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."

Stacksync fits automotive suppliers that assemble engineering-change impacts manually before planning can apply a cutover. The workflow preserves the authorizing instruction and routes material disposition without assuming every old revision must immediately be replaced. Engineering has approved a change, but planning cannot quickly establish which releases, lots and existing commitments fall inside its applicability.

When this fits ## Built for this operating problem Supply-chain, quality and IT teams at US automotive component suppliers with 100–1,000 employees. ### Assemble the affected work Bring open demand, inventory and production state into a reviewable impact list. ### Keep dispositions explicit Separate technical acceptability, customer scope and planning treatment of existing quantities. ### Reconcile the accepted cutover Track approved execution and unresolved exceptions while preserving prior revision history. The process, end to end ## Follow the work across systems a supplier needs to introduce a revision while using some older stock under a restricted customer allowance. The evaluation should show the affected population, the approved boundary and how the exception stays limited to the authorized release.

Quality and planning record that decision; the workflow only asks for it. Engineering supplies the revision and its applicability instruction, the customer process sets the boundary, and each owner answers for the material state in front of them: finished stock, work in progress or incoming material. The workflow records the disposition against the specific release or lot it covers, so an allowance given for one release cannot be reused on the next one without a new decision. ### What should the demonstration include? An existing-stock allowance restricted to one release and material whose revision evidence is missing. ### How do we know the cutover evaluation is finished? Stop when the affected orders and quantities reconcile to the approved plan and every open disposition has an owner and a date. Compare the impact list the workflow assembled with the one planning built by hand for the same change; an item on either list that the other missed is the finding to chase before the scope widens. Measure disposition age from the day engineering approved the change, not from the day the workflow ran, so the evaluation shows how long earlier-revision material waited for a decision. ### Do we need two-way sync in place before running the cutover workflow? Not as a product requirement, but it is the right first layer. Two-way sync between NetSuite and Postgres gives the workflow a current picture of the approved engineering change, affected inventory and work in progress, and open customer demand without hand-built extracts. The workflow then collects each owner's disposition and records execution against the approved boundary; planning applies the accepted cutover through its normal controlled process with the approval reference attached. Genies come after that, when quality or planning wants the impacted population assembled and summarized before review. EDI matters when a requested revision arrives through a customer's agreed order-change documents; applicability still routes to engineering.
