Install the Plugin
Install the APIANT plugin into a Claude Code project. About 2 minutes from clicking Connect to Claude Code in APIANT to skills loading.
In APIANT, select the Connect to Claude Code menu option to get an install command. Paste it in the terminal of the project directory you want APIANT skills available in, and restart Claude Code.
Prerequisites
- Claude Code installed (install Claude Code).
- Node.js 18 or newer on
PATH.
You need the Switch Account permission on your APIANT account. Without it, Connect to Claude Code silently doesn't appear in the menu. Ask your administrator if you don't have it.
Install
- In APIANT, open the automation editor or assembly editor menu and select Connect to Claude Code. A dialog opens with a one-line install command.
- Open a terminal and
cdinto the project directory you want APIANT skills available in. - Paste the install command and run it.
- Restart Claude Code from that directory.
Each project directory is its own install. A typical pattern for consultants is one directory per customer — open Connect to Claude Code from each customer's APIANT instance, install in that customer's directory, and the skills follow you when you cd between them.
The install command's token expires after 5 minutes. If yours does, select the Connect to Claude Code menu option again for a fresh one.
Verify
In Claude Code, ask Claude to do something APIANT-flavored — "list my recent automations" — and confirm a skill responds.
Updates
When APIANT releases a new plugin version, Claude warns you at session start and walks you through the update when you ask.
Troubleshooting
Skills don't load after install. You're in a different directory than the one you ran the install command in. cd into the right directory and run claude again. If skills still don't appear, ask Claude to repair the plugin.
The install command reports an expired or invalid token. Tokens are single-use and live for 5 minutes. Select the Connect to Claude Code menu option again for a fresh one.
Connect to Claude Code isn't in the APIANT menu. Your APIANT account is missing the Switch Account permission. Have your administrator grant it.
