When **Asset Updated** fires in [Shade](https://apiant.ai/connections/shade), your agent runs **Create Customer** in [Wheelbase](https://apiant.ai/connections/wheelbase), or **New Customer** in Wheelbase to **Copy a File** in Shade. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

## What do you want Shade and Wheelbase 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.
