Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Teamwork and Anthropic 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) Teamwork holds the projects, tasks, milestones and time entries your team works from, and Anthropic's Claude models can read that text and write something back. Connecting them means a new task or project in Teamwork can go straight to Claude for a draft plan, a summary or a token count, with the reply landing back on the project.

No โ€” Anthropic has no triggers, so every run starts on the Teamwork side, such as a new task, project, milestone, person, company or time entry. Claude steps then run as actions, and the reply can be written back into Teamwork as a message, task or task list. ### ### Can Claude's reply be saved back onto the Teamwork project? Yes. After a Send model a message or Anthropic agent message step, the agent can use Teamwork actions like Add Message, Create Task, Create Task List or Update Task to place the text where your team will see it. The agent tests every scenario before it goes live. ### ### What can start an automation from Teamwork? Any of Teamwork's 6 triggers in the catalog, including New Company, New Project, New Task and New Time Entry. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Anthropic when something happens in Teamwork? Any of Anthropic's 9 actions, including Count tokens in a message, Create message batch, Send model a message and Anthropic agent message. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Anthropic to Teamwork? Anthropic has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Teamwork. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Anthropic's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Teamwork or Anthropic? 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 Teamwork and Anthropic 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.
