Reviews ## What our customers say Questions ## The Old Reader, answered ### ### Is there a The Old Reader MCP server? APIANT's MCP server at https://mcp.apiant.ai works with The Old Reader. 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 The Old Reader actions on demand, or have APIANT build, test and run automations that use The Old Reader. Nothing to install. ### ### What can start an automation from The Old Reader? Any of The Old Reader's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New item. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in The Old Reader? Any of The Old Reader's 12 actions, including Update folder, Update item, Update subscription and Add subscription. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can I use The Old Reader directly from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor? Yes. Connect your AI client to APIANT once and it works with The Old Reader two ways. Ask it to do something in The Old Reader 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 The Old Reader API? No. APIANT connects to the The Old Reader API for you, with your The Old Reader API key. Describe what you want in plain language and your agent builds it on the The Old Reader triggers and actions in the catalog. If you need an endpoint that is not there yet, your agent reads the The Old Reader API documentation and adds it. ### ### Which apps can The Old Reader connect to? Any app in the catalog; the list on this page pairs The Old Reader 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.
