Grafana **1** trigger Grafana **24** actions SimplyPrint **56** triggers SimplyPrint **42** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Grafana and SimplyPrint 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.

Any of Grafana's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Dashboard. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in SimplyPrint when something happens in Grafana? Any of SimplyPrint's 42 actions, including Create Filament, Create Folder, Create Printer Group and Create Queue Group. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from SimplyPrint to Grafana? Yes. When something happens in SimplyPrint, your agent can act in Grafana too. This page covers both directions: SimplyPrint's triggers and Grafana's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Grafana or SimplyPrint? 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 Grafana and SimplyPrint 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.
