[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) Beanstalk holds your repositories, users and SSH keys; Knack holds the database your team actually looks at. Connecting them means new Beanstalk repositories and users show up as Knack records, and records added through a Knack view can create repositories or register a public key in Beanstalk. The agent builds the flow, tests every scenario and keeps it running.

Yes. The New View Record trigger in Knack fires when a record appears in a page view, and the agent can then run Create Repository in Beanstalk using the fields that view exposes. ### ### How do we avoid duplicate people records in Knack? Before creating anything, the agent can use List Records or Get Record in Knack to check whether the Beanstalk user already has a row. It only runs Create Record when no match comes back, and uses Update Record otherwise. ### ### What can start an automation from Beanstalk? Any of Beanstalk's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New Repository and New User. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Knack when something happens in Beanstalk? Any of Knack's 11 actions, including Create Record, Create View Record, List Records and Update Record. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Knack to Beanstalk? Yes. When something happens in Knack, your agent can act in Beanstalk too. This page covers both directions: Knack's triggers and Beanstalk's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Beanstalk or Knack? 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 Beanstalk and Knack 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.
