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 of Tally's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Submission. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Dropbox when something happens in Tally? Any of Dropbox's 21 actions, including Create Folder, Create Shared Link, Upload file and Upload File from URL. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Dropbox to Tally? Dropbox has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Tally. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Dropbox's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Tally or Dropbox? 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 Tally and Dropbox without building an automation? Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in Dropbox 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.
