Questions

Clearly Defined, answered

Is there a Clearly Defined MCP server?

APIANT's MCP server at https://mcp.apiant.ai works with Clearly Defined. Add that address to any AI client that takes a remote MCP server, sign in once in your browser, and your client can build, test and run automations that use Clearly Defined. Nothing to install.

What can your agent do in Clearly Defined?

Any of Clearly Defined's 6 actions, including Find definitions by pattern, Generate notice file, Get curation and Get definition. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

Which apps can Clearly Defined connect to?

Any app in the catalog; the list on this page pairs Clearly Defined 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.
