Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running. Slack **15** triggers Slack **60** actions PagerDuty **2** triggers PagerDuty **26** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Slack and PagerDuty 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) PagerDuty knows who is on call and what is broken; Slack is where the people fixing it are already talking. Connecting them means an incident in PagerDuty can open a channel, name the responder and post the details, while a reaction or mention in Slack can acknowledge, resolve or pull extra responders into the PagerDuty incident.

Yes. A reaction added to a message or a keyword mention in Slack can run Update Incident to acknowledge or resolve it, or Add Responders to pull in another user or escalation policy. The agent tests each scenario with a real incident before it goes live. ### ### How does the agent know which Slack channel or person to post to? It can use List On-Calls or Get Service in PagerDuty to find the responder, then Find User by Email or Find Channel by Name in Slack to resolve the destination. If no match is found, you decide whether it posts to a fallback channel instead. ### ### What can start an automation from Slack? Any of Slack's 15 triggers in the catalog, including New Mention (instant), New Reaction Added, New Channel and New Channel (instant). Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in PagerDuty when something happens in Slack? Any of PagerDuty's 26 actions, including Add Responders, List On-Calls, Update Incident and Create Incident. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from PagerDuty to Slack? Yes. When something happens in PagerDuty, your agent can act in Slack too. This page covers both directions: PagerDuty's triggers and Slack's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Slack or PagerDuty? 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 Slack and PagerDuty 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.
