Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

## What do you want PocketSmith and SendGrid 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

## PocketSmith and SendGrid, answered

###

### What can start an automation from PocketSmith?

Any of PocketSmith's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New transaction. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

###

### What can your agent do in SendGrid when something happens in PocketSmith?

Any of SendGrid's 10 actions, including Create custom field, Create list, Create or update contact and Create or update recipient. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from SendGrid to PocketSmith?

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

###

### Do I have to build a connector for PocketSmith or SendGrid?

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 PocketSmith and SendGrid 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.
