Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running. Seafile **2** triggers Seafile **16** actions ScrapingAnt **4** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Seafile and ScrapingAnt 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.
