Connect your agent
The Sync app connects your editor automatically. Here's how to wire it up by hand if you need to.
Most people never have to do this. When you install the desktop app, its Welcome wizard connects Sync to Claude Code, Cursor, Zed, Codex, and OpenCode for you — and you can review it later under Settings → Integrations.
Sync connects to agents through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Under the hood, your editor runs Sync as a local subprocess; there's no server to host and no network connection.
Wire it up manually
If you're using an editor the wizard didn't set up, connect it yourself.
Claude Code:
claude mcp add git-sync -- git-sync mcpAny other MCP client, by config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"git-sync": {
"command": "git-sync",
"args": ["mcp"]
}
}
}This needs the git-sync binary on your PATH — the desktop app sets that up.
If it isn't, use the binary's full path, or see Advanced.
Once connected, your agent can read the project's knowledge, search it, follow the roadmap, and write new decisions and observations as it works — always seeing each document's status so it knows what's still true.
