Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Discord and SQL Server 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. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app 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)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### 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)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) Discord is where your community and team talk; SQL Server holds the records behind those conversations. Joining them lets a Discord message, join or role change write to a table, and lets new or changed rows in SQL Server show up as channel messages, forum replies or direct messages to the right person.

Yes. A Discord trigger can run Find Row or Find Row via Custom Query against your SQL Server database first, and the rest of the scenario only continues when a matching row comes back. The agent tests every scenario, including the case where no row is found. ### ### How does SQL Server data reach the right place in Discord? A New Row, New or Updated Row or custom query trigger in SQL Server can feed Send Channel Message, Send Direct Message, Send message in Forum Post or Add Role in Discord. You choose the channel, user or forum post, and which columns go into the message text. ### ### What can start an automation from Discord? Any of Discord's 7 triggers in the catalog, including New Forum Post, New User Added, Role Assigned to User and New Forum Message. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in SQL Server when something happens in Discord? Any of SQL Server's 7 actions, including Add Row, Find Row, Update Row and Find Rows via Custom Query. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from SQL Server to Discord? Yes. When something happens in SQL Server, your agent can act in Discord too. This page covers both directions: SQL Server's triggers and Discord's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Discord or SQL Server? 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 Discord and SQL Server 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.
