## What do you want PaintScout and SwagUp 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)

Questions

## PaintScout and SwagUp, answered

###

### What can start an automation from PaintScout?

Any of PaintScout's 5 triggers in the catalog, including Contact Created, Invoice Status Changed, Quote Status Changed and Quote Tag Added. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

###

### What can your agent do in SwagUp when something happens in PaintScout?

Any of SwagUp's 10 actions, including Create a New Recipient, Update Existing Recipient Information, Add Funds to Credit Balance and Find an Order. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from SwagUp to PaintScout?

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

###

### Do I have to build a connector for PaintScout or SwagUp?

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 PaintScout and SwagUp 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.

###

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?
