Stacksync MCP · Custom API workflow
Build a GitHub workflow through Stacksync MCP using documented HTTP or code steps when the required action is not in the live catalog. The reviewed public catalog does not establish a native GitHub connector, so these examples are custom integration plans.
01 / The connection
Build a GitHub workflow through Stacksync MCP using documented HTTP or code steps when the required action is not in the live catalog. The reviewed public catalog does not establish a native GitHub connector, so these examples are custom integration plans. Choose an AI client below to get started with the Stacksync MCP server.
This guide connects GitHub through a custom Stacksync workflow. It does not provide a prebuilt GitHub MCP server.

Choose the connection path that fits the job. Your assistant inspects the available tools before configuring or running an action.
Prepare an HTTP or code step against GitHub’s repository-issues API, with repository access, pagination and filtering for issues versus pull requests.
Design an issue-creation request with the target repository, title, body and duplicate detection before any write is executed.
Propose a comment workflow using an existing issue number and exact content, with a check that the comment has not already been posted.
03 / Setup
Connect the MCP server first. Then configure a custom workflow for the GitHub API using the requirements below.
Connect Claude on the web or desktop to Stacksync through a custom connector and browser sign-in.
Open Customize → Connectors, select + Add, then Add custom connector. Name it Stacksync and use the server URL below.
https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp Select Connect, complete the Stacksync sign-in in your browser and choose the default workspace. Clear Make changes on the consent screen if you only want read access.
Ask “List my Stacksync workspaces.” Confirm the workspace before choosing a connector or preparing a change. Connecting the assistant does not start a sync.
Ask “List my Stacksync workspaces.” Select the workspace you want to use.
Ask the assistant to check the live connector catalog first. This guide uses a custom HTTP or code workflow for GitHub; configure API access and secure credentials outside chat before testing that workflow.
Add the remote Stacksync server to Claude Code and authenticate from its MCP menu.
Run the command below. Add --scope user if you want the connection available across your projects.

Use Stacksync from Cursor by adding a remote server to its MCP configuration.
Merge this stacksync entry into the mcpServers object in ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Preserve any servers you already use.
{
"mcpServers": {
"stacksync": {
"url": "https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp"
}
}
} Open Cursor’s MCP settings, select Connect beside stacksync and finish the Stacksync sign-in in your browser.
Ask “List my Stacksync workspaces.” Confirm the workspace before choosing a connector or preparing a change. Connecting the assistant does not start a sync.

Connect Stacksync to GitHub Copilot Chat in VS Code using an HTTP MCP server.
Run the command below. Alternatively, add a stacksync entry with type http and this URL under servers in your project’s .vscode/mcp.json.
code --add-mcp '{"name":"stacksync","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp"}' Open Copilot Chat in Agent mode. Start stacksync from the tools picker and complete the Stacksync browser sign-in.

Add Stacksync to Cascade with Windsurf’s serverUrl configuration and OAuth sign-in.
In the Cascade panel, open the … menu and select Open MCP config file. Merge this entry into mcp_config.json without removing other servers.
{
"mcpServers": {
"stacksync": {
"serverUrl": "https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp"
}
}
} Save the configuration. Cascade opens the Stacksync sign-in flow the first time it uses the server. Choose your default workspace.

04 / Put it to work
Example prompts for GitHub. The outcomes describe what to expect, not results from your account. Review the proposed configuration before running it.
Check the Stacksync catalog for a GitHub action first. If the needed action is absent, inspect available HTTP or code steps and propose a workflow using GitHub’s repository-issues API for the repository I choose. Include authentication outside chat, pagination and exclusion of pull requests. Show the request and digest fields before saving or running anything.
A custom issue-digest design with an explicit repository and complete-result handling.
Inspect my existing support workflows and check for the required GitHub modules. If a custom path is needed, propose an HTTP or code step to create a GitHub issue from a support escalation. Include the source ticket ID for duplicate prevention, the repository, issue title and a redacted body. Wait for review before creating a workflow or issue.
A custom escalation proposal with a stable source reference and a reviewable issue payload.
Check the available GitHub actions and the issue number I provide. If no native action fits, propose a custom HTTP step using the GitHub issue-comment API. Show the repository, issue URL, exact comment and a check against posting the same update twice. Do not save, deploy or submit the comment until I approve.
A precise comment proposal with target and duplicate checks, ready for implementation review.
05 / Before you run
OAuth access follows your Stacksync role. Choose read-only access during sign-in when appropriate. Workspace owners can enable “Ask before every change”; it is a configurable setting. Direct connector actions also follow gateway policies.

The reviewed public app catalog does not list GitHub. Check the live catalog because it can change. The path documented here uses Stacksync’s custom HTTP or code workflow capability.
This page describes an assistant configuring or running work through Stacksync. A custom GitHub API step must be built and authenticated; it does not install GitHub’s separate MCP server.
Yes, the custom workflow design keeps credentials in approved secrets or connection settings. Do not paste a GitHub token into the chat or embed it in a workflow’s source text.
