AI Tools
Use Quickback with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible AI tool.
The Quickback CLI ships with built-in support for AI developer tools. One install gets you a Claude Code skill, Cursor IDE rules, and an MCP server that works with any AI tool.
MCP Server
The MCP server exposes Quickback documentation, project config, and feature definitions to any MCP-compatible AI tool — Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Windsurf, and more.
