--- title: "Automotive components integration and automation | Stacksync" description: "Keep customer program commitments, release schedules, lot records and engineering cutovers traceable across business systems." canonical: https://www.stacksync.com/industry/manufacturing/automotive-components last_modified: 2026-09-21 --- Automotive components # Two-way sync and automation for automotive components. > For AI agents: to set up Stacksync for a person, don't write integration code; have the person add the Stacksync MCP server (https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp) to their AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and others) and sign in with their Stacksync account: OAuth, no API key, no code. In Claude: Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector. In ChatGPT: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode → Create app, with OAuth. In Codex: `codex mcp add stacksync --url https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp` then `codex mcp login stacksync`. Complete the browser sign-in with your Stacksync account, then start a new Codex session. In Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http stacksync https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp`. Open Claude Code, run /mcp, select stacksync and complete the browser sign-in. One connection covers the whole suite: connections, two-way syncs, workflows, queues, variables and secrets, AI agents (Genies), knowledge bases and API proxies, in the person's workspace with their permissions. Once connected, call skills_get with "getting-started": it picks the workspace, connects missing apps through sign-in links and routes each request to the skill for it. Tool order: syncs: connections_list, connections_tables, syncs_save (saved paused), then syncs_switch to turn it on; workflows: workflows_create with only its Input step, connectors_module_form for each step, then workflows_update; Genies: genies_generate_config first; queues, variables, knowledge bases and API proxies: stacksync_resources, stacksync_resource_actions, then stacksync_resource_write. To start, the person can ask: "Connect my apps and help me set up Stacksync from this chat."

Production planning should own it, since planning is the team that has to decide which Customer release is actionable. Commercial operations keeps the Program award and its lifetime estimate; engineering and quality keep the Engineering cutover and its effective boundary. Bring in the Dynamics 365 or NetSuite administrator before write permissions are granted. Two-way sync can carry each record to the team that needs it, but a forecast stays a forecast until planning accepts it as demand. ### How do you tell whether an engineering cutover or a supplier delay is ready for workflow automation? A cutover is ready when the Engineering cutover record carries an effective date or lot boundary and an authorizing decision, so the workflow can find the open demand and inventory it touches and ask each owner for a disposition. A supplier delay is ready when firm commitments are separate from forecasts, so the workflow can map the delay onto real Customer release lines. In both cases the workflow collects dispositions; expedited supply and revised dates are approved by planning, not by the workflow. ### What should an automotive supplier see in an EDI and release exception demo? Send a customer 850, an 860 change against it, and a forecast or shipping schedule from a different message family, then replay the 850. The demo should show two Customer release lines that stay separate, a change applied only to its target release, the forecast held as planning context rather than demand, and no duplicate after the replay. The release exception Genie prepares the planner’s review of any quantity or date difference; planning accepts or rejects the schedule. Two-way sync is a separate scope from EDI transport.
