About Custom MCP

What is Custom MCP: Streamline Workflows, Boost Decisions?

Imagine a dashboard that automates your most repetitive tasks and turns raw data into actionable insights. Custom MCP is that dashboard. By blending the power of ChatGPT with direct integrations to Gmail and GitHub, it acts as your smart assistant for developers and teams. Whether you need to monitor repo alerts or triage emails about critical issues, this system cuts through the noise so you can focus on what matters.

Think of it as your 24/7 ops engineer: it checks GitHub for dependency warnings mentioned in your emails, summarizes urgent notifications, and even autonomously routes requests between services when complex workflows arise.

How to use Custom MCP: Streamline Workflows, Boost Decisions?

Getting started is as simple as setting up a developer account:

  1. Create OAuth credentials for Gmail and a GitHub Personal Access Token
  2. Spin up both servers with one command: ./start.sh (no manual port juggling!)
  3. Head to localhost:3000 and type natural language queries like:
    • "Show me all GitHub issues mentioned in yesterday's emails"
    • "Prioritize security alerts across my repositories"

Need to debug? The logs are auto-linked to the UI - just click the status bar for API trace details.

Custom MCP Features

Key Features of Custom MCP: Streamline Workflows, Boost Decisions?

Here's what makes this system a productivity powerhouse:

  • Smart Email Analysis – Highlights critical GitHub references buried in email threads
  • Repo Health Monitoring – Proactively flags dependency vulnerabilities mentioned in both emails and GitHub alerts
  • Autopilot Workflows – Automatically opens pull request links in your browser when you ask "Fix this urgent issue"
  • Developer-Friendly Stack – Built with FastAPI for backend speed and Next.js for real-time updates

Unlike generic dashboards, Custom MCP actually understands context – it knows your "repo alerts" query refers to both GitHub issues and email notifications.

Use cases of Custom MCP: Streamline Workflows, Boost Decisions?

Here's how real teams are using this system:

Scenario 1: Emergency Response
When a critical security alert appears in GitHub, the system cross-references emails to check if this was already reported by your monitoring tools. If not, it auto-creates a Jira ticket (coming in v2.0!) and sends a Slack alert.

Scenario 2: Daily Standup Prep
Type "Summarize my urgent GitHub notifications" and get a condensed report of priority issues, along with email context from your team discussions about those tickets.

Scenario 3: Onboarding New Developers
The system can auto-generate getting started guides by cross-referencing onboarding emails with the repo's CONTRIBUTING.md and open issues.

Custom MCP FAQ

FAQ from Custom MCP: Streamline Workflows, Boost Decisions?

Q: Does this handle sensitive data securely?
Yes! All API credentials are encrypted via environment variables, and OAuth scopes are restricted to read-only access unless explicitly configured otherwise.

Q: Can I add other services?
The modular design makes integrations easy – just create a new service class in the /services/ folder and update the decision engine's context rules.

Q: How does the cost compare to similar tools?
Free for small teams (using the community OpenAI model). Enterprise plans with GPT-4 support start at $99/month – 60% cheaper than competitors due to optimized API usage patterns.

Q: What if my query is ambiguous?
The system will ask clarifying questions via chat, then auto-retry the request once you provide more context. Watch the status bar for these dialog steps!
