# Connect Instapaper to Lido

When **New bookmark** fires in [Instapaper](https://apiant.ai/connections/instapaper), your agent runs **Extract Data From File** in [Lido](https://apiant.ai/connections/lido). Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

Instapaper **1** trigger Instapaper **14** actions Lido **3** actions

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

## What do you want Instapaper and Lido 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

Add the address to your MCP configuration as a server URL. Cursor signs you in in your browser.

### Zed

Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp)

### Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app

Open Settings, then MCP servers, then Add server, and choose Streamable HTTP. From the terminal, Codex takes the address with its own add command and then signs you in.

### 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.

###

### Can my AI client use Instapaper and Lido without building an automation?

Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
