Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running. JIRA **2** triggers JIRA **138** actions Ontraport **5** triggers Ontraport **14** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want JIRA and Ontraport 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) ### Cursor Add the address to your MCP configuration as a server URL.

From the terminal, Codex takes the address with its own add command and then signs you in.

APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) JIRA holds the engineering work and Ontraport holds the customer record, so the two rarely meet. Connecting them lets a new JIRA issue look up the matching Ontraport contact by email, tag it or open a task, and lets Ontraport contacts and transactions open or update issues in JIRA. Both directions run on the same setup.

The usual route is Find Contact by Email, using the reporter or a customer email field on the issue. If a match comes back you can Tag Contact, Create Task or Update Object; if nothing matches, the run can stop or create the contact instead. ### ### Can a change in JIRA be picked up, not just a new issue? Yes, the New or Updated Issue trigger polls issues by their last updated date, so status changes and field edits are seen. From there you can remove a tag, update an Ontraport object or create a task for the account owner. ### ### What can start an automation from JIRA? Any of JIRA's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New Issue and New or Updated Issue. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Ontraport when something happens in JIRA? Any of Ontraport's 14 actions, including Create Task, Find Contact by Email, Remove Tag from Contact and Create Object. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Ontraport to JIRA? Yes. When something happens in Ontraport, your agent can act in JIRA too. This page covers both directions: Ontraport's triggers and JIRA's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for JIRA or Ontraport? 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 JIRA and Ontraport 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.
