## What do you want Parseur and BBC iPlayer Business Layer 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.

Questions

## Parseur and BBC iPlayer Business Layer, answered

###

### What can start an automation from Parseur?

Any of Parseur's 6 triggers in the catalog, including New Document Export Failed, New Document Not Processed, New Document Processed and New Document Processed (With List Items). Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

###

### What can your agent do in BBC iPlayer Business Layer when something happens in Parseur?

Any of BBC iPlayer Business Layer's 7 actions, including Get channel schedule, Get episode, Get programme and List categories. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from BBC iPlayer Business Layer to Parseur?

BBC iPlayer Business Layer has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Parseur. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads BBC iPlayer Business Layer's API documentation and adds it.

###

### Do I have to build a connector for Parseur or BBC iPlayer Business Layer?

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 Parseur and BBC iPlayer Business Layer 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.
