Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Kantata OX API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Kantata OX API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Kantata OX API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Professional Services Automation Sync

Keep a services firm's identity, role, and rate data in sync between Kantata OX and an HRIS or finance system. Account memberships, roles, and rates exposed through the API let downstream systems mirror the staffing model and run accurate margin reporting. Integration is typically a few days for nightly syncs against a stable contract since /account_memberships and /rates support filter and pagination.

List active account memberships via GET /account_memberships?disabled=false and update each user's external system ID using PATCH /account_memberships/{id}.

Custom Field Automation Across Projects

Drive consistency in project metadata by programmatically defining and updating custom fields across all active projects in Kantata OX. The Custom Fields endpoints let an automation create a field once and apply it to every matching project, then bulk-update values when an external CRM changes (e.g. account tier flips). Removes manual cleanup work after every reorg.

Define a custom field 'Account Tier' via the Custom Fields endpoint and populate it on every active project that matches a CRM account.

Event-Driven Reporting and Alerts

Subscribe to Kantata OX events (membership changes, project updates, rate changes) and pipe them into a data warehouse or Slack channel for real-time observability. The /subscribed_events resource manages event-type subscriptions on the account and replaces brittle polling, giving finance and ops teams a low-latency feed without paying for a third-party iPaaS.

List available event types via GET /subscribed_events/event_types and subscribe to the membership.disabled event by POSTing to /subscribed_events.

Agent-Driven Operations for Services Firms

Operations agents inside services firms use Jentic to discover Kantata OX endpoints by intent ('disable a former employee', 'update a project rate') and execute changes safely. Jentic enforces least-privilege scoping on the bearer token so an automation that just needs to disable memberships cannot accidentally export the entire roster.

Use the Jentic search 'disable a Kantata account membership', load the schema, and call /account_memberships/{id}/disable for the supplied membership ID.

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Kantata OX bearer tokens are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents receive scoped, short-lived execution tokens so the long-lived bearer never enters the agent's prompt or downstream logs.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent (for example, 'disable a Kantata user' or 'list account memberships') and Jentic returns the matching operation and parameter schema, removing the need to read Kantata's docs to find the right path.

Time to first call

Direct Kantata integration: 3-5 days for token management, custom field handling, and event subscription wiring. Through Jentic: under an hour to call any of the 52 endpoints by intent.

FAQs

Specific to using Kantata OX API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Kantata OX API?

Kantata does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Kantata OX API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the Kantata OX API use?

The API uses HTTP bearer tokens. Each request must include `Authorization: Bearer {token}` where the token is generated from the Kantata OX account's API settings. Through Jentic the token is stored encrypted in the vault and scoped per agent execution, so the raw bearer never appears in the agent's context.

Can I disable a former employee's account membership programmatically?

Yes. POST /account_memberships/{id}/disable disables a membership without deleting historical time, expense, and assignment data. Use the matching /account_memberships/{id}/enable endpoint to reverse the change if the person rejoins.

What are the rate limits for the Kantata OX API?

The platform applies per-account throttling and returns HTTP 429 when bursts exceed the contract limit. Exact ceilings depend on the customer's Kantata plan — check with your account manager before scaling automation traffic, and use /subscribed_events instead of polling to stay well under the limit.

How do I subscribe to Kantata events through Jentic?

Run `pip install jentic` and search Jentic for 'subscribe to Kantata events'. Jentic returns the schema for POST /subscribed_events; supply the event type from /subscribed_events/event_types and a target webhook URL, then execute to register.

Why does the Kantata OX API live on api.mavenlink.com?

Kantata OX was previously called Mavenlink. The product rebranded but the API host did not change to preserve existing integrations, so the base URL remains https://api.mavenlink.com/api/v1. All v1 endpoints are first-class on the current Kantata OX product.

Is the Kantata OX API included in every plan?

API access is included in Kantata OX paid plans but not surfaced in trial accounts. Enterprise customers can request additional rate-limit headroom and event subscriptions through their account manager.
