Integration
Connect Twilio and MySQL
When New Call fires in Twilio, your agent runs Add Row in MySQL, or New or Updated Row in MySQL to Update Message in Twilio. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.
What do you want Twilio and MySQL to do together?
Ask the assistant
Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne 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.aiStart Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.
Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)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)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)Zed
Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)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)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)Twilio handles the calls and texts; MySQL holds the customer and order tables your team actually works from. Connecting them means an inbound message or call can be matched against a row in your database, and changes in your tables can trigger a phone number lookup or a number setting update in Twilio. The agent builds the flow, tests every scenario and keeps it running.

Everything your agent can do with Twilio and MySQL
Triggers and actions 8 triggers ยท 17 actions
- New Call
Polls for voice calls on your Twilio account.
- New Incoming Call
Fires instantly when the selected Twilio phone number receives a call.
- New Message Received
Polls for inbound SMS/MMS messages received by your Twilio account.
- New SMS received
Fires instantly when the selected Twilio phone number receives an SMS/MMS. Activating the automation points the number's incoming-message webhook at this automation; deactivating clears it.
- Delete Message
Deletes a message from your Twilio account's message logs.
- Find available phone numbers by criteria
Returns up to 50 phone numbers available to buy in a country that match the specified criteria (area code, pattern, capabilities, location).
- Get Call
Retrieves details of a single voice call by its Call SID.
- Get Message
Retrieves a single SMS/MMS message by its Message SID.
- List Calls
Lists voice calls on the account, optionally filtered by To, From, or status.
- List Messages
Lists SMS/MMS messages on the account, optionally filtered by To, From, or date sent.
- List Phone Numbers

Schedules an SMS or MMS message to be sent later through one of your Messaging Services. A scheduled message can be canceled with Update Message until it is sent.
- Update Message
Updates a Twilio Message: replaces or redacts its text, or cancels a scheduled message that has not been sent yet.
- Update Phone Number
Update settings (voice/SMS URLs, friendly name) of an owned incoming phone number.
- New or Updated Row
Triggers when a new row is added or modified.
- New or Updated Row (Custom Query)
Fires for each new or changed row returned by a SELECT statement you write against the connected MySQL database.
- New Row
Triggers when you add a new row.

Fires when a new table appears in the connected MySQL database.
- Add Row
Adds a new row.
- Delete Row
Delete the rows in a table whose chosen column equals a value.
- Find Row
Finds a row in a table via a lookup column.
- Find Rows via Custom Query
Run an author-written SELECT against the connected MySQL database and return every row it produced. Mirrors PostgreSQL 715ae2ac, SQL Server 8e0bbb5d and Oracle 2c308e4d; MySQL placeholder style is ?.
- Find Row via Custom Query
Runs a SELECT statement you write against the connected MySQL database and returns the first row it matches.
- Update Row

Questions
Twilio and MySQL, answered
Can a text message from an unknown number create a record in my database?
Yes. The New Message Received trigger in Twilio can run Find Row in MySQL to check for a match, and Add Row when nothing comes back. You can also include a Twilio phone number lookup so the new row carries carrier and line type.
Can my database drive changes to Twilio numbers?
Yes. A New Row or New or Updated Row trigger in MySQL can run Update Phone Number, Lookup Phone Number or Find available phone numbers by criteria in Twilio. The values written into the row decide what gets sent across.
What can start an automation from Twilio?
Any of Twilio's 4 triggers in the catalog, including New Call, New Message Received, New Incoming Call and New SMS received. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in MySQL when something happens in Twilio?
Any of MySQL's 6 actions, including Add Row, Find Row, Update Row and Find Rows via Custom Query. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from MySQL to Twilio?
Yes. When something happens in MySQL, your agent can act in Twilio too. This page covers both directions: MySQL's triggers and Twilio's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Twilio or MySQL?
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 MySQL 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.
