# Connect Motion and TidyHQ

When **New Comment** fires in [Motion](https://apiant.ai/connections/motion), your agent runs **Add Contact Note** in [TidyHQ](https://apiant.ai/connections/tidyhq), or **Contact Added to Group** in TidyHQ to **Create Recurring Task** in Motion. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

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

## What do you want Motion and TidyHQ 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)

### 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.

Questions

## Motion and TidyHQ, answered

###

### What can start an automation from Motion?

Any of Motion's 4 triggers in the catalog, including New Comment, New or Updated Task, New Project and New Task. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

###

### What can your agent do in TidyHQ when something happens in Motion?

Any of TidyHQ's 19 actions, including Create Contact, Update Contact, Update Event and Update Event Ticket. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from TidyHQ to Motion?

Yes. When something happens in TidyHQ, your agent can act in Motion too. This page covers both directions: TidyHQ's triggers and Motion's actions are listed here as well.

###

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 Motion and TidyHQ without building an automation?

### 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.

###
