Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running. Snowflake **5** triggers Snowflake **5** actions AI Engine **8** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Snowflake and AI Engine 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.

Describe the flow you need, at any depth, and your agent builds it and tests every scenario before it ships. Everything your agent can do with Snowflake and AI Engine ## Triggers and actions 5 triggers · 13 actions - Trigger **New Column** Triggers when a new column is added to a table in the chosen Snowflake database, optionally limited to one schema or table. - Trigger **New or Updated Row** Triggers when a row is added to or changed in a Snowflake table, checking the most recently updated rows by a timestamp column you choose. - Trigger **New Row** Triggers when a new row is added to a Snowflake table. - Trigger **New Table** Triggers when a new table is created in a Snowflake database. - Trigger **New View** Triggers when a new view is created in the selected Snowflake database (optionally limited to one schema). - Action **Create Rows** Inserts one or more rows into a Snowflake table. - Action **Delete Rows** Deletes every row in a Snowflake table whose chosen column equals the value you supply. - Action **Execute SQL** Runs a SQL statement in Snowflake and returns its result rows and column metadata. - Action **Find Row** Finds the first row in a Snowflake table whose chosen column equals a given value and returns its column values. - Action **Update Rows** Updates a column's value on every row in a Snowflake table whose match column equals the given value. - Action **Add facial repository** Creates a new facial repository for storing and searching faces. - Action **Analyze faces** Analyzes the faces in an image and returns attributes such as estimated age, gender and emotions. - Action **Compare faces** Compares the face in a source image with the faces in a target image and returns how similar they are. - Action **Detect labels** Detects and categorizes the content of an image, returning labels with confidence scores. - Action **Detect objects** Detects and locates objects in an image, returning their labels, confidence scores and bounding boxes. - Action **Detect unsafe content** Checks an image for explicit or unsafe content and returns the moderation labels with confidence scores. - Action **Extract text from image** Extracts the text found in an image (OCR), including handwriting, receipts and complex layouts in 100+ languages. - Action **Extract text from PDF** Extracts the text from a PDF document, optionally limited to a range of pages. ## Each app on its own - [ **Snowflake** Snowflake allows corporate users to store and analyze data using cloud-based hardware and software.](https://apiant.ai/connections/snowflake) - [ **AI Engine** 36+ AI endpoints: OCR, face detection, background removal, object detection, NSFW moderation, face swap...](https://apiant.ai/connections/ai-engine) Reviews ## What our customers say ## More from Snowflake - [ **Snowflake to Stripe** Stripe is a payment processing platform for online businesses.](https://apiant.ai/connect/snowflake-to-stripe) - [ **Snowflake to Trello** Trello is a visual collaboration tool that organizes projects into boards, lists, and cards.](https://apiant.ai/connect/snowflake-to-trello) - [ **Snowflake to Zoom** Zoom unifies cloud video conferencing, simple online meetings, group messaging, and a software-based...](https://apiant.ai/connect/snowflake-to-zoom) - [ **Snowflake to Twilio** Cloud communications platform for sending SMS/MMS messages, making and managing voice calls, and looking up...](https://apiant.ai/connect/snowflake-to-twilio) - [ **Snowflake to Typeform** Build and publish online forms, surveys, and quizzes with Typeform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/snowflake-to-typeform) - [ **Snowflake to Webflow** Webflow is a professional website builder and CMS for designing, building, and launching responsive...](https://apiant.ai/connect/snowflake-to-webflow) ## More into AI Engine - [ **HubSpot to AI Engine** HubSpot is your all-in-one stop for all of your marketing software needs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/hubspot-to-ai-engine) - [ **Salesforce to AI Engine** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/salesforce-to-ai-engine) - [ **Slack to AI Engine** Slack is a messaging platform for teams.

Any of Snowflake's 5 triggers in the catalog, including New Column, New or Updated Row, New Row and New Table. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in AI Engine when something happens in Snowflake? Any of AI Engine's 8 actions, including Add facial repository, Analyze faces, Compare faces and Detect labels. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from AI Engine to Snowflake? AI Engine has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Snowflake. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads AI Engine's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Snowflake or AI Engine? 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 Snowflake and AI Engine 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.
