# ITIS integrations Connect ITIS to any other app, or use it from your AI client over MCP. ITIS, the Integrated Taxonomic Information System, is a United States government authority on the scientific names of plants, animals, fungi and microbes. Its web service lets a caller search by scientific or common name, resolve a name to its Taxonomic Serial Number, retrieve a taxon's full record with rank, author, publication and taxonomic status, walk its parent and child hierarchy, and list accepted names and synonyms. No credentials required. No account needed[itis.gov](https://itis.gov/) **13** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want to automate with ITIS? Give your AI client this address. `https://mcp.apiant.ai` 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.

APIANT's MCP server at https://mcp.apiant.ai works with ITIS. Add that address to any AI client that takes a remote MCP server, sign in once in your browser, and your client can build, test and run automations that use ITIS. Nothing to install. ### ### What can your agent do in ITIS? Any of ITIS's 13 actions, including Convert LSID to TSN, Convert TSN to LSID, Find taxon by common name and Find taxon by scientific name. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Which apps can ITIS connect to? Any app in the catalog; the list on this page pairs ITIS with each of them. If the other app is missing, point your agent at its API documentation and it builds the connector. ### ### 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.
