## What do you want Twilio and Fergus 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.

###

### What can your agent do in Fergus when something happens in Twilio?

###

### Can it also run from Fergus to Twilio?

Fergus has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Twilio. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Fergus's API documentation and adds it.

###

### Do I have to build a connector for Twilio or Fergus?

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 Twilio and Fergus 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.

###
