, headers and proxies. A partial update: the op first reads the monitor's current record, overlays only the fields you filled in, then writes the merged record back, so anything you leave blank keeps its current value — including settings this op does not expose. Identify the monitor by its id. Check frequency is in seconds (86400 = daily) and is ignored if not positive; the true/false options take the words true or false; alerts, notification endpoints, headers and proxies take JSON. Returns the monitor id, name and URL after the update plus the full monitor record.
