## What do you want Pipedrive and Twilio 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.

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

## Pipedrive and Twilio, answered

###

### Can I check a phone number before a rep starts calling?

###

### What can start an automation from Pipedrive?

Any of Pipedrive's 6 triggers in the catalog, including New Activity, New Deal, New Organization and New Person. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

###

### What can your agent do in Twilio when something happens in Pipedrive?

Any of Twilio's 11 actions, including List Calls, Lookup Phone Number, Update Message and Update Phone Number. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can my AI client use Pipedrive and Twilio without building an automation?

Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
