Integration
Connect Bitly and SQL Server
When New Bitlink in Group fires in Bitly, your agent runs Add Row in SQL Server, or New or Updated Row in SQL Server to Update a User in Bitly. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.
What do you want Bitly and SQL Server to do together?
Ask the assistant
Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne 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.aiStart Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.
Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)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)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)Zed
Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)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)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.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)If you shorten campaign links in Bitly but keep the campaign records themselves in SQL Server, joining the two lets each system feed the other. New rows in SQL Server can become Bitlinks and QR codes, and new Bitlinks or tags in Bitly can be written into your tables so reporting queries see them without anyone copying links by hand.

Questions
Bitly and SQL Server, answered
Can the short link be written back into the same SQL Server row that created it?
Yes. The new row in SQL Server triggers the run, Bitly creates the Bitlink, and an Update Row action changes the column on the row whose key matches, so the link sits beside the campaign record it belongs to.
What happens when a campaign is retired in SQL Server?
You can write a SELECT statement that returns retired campaign rows, and each new or changed row it returns can trigger a Delete a Bitlink action in Bitly. The agent tests every scenario before it goes live, including rows that have no Bitlink recorded.
What can start an automation from Bitly?
Any of Bitly's 8 triggers in the catalog, including New Bitlink in Group, New Tag in Group, New Branded Short Domain and New Channel. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in SQL Server when something happens in Bitly?
Any of SQL Server's 7 actions, including Add Row, Run Custom Statement, Update Row and Find Row. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from SQL Server to Bitly?
Yes. When something happens in SQL Server, your agent can act in Bitly too. This page covers both directions: SQL Server's triggers and Bitly's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Bitly or SQL Server?
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 Bitly and SQL Server 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.
