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.

Connecting them lets a new donor or gift in DonorPerfect land in your MySQL tables, and lets rows added or changed in MySQL create pledges, gifts or donor updates back in DonorPerfect. The agent builds the flow, tests every scenario and keeps it running.

Yes. On a new gift in DonorPerfect the agent can get the donor, use Find Row against your MySQL table, and add the gift row only when that lookup returns a match. ### ### What can a change in MySQL do inside DonorPerfect? A new row or a row returned by your own SELECT can add a pledge, add a gift, add a contact record or update an existing donor in DonorPerfect. The agent maps your MySQL columns to the DonorPerfect fields those actions expect. ### ### What can start an automation from MySQL? Any of MySQL's 4 triggers in the catalog, including New or Updated Row, New or Updated Row (Custom Query), New Row and New Table. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in DonorPerfect when something happens in MySQL? Any of DonorPerfect's 36 actions, including Add new pledge, Get donor, Update donor and Post pledge payment. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from DonorPerfect to MySQL? Yes. When something happens in DonorPerfect, your agent can act in MySQL too. This page covers both directions: DonorPerfect's triggers and MySQL's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for MySQL or DonorPerfect? 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 MySQL and DonorPerfect 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.
