Integration
Connect OpenAI and SQL Server
When New batch fires in OpenAI, your agent runs Add Row in SQL Server, or New or Updated Row in SQL Server to Create message in OpenAI. 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 OpenAI and SQL Server 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
Claude Code
Run this in the directory you want to work in.
claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.aiStart Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.
Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)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)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)Zed
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.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Connecting OpenAI and SQL Server lets the data already sitting in your tables drive model work, and lets the results land back in those same tables. A row added or changed in SQL Server can be sent to OpenAI for a summary, an embedding or spoken audio, and new files, batches or videos in OpenAI can be recorded as rows you can query later.

Questions
OpenAI and SQL Server, answered
Can I decide which rows get sent to OpenAI?
Yes. You can trigger on a SELECT statement you write with New or Updated Row (Custom Query), so only rows matching your conditions reach OpenAI, or add a Find Row step first and continue only when the linked record exists.
Where do the model's replies end up in SQL Server?
Wherever you point them. A reply from Create chat completion or Send model a message can go into a new row with Add Row, onto an existing record with Update Row, or through a statement you write with Run Custom Statement.
What can start an automation from OpenAI?
Any of OpenAI's 5 triggers in the catalog, including New batch, New file, New model and New vector store. 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 OpenAI?
Any of SQL Server's 7 actions, including Update Row, Add Row, Find 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 OpenAI?
Yes. When something happens in SQL Server, your agent can act in OpenAI too. This page covers both directions: SQL Server's triggers and OpenAI's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for OpenAI 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 OpenAI 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.
