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.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) Pipedream holds the connected accounts and deployed triggers behind your automations, while Instagram holds the posts, comments and direct messages your audience sees. Joining them lets a new connected account in Pipedream pull Instagram profile and account insights, and lets Instagram activity reach back into Pipedream to look up accounts or call an API on a user's behalf.

Instagram lists a Reply To Comment action, so a reply can be posted once the New Comment trigger fires. The agent builds the wording and conditions you describe, then tests each scenario before it runs on live comments. ### ### Does this work with a personal Instagram account? No, the Instagram triggers and actions here cover Business and Creator accounts only. Pipedream stores the connected account used for those calls, and you can look it up with Get account or List accounts for user. ### ### What can start an automation from Instagram? Any of Instagram's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New Media Posted, New Message and New Comment. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Pipedream when something happens in Instagram? Any of Pipedream's 34 actions, including List accounts for user, Proxy PUT request, Create account and Create connect token. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Pipedream to Instagram? Yes. When something happens in Pipedream, your agent can act in Instagram too. This page covers both directions: Pipedream's triggers and Instagram's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Instagram or Pipedream? 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 Instagram and Pipedream 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.
