Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Teamwork and FreeAgent 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.

Joining them means a new FreeAgent contact can become a Teamwork company, a new FreeAgent project can open a Teamwork project with a task list ready, and time entries logged in Teamwork can land back in FreeAgent as timeslips.

Yes. The agent can list the companies in Teamwork first and only create the project when the FreeAgent contact already has a matching company there. The agent tests every scenario, including the case where no company is found. ### ### How do hours logged in Teamwork reach FreeAgent? When a new time entry is added in Teamwork, the agent creates a timeslip in FreeAgent against the matching project. It uses the listed Create Timeslip action, so the hours sit with your other tracked time in FreeAgent. ### ### What can start an automation from Teamwork? Any of Teamwork's 6 triggers in the catalog, including New Company, New Time Entry, New Milestone and New Person. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in FreeAgent when something happens in Teamwork? Any of FreeAgent's 50 actions, including Create Contact, Create Timeslip, Get Contact and Create Bill. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from FreeAgent to Teamwork? Yes. When something happens in FreeAgent, your agent can act in Teamwork too. This page covers both directions: FreeAgent's triggers and Teamwork's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Teamwork or FreeAgent? 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 FreeAgent 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.
