What the Apilio connector can do
Apilio runs smart-home automation logic that connects conditions and actions across cloud-connected devices. In type.com, a facilities or operations Space can ask Claude to check the current state of boolean or numeric variables, review active conditions, or list logicblocks to understand how an automation is wired before changing it.
One connection, many Spaces
Connect Apilio once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting Apilio
Can Claude check Apilio automation state?
Yes. With an Apilio connection shared to your Space, ask Claude in a thread to check variable states, conditions, or logicblocks.
How does type.com authenticate with Apilio?
Apilio supports an API key or basic authentication. An admin configures this once on the connection and controls which Spaces can read automation data through it.
Can type.com alert us when a variable changes?
The agent can check current variable states whenever asked. For an ongoing check, such as a periodic read of a sensor, set that up as a type.com automation that posts updates to a channel.
Can Claude Code or Codex use Apilio?
Yes. Once Apilio is connected in type.com, install the type.com CLI, and Claude Code or Codex can call its tools with type-cli integrations call. Calls run with your type.com access, and the credentials stay on type.com's servers.
Can I automate Apilio on a schedule?
Yes. In a Space with Apilio connected, describe the job, and type.com proposes an automation with its trigger, schedule, and destination. Runs can start on a schedule or from a webhook, Slack, GitHub, Linear, email, or RSS, and each run leaves a thread the team can read.
Is this the same as an MCP server for Apilio?
Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
