--- title: "OpenAI API integrations over MCP - APIANT.ai" description: "Use your OpenAI API key in APIANT automations: chat completions, embeddings, images and speech, built and tested by your agent from your AI client." canonical: "https://apiant.ai/connections/openai" --- # Connect OpenAI to any app Connecting OpenAI to APIANT puts chat completions, embeddings, image generation, speech and the rest of the OpenAI platform into automations your AI client builds for you. For example: when a new HubSpot contact arrives, draft a welcome note with a chat completion and send it to a Slack channel. Connects with an API key [openai.com](https://openai.com/) **5** triggers **69** 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 OpenAI? 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. 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. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) Ask in plain language and your agent picks the OpenAI operations, maps the fields both ways, and tests every scenario before the automation runs. Build from the assistant inside APIANT, or from your own AI client over MCP. Either way the automation lands in the same account, and the free plan covers both.

APIANT's MCP server at https://mcp.apiant.ai works with OpenAI. Add that address to any AI client that takes a remote MCP server, Claude Code included, sign in once in your browser, and your client can build, test and run automations that use OpenAI's triggers and actions. Nothing to install, and calls over MCP use no assistant credits. ### ### How does OpenAI authentication work? You paste an API key from your OpenAI platform account into the connect dialog on the Connections page. The key is stored encrypted, and no other APIANT account can use it. ### ### Where do I get the OpenAI API key? From the API keys page of your OpenAI platform account. Create a key, paste it into the OpenAI connect dialog in APIANT, and every OpenAI step in your automations uses it. Usage is billed by OpenAI to that account. ### ### What can start an automation from OpenAI? Any of OpenAI's 5 triggers in the catalog, including New batch, New file, New model and New vector store. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in OpenAI? Any of OpenAI's 69 actions, including Create assistant, Create chat completion, Create completion and Create embedding. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can I use OpenAI directly from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor? Yes. Connect your AI client to APIANT once and it works with OpenAI two ways. Ask it to do something in OpenAI 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 on its own. A one-off action uses your plan's tasks the same way an automation step does. ### ### Do I need to write code against the OpenAI API? No. APIANT connects to the OpenAI API for you, with your OpenAI API key. Describe what you want in plain language and your agent builds it on the OpenAI triggers and actions in the catalog. If you need an endpoint that is not there yet, your agent reads the OpenAI API documentation and adds it. ### ### Which apps can OpenAI connect to? Any app in the catalog; the list on this page pairs OpenAI 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.
