Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running. Paperless **2** triggers Paperless **6** actions Amplitude **12** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Paperless and Amplitude 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.

Describe the flow you need, at any depth, and your agent builds it and tests every scenario before it ships. Everything your agent can do with Paperless and Amplitude ## Triggers and actions 2 triggers ยท 18 actions - Trigger **Document updated** Fires when a document is updated (e.g. name changed). Backed by the document.updated webhook event. - Trigger **New document created** Fires when a new document is created. Backed by the document.created webhook event. - Action **Create Document (From Template)** Creates a new Paperless document from an existing template, optionally filling in recipients, form-field defaults and variables, and optionally sending it right away. - Action **Delete Document** Permanently delete a document by ID. - Action **Get Document** Retrieves a single Paperless document by its id. - Action **Get Template** Retrieves a single Paperless template by its id. - Action **List Templates** List all templates the API key's integration has access to, used to pick a template_id before creating a document. - Action **Update Document** Updates an existing Paperless document: rename it, set its recipients, form field defaults and variables, or send it by setting its state to dispatched. - Action **Batch upload events** Sends a batch of events to Amplitude in one call. Use this when you have many events to record at once rather than one at a time. - Action **Export event data** Exports every event Amplitude recorded in a time window, as a zip archive of event data. - Action **Get cohort** Returns one behavioral cohort's details, including its name, size and when it was last recalculated. - Action **Get event segmentation** Counts how often an event happened over a date range, optionally split by a property or filtered to a segment of users. - Action **Get funnel analysis** Runs a funnel over a series of events and returns how many users reached each step and how many dropped off. - Action **Get retention analysis** Shows how many users came back and did something again after a starting event, over a date range. - Action **Get user properties** Looks a user up in Amplitude and returns what Amplitude knows about them, including their Amplitude ID. - Action **Group identify** Sets properties on a group in Amplitude, such as a company or team, so you can analyse behaviour by group. - Action **Identify user** Sets properties on a user in Amplitude without recording an event, so later events are attributed with the new details. - Action **List cohorts** Lists every behavioral cohort in the Amplitude project, with each cohort's name, size and owner. - Action **Send event** Records a single event in Amplitude for a user, with optional event and user properties. - Action **Upload cohort** Creates a cohort in Amplitude from a list of users you supply. ## Each app on its own - [ **Paperless** Paperless lets you create, sign, and manage intelligent documents on a single platform.](https://apiant.ai/connections/paperless) - [ **Amplitude** Amplitude is a product analytics service that makes it easier for companies to understand user behavior...](https://apiant.ai/connections/amplitude) Reviews ## What our customers say ## More from Paperless - [ **Paperless to Google Maps Platform** APIs and SDKs for maps, geocoding, routing, places search, and location-based data in apps.](https://apiant.ai/connect/paperless-to-google-maps-platform) - [ **Paperless to Metropolitan Museum of Art** The Metropolitan Museum of Art Collection API exposes the museum's open-access catalogue of more than four...](https://apiant.ai/connect/paperless-to-metropolitan-museum-of-art) - [ **Paperless to ZUGFeRD & XRechnung by InvoiceXML** ZUGFeRD & XRechnung by InvoiceXML is a German e-invoice compliance service for creating, validating...](https://apiant.ai/connect/paperless-to-zugferd-xrechnung-by-invoicexml) - [ **Paperless to Salesforce** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/paperless-to-salesforce) - [ **Paperless to Slack** Slack is a messaging platform for teams.

Any of Paperless's 2 triggers in the catalog, including Document updated and New document created. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Amplitude when something happens in Paperless? Any of Amplitude's 12 actions, including Send event, Upload cohort, Batch upload events and Export event data. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Amplitude to Paperless? Amplitude has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Paperless. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Amplitude's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Paperless or Amplitude? 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 Paperless and Amplitude 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.
