What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.

## What do you want Relatel and OpenVan 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)

Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first.

###

### What can your agent do in OpenVan when something happens in Relatel?

Any of OpenVan's 18 actions, including Calculate route cost, Check visa requirement, Compare food prices and Find news stories. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from OpenVan to Relatel?

OpenVan has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Relatel. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads OpenVan's API documentation and adds it.

###

###

### Can my AI client use Relatel and OpenVan 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.

###
