Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running. Bitly **8** triggers Bitly **25** actions JIRA **2** triggers JIRA **138** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Bitly and JIRA to do together? 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.

Yes. After the agent creates the Bitlink in Bitly it can post it with Add Comment to Issue and write it into a field with Update Issue, so the link sits on the issue that asked for it. ### ### What happens when a Jira issue changes after the Bitlink already exists? The New or Updated Issue trigger picks up the change and the agent can run Update Bitlink in Bitly to correct the title, tags or archived state. The destination URL itself is not changed by that action. ### ### What can start an automation from Bitly? Any of Bitly's 8 triggers in the catalog, including New Bitlink in Group, New Group, New Branded Short Domain and New Channel. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in JIRA when something happens in Bitly? Any of JIRA's 138 actions, including Create Issue, Create project, Get Project and Create component. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from JIRA to Bitly? Yes. When something happens in JIRA, your agent can act in Bitly too. This page covers both directions: JIRA's triggers and Bitly's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Bitly or JIRA? 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 Bitly and JIRA 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.
