Connect Knack to Anthropic
When New View Record fires in Knack, your agent runs Anthropic agent message in Anthropic. 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.

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.

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)Knack holds the records your team works from, and Anthropic's Claude models can read those records and write something back — a summary, a draft reply, a classification. Connecting them means a new row in a Knack view can be sent to Claude and the answer stored on the record itself, so the work stays where your team already looks for it.

Everything your agent can do with Knack and Anthropic
Triggers and actions 1 trigger · 20 actions

Questions
Knack and Anthropic, answered
Which Knack records will start a run?
The trigger polls a Knack page view, so it only sees records the view exposes and respects that view's filters and access control. If a record is hidden by the view, it will not start a run.
Can Claude's answer be saved back into Knack?
Yes — after Send model a message or Anthropic agent message returns a reply, the agent can store it with Update Record, Update View Record or Create Record in Knack. The agent tests every scenario, including records with fields left empty, before it goes live.
What can start an automation from Knack?
Any of Knack's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New View Record. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Anthropic when something happens in Knack?
Any of Anthropic's 9 actions, including Anthropic agent message, Count tokens in a message, Create message batch and Get message batch. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Anthropic to Knack?
Anthropic has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Knack. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Anthropic's API documentation and adds it.
Do I have to build a connector for Knack or Anthropic?
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 Knack and Anthropic 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.
