Integration
Connect Bitly and OpenAI
When New Bitlink in Group fires in Bitly, your agent runs Send model a message in OpenAI, or New file in OpenAI to Update a User in Bitly. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.
What do you want Bitly and OpenAI to do together?
Ask the assistant
Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne 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

Run this in the directory you want to work in.

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)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)Bitly holds your short links, QR codes and click data; OpenAI writes and reads text on demand. Joined, a new Bitlink can be expanded, described by a model and updated with a proper title and tags, and new files or videos in OpenAI can be handed straight to Bitly for shortening. You describe what should happen, the agent builds it and tests each scenario.

Questions
Bitly and OpenAI, answered
Can the title on a Bitlink be written by OpenAI?
Yes. A new Bitlink in a group can be expanded to get its destination URL, passed to a chat completion in OpenAI, and the reply written back with Update Bitlink. You can say it should only run when the Bitlink has no title yet.
What can start a run on the OpenAI side?
OpenAI can trigger on a new file, model, batch, vector store or video, and those runs can create or shorten a link in Bitly. For example, a new video in OpenAI can have its link shortened with Shorten a Link.
What can start an automation from Bitly?
Any of Bitly's 8 triggers in the catalog, including New Bitlink in Group, New Branded Short Domain, New Tag in Group and New Channel. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in OpenAI when something happens in Bitly?
Any of OpenAI's 69 actions, including Create embedding, Send model a message, Create assistant and Create chat completion. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from OpenAI to Bitly?
Yes. When something happens in OpenAI, your agent can act in Bitly too. This page covers both directions: OpenAI's triggers and Bitly's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Bitly or OpenAI?
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 OpenAI 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.
