Integration
Connect Buildkite and Grafana
When New build fires in Buildkite, your agent runs Add Team Member in Grafana, or New Dashboard in Grafana to Add annotation in Buildkite. 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.

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.

Questions
Buildkite and Grafana, answered
What can start an automation from Buildkite?
Any of Buildkite's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New build and Build finished. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Grafana when something happens in Buildkite?
Any of Grafana's 24 actions, including Create Alert Rule, Create Annotation, Create Folder and Create or Update Dashboard. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Grafana to Buildkite?
Yes. When something happens in Grafana, your agent can act in Buildkite too. This page covers both directions: Grafana's triggers and Buildkite's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Buildkite or Grafana?
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 Buildkite and Grafana 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.
