Same product, same surface for humans and AI agents. MCP server + CLI + drop-in clients in 15 languages.

KI BMS ships an MCP server you can wire into Claude Desktop or any MCP client in five lines. The same auth + access gates apply, the same audit log records every action, the same rate limits apply. softgarden doesn't currently expose this surface - that's the gap.
softgarden is right when your company needs careers-page depth as a core function: 30+ open roles per quarter, branded setup, multi-channel posting across 8+ boards. KI BMS is right when you want KI pre-sorting from day 1, a free tier to try, and no 12-month commitment. Both host in Germany; both are GDPR-clean. The difference is speed + pricing model.
Agent surface
KI BMS ships an MCP server, a CLI, and drop-in clients in 15 languages. They're auto-generated from the same schema your UI uses; the auth, the access gates, the rate limits, the audit log all apply identically whether you're clicking buttons or calling the API. softgarden doesn't currently expose this surface, which is the gap a serious agent integration trips over - the agent ends up scraping the UI through a browser, which is fragile, slow, and silently bypasses everything below.
