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." Setup for each assistant: https://www.stacksync.com/mcp.md Move permit applications, payments, and inspection results end to end across a legacy mainframe and a modern Salesforce or ServiceNow front end the moment they change, two-way and in real time, so nothing stalls between old and new.

Permitting spans a modern application UX, a payment processor, and a mainframe system of record that were never built to hand off cleanly. 01 - Frozen back end ### Applications queue while the mainframe catches up Submissions captured in a modern portal wait for an overnight load into the mainframe of record. Applicants and reviewers stare at a status that hasn't moved since yesterday. LATENCY 02 - Payment reconciliation ### One retry, two charges on the record When a payment webhook fires twice, naive pipelines record a duplicate fee against the permit. Idempotent sync keyed on the transaction ID updates the existing fee, never doubling it. IDEMPOTENCY 03 - Inspection feedback ### An inspection result never reaches the application Field inspection outcomes get stranded between the mobile app and the permit record. Queued, replayable sync guarantees pass/fail results land on the right application, in order. RELIABILITY PLATFORM ## Six products. One Platform. Replace many legacy vendors.

The legacy-coexistence, payment, and inspection concerns every permitting and IT team raises. [Talk to a solutions architect](https://www.stacksync.com/book-a-demo) ### Can we add a modern front end without replacing the mainframe? Yes. Stacksync syncs a modern Salesforce or ServiceNow UX to the mainframe of record in real time, so applicants get a new experience while the legacy system stays authoritative. ### How do you stop duplicate permit fees? Every payment sync is idempotent, keyed on the transaction ID. A retried or replayed webhook updates the existing fee on the permit instead of recording a second charge. ### How do inspection results reach the permit record? Pass/fail outcomes and notes sync from the inspection app to the application record in real time, and every event is replayable, so a result never strands between field and back office. ### What happens if the mainframe is down at submission? The application is queued and retried with backoff. When the back end recovers, it loads in order with no lost submission and no manual re-entry. ## Stop permits stalling between systems.
