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) Instagram tells you who is talking to you; Webclaw goes and reads the rest of the web. Joining them means a comment, a direct message or a new post can set off a web search or a brand signal lookup, so the details you need are gathered before anyone opens a browser tab. The agent builds the connection, tests every scenario and keeps it running.

Yes. A new comment can start a web search in Webclaw, and the Reply To Comment action in Instagram can post the response, with a condition so it only replies when the search returned something usable. ### ### Does Webclaw send anything back into Instagram on its own? No, Webclaw has no triggers, so every run starts from an Instagram event such as a new comment, a new direct message or a new post. From there Webclaw can search the web or extract brand signals, and Instagram actions can follow. ### ### What can start an automation from Instagram? Any of Instagram's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New Comment, New Media Posted and New Message. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Webclaw when something happens in Instagram? Any of Webclaw's 2 actions, including Extract brand signals and Search web. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Webclaw to Instagram? Webclaw has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Instagram. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Webclaw's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Instagram or Webclaw? 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 Webclaw 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.
