What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.

Connect your AI client

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.

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.

Gmail is where requests for paperwork arrive and where signed copies get confirmed; Paperless is where those documents are built from templates and sent to recipients. Connecting the two means an email can create the right Paperless document, and a document change in Paperless can reach the people involved through Gmail without anyone retyping names or addresses.

Questions

Gmail and Paperless, answered

Can a document be created in Paperless straight from an incoming email?

Yes. A new Gmail message can trigger a run that lists your Paperless templates, picks the right one and creates a document from it with the sender set as recipient. The agent tests every scenario, including emails that match no template, before anything goes live.

Will Paperless activity show up back in Gmail?

It can. Both the new document created and document updated events in Paperless can send an email or prepare a draft in Gmail for the recipient or the internal owner. You decide the wording, the address and whether it is sent or left as a draft for review.

What can start an automation from Gmail?

Any of Gmail's 2 triggers in the catalog, including Email Sent and New Gmail Message. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

What can your agent do in Paperless when something happens in Gmail?

Any of Paperless's 6 actions, including Create Document (From Template), List Templates, Update Document and Get Document. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

Can it also run from Paperless to Gmail?

Yes. When something happens in Paperless, your agent can act in Gmail too. This page covers both directions: Paperless's triggers and Gmail's actions are listed here as well.

Do I have to build a connector for Gmail or Paperless?

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 Gmail and Paperless 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.
