# Connect Paperless to Watchmode

When **Document updated** fires in [Paperless](https://apiant.ai/connections/paperless), your agent runs **Find titles by criteria** in [Watchmode](https://apiant.ai/connections/watchmode). 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 Paperless and Watchmode 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.

###

### What can your agent do in Watchmode when something happens in Paperless?

###

###

### Can my AI client use Paperless and Watchmode 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.

###
