Integration
Connect BriefTape and Discourse
When New news story fires in BriefTape, your agent runs Create Post in Discourse, or New Post in Discourse to Find news stories by ticker in BriefTape. 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 BriefTape and Discourse 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

Questions
BriefTape and Discourse, answered
What can start an automation from BriefTape?
Any of BriefTape's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New news story. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Discourse when something happens in BriefTape?
Any of Discourse's 24 actions, including Create Category, Create Post, Create Topic and Create User. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Discourse to BriefTape?
Yes. When something happens in Discourse, your agent can act in BriefTape too. This page covers both directions: Discourse's triggers and BriefTape's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for BriefTape or Discourse?
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 BriefTape and Discourse 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.
