Userback MCP

Overview

Userback MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets your developer tools and AI agents connect to Userback and automatically load relevant context (feedback details, comments, project/workflow info, console logs, and network logs) directly into your prompt flow.

As a team, you can debug faster without manually copying IDs, recreating long issue timelines, or switching constantly between tools.

Connect the Userback MCP endpoint into supported MCP clients like ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code, Windsurf, and OpenCode, then authenticate to start using Userback context where you work.

Prerequisites

Set up Userback
  1. You have access to a Userback workspace.
  2. You can sign in to Userback in a browser during OAuth authorization.
  3. You have an MCP-compatible client (eg. ChatGPT, Claude, or code editors like VSCode, Cursor or Windsurf.
  4. For custom tools, the Userback MCP endpoint is:

https://mcp.userback.io/v1/mcp/

1. Configure Apps & Tools

Claude Desktop

Steps:

  1. Open Search and tools.
  2. Click + Add connectors.
  3. Select Userback from the connector directory.
  4. Connect and run auth.
  5. Sign in to Userback and approve access for your workspace.
ChatGPT
  1. Open the App Store in ChatGPT.
  2. Go to Settings.
  3. Open Apps & Connectors.
  4. Select Userback and click Connect.
  5. Sign in to Userback and approve workspace access.
Claude Code

Steps:

  1. Install Claude Code in your IDE.
  2. In terminal, run:
claude mcp add Userback https://mcp.userback.io/v1/mcp/ -t http -s user
  1. Complete OAuth in your browser when prompted.
Cursor

One-click install:

Add Userback to Cursor

Manual setup:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "userback": {
      "url": "https://mcp.userback.io/v1/mcp/"
    }
  }
}

After saving, restart Cursor if needed, then complete OAuth authorization in your browser.

Visual Studio Code
  1. Open Command Palette and run MCP: Add Server.
  2. Choose HTTP.
  3. Enter:

https://mcp.userback.io/v1/mcp/

  1. Name it Userback.

Example config:

{
  "servers": {
    "Userback": {
      "url": "https://mcp.userback.io/v1/mcp/",
      "type": "http"
    }
  }
}
Windsurf
  1. Open Command Palette and run Windsurf: MCP Marketplace.
  2. Click the cog icon to modify mcp.json
  3. Enter:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Userback": {
      "url": "https://mcp.userback.io/v1/mcp/"
    }
  }
}

2. Getting Started

Once configured:

  1. Start a prompt in your MCP client.

  2. Ask your agent to use Userback MCP.

  3. Complete OAuth authorization when prompted.

  4. Approve the MCP tool calls the agent needs.

  5. Iterate in focused steps: search -> inspect -> decide -> update.

3. Available Features in Userback MCP

Userback MCP supports:

  • Finding and reviewing feedback across projects
  • Searching by filters and by intent
  • Reading related technical diagnostics (console/network logs)
  • Posting comments and updating feedback status/ownership/details
  • Organizing and triaging work with project and workflow context

4. Tips

Prompting tips:

  1. Start with one clear goal per prompt (for example: "summarize", "prioritize", or "update").
  2. Be specific about what you want (project, date range, status, or theme).
  3. Review suggested updates before applying them.
  4. Keep requests focused and iterative instead of asking for everything at once.

5. Examples

FAQ

Can I use Userback MCP without changing my Userback widget/snippet?

Yes. Userback MCP only needs your Userback account/workspace access and OAuth authorization in your MCP client.

Can I connect other applications?

Yes, applications that support OAuth can connect using:

https://mcp.userback.io/v1/mcp/

Can I paste multiple IDs or requests at once?

Yes. But we recommend one focused task at a time to reduce context-window pressure and improve output quality.

How do I review or revoke MCP access?

Userback account admins can manage and revoke access from the workspace settings page in Userback, and or individually from your user profile.

Does Userback MCP expose data beyond existing permissions?

No. MCP follows your existing Userback account/workspace permissions.
