Build AI-powered integrations for any business system in minutes

Catalyst Pack Builder

Build AI-powered integrations for any business system in minutes, not months.

Catalyst transforms complex enterprise integrations into simple, reusable "Knowledge Packs" that connect AI assistants directly to your business tools - databases, APIs, cloud services, and more.

What is Catalyst?

Catalyst is an enterprise-grade system that connects AI assistants (like Claude, ChatGPT) directly to your business systems through structured "Knowledge Packs."

Instead of building complex integrations from scratch, you create simple YAML configurations that automatically generate:

• ✅ API connections with authentication
• ✅ Database queries with security controls
• ✅ Business logic with validation
• ✅ AI-friendly tools ready for Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, and more

Why Choose Catalyst?

Traditional Integration	Catalyst Knowledge Packs
🔴 Weeks of custom development	✅ Minutes to configure
🔴 Complex authentication code	✅ Built-in security patterns
🔴 One-off, hard-to-maintain	✅ Reusable across teams
🔴 AI assistants can't use directly	✅ AI-native tool generation
🔴 No validation or testing	✅ Enterprise-grade validation

Quick Start

1. Install Catalyst Pack Builder

pip install catalyst-pack-schemas

2. Create Your First Pack

# Create a REST API integration
catalyst-packs create salesforce-api \
  --type rest \
  --description "Salesforce CRM integration"

3. Configure Connection (Generated YAML)

# salesforce-api/pack.yaml
metadata:
  name: salesforce-api
  description: "Salesforce CRM integration"
  domain: crm

connection:
  type: rest
  base_url: https://your-instance.salesforce.com/services/data/v58.0/
  auth:
    method: bearer
    token: "${SALESFORCE_TOKEN}"

tools:
  - name: get_account
    type: details
    description: "Retrieve account information"
    endpoint: "/sobjects/Account/{id}"

4. Install and Use with AI

# Install pack for AI use
catalyst-packs install salesforce-api/

# Now available in Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, etc.
# AI can automatically call: get_account, create_contact, search_opportunities
