Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running. SendGrid **4** triggers SendGrid **10** actions LiveChat **20** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want SendGrid and LiveChat 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) ### Claude, web and desktop Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Cursor Add the address to your MCP configuration as a server URL. Cursor signs you in in your browser. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Zed Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app Open Settings, then MCP servers, then Add server, and choose Streamable HTTP. From the terminal, Codex takes the address with its own add command and then signs you in. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Any other MCP client 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. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) SendGrid handles the email side and LiveChat handles live conversations, but delivery problems rarely reach the agents who talk to customers. Connecting them means a bounce or an unsubscribe recorded in SendGrid can show up as a LiveChat customer record, a chat, a message or a tag, so agents know an address is no longer reachable.

No, LiveChat has no triggers available here, so every flow begins with a SendGrid event such as a new bounce, a new suppressed email or a new or updated recipient. LiveChat then does the work, like creating a customer, starting a chat, sending a message or tagging a chat thread. ### ### Can we check the contact in SendGrid before bothering an agent in LiveChat? Yes, the agent can use Get contact by email in SendGrid as a lookup step and continue only when a marketing contact comes back. If nothing is found, no chat is started in LiveChat, and the agent tests every scenario before the flow goes live. ### ### What can start an automation from SendGrid? Any of SendGrid's 4 triggers in the catalog, including New bounce, New global suppression, New or updated recipient and New suppressed email. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in LiveChat when something happens in SendGrid? Any of LiveChat's 20 actions, including Tag Chat Thread, Update Customer, Create Agent and Create Customer. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from LiveChat to SendGrid? LiveChat has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in SendGrid. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads LiveChat's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for SendGrid or LiveChat? 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 SendGrid and LiveChat 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.
