Integration
Connect Twilio and OpenAI
When New Call fires in Twilio, your agent runs Send model a message in OpenAI, or New vector store in OpenAI to List Messages 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 OpenAI 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 carries the texts and calls your team handles every day, and OpenAI can read, classify and answer that text. Connecting them lets an inbound SMS be checked for abusive content, matched against your own notes in a vector store, or turned into a drafted reply, while call records feed follow-up notes. The agent builds the whole flow and tests every scenario.

Questions
Twilio and OpenAI, answered
Can the agent hide an abusive message after OpenAI flags it?
Yes. The content moderation action in OpenAI returns the categories a message was flagged for, and Twilio's update message action can redact or replace the text of that message in your logs. The agent tests both scenarios, flagged and clean.
Can I answer inbound texts using our own support notes?
Yes, if those notes are in an OpenAI vector store. The new message received trigger in Twilio can start a search of the vector store, and the resulting chunks can feed a chat completion that drafts the reply text.
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 OpenAI when something happens in Twilio?
Any of OpenAI's 69 actions, including Content moderation, Search vector store, Send model a message and Create assistant. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from OpenAI to Twilio?
Yes. When something happens in OpenAI, your agent can act in Twilio too. This page covers both directions: OpenAI's triggers and Twilio's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Twilio or OpenAI?
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 OpenAI 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.
