Integration
Connect Discourse and Stax
When New Post fires in Discourse, your agent runs Create Customer in Stax, or List Payment in Stax to Create Post in Discourse. 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 Discourse and Stax 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

Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)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)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.

Questions
Discourse and Stax, answered
What can start an automation from Discourse?
Any of Discourse's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New Post and New Topic. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Stax when something happens in Discourse?
Any of Stax's 17 actions, including Create Customer, Create Item, Create Scheduled Invoice and Update customer. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Stax to Discourse?
Yes. When something happens in Stax, your agent can act in Discourse too. This page covers both directions: Stax's triggers and Discourse's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Discourse or Stax?
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 Discourse and Stax 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.
