About Quackback MCP Server

Quackback's MCP server is bundled with the Quackback feedback platform and exposes feedback and changelog operations to AI agents over streamable HTTP at https://{your-host}/api/mcp. Agents can search and read posts/changelogs, triage and moderate feedback, vote, comment, react, manage roadmaps, merge duplicates, and create/update/publish changelog entries, plus handle AI-generated feedback suggestions. It supports both API-key (Bearer) and OAuth authentication, with copy-paste configs for Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Claude Desktop.

Security notes

The MCP server is hosted by your own Quackback instance; the endpoint is https://{your-host}/api/mcp. Authenticate with an API key (Bearer qb_...) generated under Admin > Settings > Developers, or via OAuth (browser login; supported by Claude Code and Claude Desktop). Store the API key in an environment variable (e.g. QUACKBACK_API_KEY) rather than hardcoding it.

Quackback MCP Server FAQ

What is the MCP server endpoint?

It is served by your own Quackback instance at https://{your-host}/api/mcp using the streamable HTTP transport. For Quackback Cloud, the host is your workspace domain.

How do I authenticate?

Use an API key (Bearer qb_...) created under Admin > Settings > Developers, or OAuth (browser login). Claude Code and Claude Desktop support both; Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf use the API key.

Which clients are supported?

The in-app setup guide provides copy-paste configs for Claude Code (.mcp.json), Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json), VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json), Windsurf (~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json), and Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json via the mcp-remote bridge).

Is it free / open source?

Yes. Quackback is AGPL-3.0 and self-hostable for free with Docker or one-click on Railway. The MCP server is included in every deployment.
