Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running. Mailchimp **5** triggers Mailchimp **164** actions OpenAI **5** triggers OpenAI **69** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Mailchimp and OpenAI 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) ### 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. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### 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. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) Mailchimp holds your audiences, campaigns and reports, and OpenAI can read, write and summarise text, images, audio and video around them. Joining the two lets a campaign report turn into a written recap on the campaign itself, a new audience get its own vector store, or a generated video land in the Mailchimp File Manager without anyone moving files by hand.

Yes. The Campaign Sent trigger can pull the campaign report, pass it to OpenAI for a chat completion, and post the reply back with Add Campaign Feedback, so the recap sits on the campaign record. ### ### What happens if a condition in my setup is not met? You describe the condition in plain English, such as only acting when unsubscribes were recorded on the report, and the run stops there. The agent tests every scenario before it goes live, so you can see what happens when the condition holds and when it does not. ### ### What can start an automation from Mailchimp? Any of Mailchimp's 5 triggers in the catalog, including Campaign Sent (instant), Member Profile Updated (instant), New list and Member Email Changed (instant). Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in OpenAI when something happens in Mailchimp? Any of OpenAI's 69 actions, including Create embedding, Create vector store, Create assistant and Create chat completion. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from OpenAI to Mailchimp? Yes. When something happens in OpenAI, your agent can act in Mailchimp too. This page covers both directions: OpenAI's triggers and Mailchimp's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Mailchimp or OpenAI? 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 Mailchimp and OpenAI 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.
