Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want LeanKit and Outlign 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 LeanKit's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New board, New card and New card in lane. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Outlign when something happens in LeanKit? Any of Outlign's 13 actions, including Create Client, Create Milestone, Create Project and Create Section. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Outlign to LeanKit? Yes. When something happens in Outlign, your agent can act in LeanKit too. This page covers both directions: Outlign's triggers and LeanKit's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for LeanKit or Outlign? 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 LeanKit and Outlign 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.
