# Connect Lokalise and QuickBooks Online

When **Contributor Added** fires in [Lokalise](https://apiant.ai/connections/lokalise), your agent runs **Create customer** in [QuickBooks Online](https://apiant.ai/connections/quickbooks-online), or **New bill** in QuickBooks Online to **Create a Task** in Lokalise. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

Lokalise **16** triggers Lokalise **26** actions QuickBooks Online **11** triggers QuickBooks Online **45** actions

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

## What do you want Lokalise and QuickBooks Online 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. Cursor signs you in in your browser.

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

[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.
