Gyst

Standalone Cursor MCP server for Gyst — list and update clients, projects, and tickets from your editor.

Quick start

1. Generate a token in Gyst → Settings → Cursor MCP.

2. Clone and build this repo:

   git clone https://github.com/NathanHartkopf/gyst-mcp.git
   cd gyst-mcp
   npm install && npm run build
   

3. Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "gyst": {
         "command": "node",
         "args": ["/absolute/path/to/gyst-mcp/dist/index.js"],
         "env": {
           "GYST_API_URL": "https://gyst.nathanh.app",
           "GYST_API_TOKEN": "gyst_your_token_here",
           "GYST_WORKSPACE": "/absolute/path/to/your/repo"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

   • GYST_API_TOKEN — personal token from Gyst Settings (scopes access to your account only)
   • GYST_API_URL — your Gyst deployment URL (defaults to production if omitted in code)
   • GYST_WORKSPACE — optional; helps get_projects_for_current_repo when Cursor does not expose workspace roots

4. Restart Cursor to load the MCP server.

Legacy direct-KV mode

For local development against Vercel KV directly (not recommended for end users):

vercel env pull .env.mcp --environment=production --yes

Configure with GYST_ENV_FILE, KV_REST_API_URL, KV_REST_API_TOKEN, and ADMIN_EMAIL instead of GYST_API_TOKEN.
