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.

Describe the flow you need, at any depth, and your agent builds it and tests every scenario before it ships. Everything your agent can do with Doclift PDF and ITIS ## Triggers and actions 1 trigger · 24 actions - Trigger **New PDF Document Generated** Webhook trigger for Doclift's async document-generation completion callback (POST.../webhooks/doclift, X-Doclift-Signature: sha256=hmac). Delivery URL is configured manually on the external application in the Doclift dashboard — no register/list/delete API exists. Fires once per document_request (all its documents_generations resolved to success/error), payload includes id, tag, type, timestamp, documents_generations[] (generation_status, file{filename,url,size}). - Action **Add Template** create a custom (HTML-body) template: title, description, content, orientation, margins, optional variables_attributes. Server forces category=custom. - Action **Add Variable** create a variable on a custom template: title (unique, naming pattern), description, field_type (text/checkbox/radio/select/collection, default text), seed_value, allowed_values. - Action **Delete Template** removes a custom template (scope restricted to category=custom, non-archived, same org). - Action **Get Document Request** status and documents_generations detail (signed file url, valid 2 hours) for one document request. - Action **Get Template** full template detail including variables and content (custom templates); works for any published template of the three categories. - Action **List Document Requests** list document generation requests with id, tag, type, status, documents_generations (each with generation_status and file url). - Action **List Templates** returns published, non-archived templates (custom/fillable_form/workflow) for the organization: id, title, description. - Action **List Variables** all variables of a custom, non-archived template: id, title, description, field_type, allowed_values (no pagination, no seed_value). - Action **Publish Template** marks a custom template published (usable for document generation). - Action **Unpublish Template** marks a custom template unpublished. - Action **Update Variable** update description/field_type/allowed_values/title of a variable; allowed_values replaces the stored array. - Action **Convert LSID to TSN** Get the TSN for a given LSID (Life Science Identifier). - Action **Convert TSN to LSID** Get the LSID (Life Science Identifier) for a given TSN. - Action **Find taxon by common name** Search ITIS for taxa matching a common (vernacular) name. - Action **Find taxon by scientific name** Search ITIS for taxa matching a scientific name. - Action **Find taxon by search term** Search ITIS across scientific and common names for any matching term. - Action **Get accepted names** Get the currently accepted scientific name(s) for a given TSN, when the queried TSN is not itself accepted. - Action **Get common names** Get the common (vernacular) names associated with a given TSN. - Action **Get full hierarchy** Get the complete taxonomic hierarchy (ancestors and descendants) for a given TSN. - Action **Get full record** Get the complete taxonomic record for a given TSN (taxonomic serial number). - Action **Get hierarchy down** Get the taxonomic hierarchy below (children of) a given TSN. - Action **Get hierarchy up** Get the taxonomic hierarchy above (ancestors of) a given TSN. - Action **Get parent taxon** Get the parent TSN for a given TSN. - Action **Get synonym names** Get the synonym scientific names associated with a given TSN. ## Each app on its own - [ **Doclift PDF** Doclift PDF is PDF-as-a-service for your platform to create dynamic PDFs with the online editor or generate...](https://apiant.ai/connections/doclift-pdf) - [ **ITIS** ITIS, the Integrated Taxonomic Information System, is a United States government authority on the scientific...](https://apiant.ai/connections/itis) Reviews ## What our customers say ## More from Doclift PDF - [ **Doclift PDF to Dungeons and Dragons** The D&D 5th Edition API (dnd5eapi.co) is a public reference database for the Dungeons and Dragons 5e System...](https://apiant.ai/connect/doclift-pdf-to-dungeons-and-dragons) - [ **Doclift PDF to FutureAGI** FutureAGI is a platform for evaluating and optimizing AI systems to ensure performance, safety, and...](https://apiant.ai/connect/doclift-pdf-to-futureagi) - [ **Doclift PDF to ItsThisForThat** ItsThisForThat generates random "X for Y" startup ideas — the classic mashup pitch format.](https://apiant.ai/connect/doclift-pdf-to-itsthisforthat) - [ **Doclift PDF to HubSpot** HubSpot is your all-in-one stop for all of your marketing software needs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/doclift-pdf-to-hubspot) - [ **Doclift PDF to Salesforce** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/doclift-pdf-to-salesforce) - [ **Doclift PDF to Slack** Slack is a messaging platform for teams.

Any of Doclift PDF's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New PDF Document Generated. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in ITIS when something happens in Doclift PDF? Any of ITIS's 13 actions, including Convert LSID to TSN, Convert TSN to LSID, Find taxon by common name and Find taxon by scientific name. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from ITIS to Doclift PDF? ITIS has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Doclift PDF. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads ITIS's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Doclift PDF or ITIS? 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 Doclift PDF and ITIS 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.
