Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running. Seafile **2** triggers Seafile **16** actions Zulip **2** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Seafile and Zulip 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. [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. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### 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)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### 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.

Connecting the two means a new contract, export or design dropped into a Seafile library can be announced in the right Zulip stream, or sent straight to the person who needs to look at it, with the file name and folder in the message.

Yes. The Seafile trigger passes the file name and path, and Get file info adds size and modified time, so you can put any of those into a stream or private message in Zulip. ### ### Does editing an existing file in Seafile trigger a message? Use the New or Updated File trigger, which fires when a file is added or its content changes. The plain New File trigger only fires once per file name and path, so re-saving the same file will not send another Zulip message. ### ### What can start an automation from Seafile? Any of Seafile's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New File and New or Updated File. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Zulip when something happens in Seafile? Any of Zulip's 2 actions, including Send a Private Message and Send a Stream Message. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Zulip to Seafile? Zulip has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Seafile. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Zulip's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Seafile or Zulip? 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 Seafile and Zulip 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.
