Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want to automate with CATS? 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.

Reviews ## What our customers say Questions ## CATS, answered ### ### Is there a CATS MCP server? APIANT's MCP server at https://mcp.apiant.ai works with CATS. Add that address to any AI client that takes a remote MCP server and sign in once in your browser. Your client can then run CATS actions on demand, or have APIANT build, test and run automations that use CATS. Nothing to install. ### ### What can start an automation from CATS? Any of CATS's 14 triggers in the catalog, including Candidate Updated, Company Status Changed, Company Updated and Contact Status Changed. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in CATS? Any of CATS's 21 actions, including Create a Company, Create a Contact, Create a Job and Create a Task. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can I use CATS directly from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor? Yes. Connect your AI client to APIANT once and it works with CATS two ways. Ask it to do something in CATS 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 on its own. A one-off action uses your plan's tasks the same way an automation step does. ### ### Do I need to write code against the CATS API? No. APIANT connects to the CATS API for you, with your CATS API key. Describe what you want in plain language and your agent builds it on the CATS triggers and actions in the catalog. If you need an endpoint that is not there yet, your agent reads the CATS API documentation and adds it. ### ### Which apps can CATS connect to? Any app in the catalog; the list on this page pairs CATS with each of them. If the other app is missing, point your agent at its API documentation and it builds the connector. ### ### 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.
