Whalesync Overview

The Whalesync MCP server lets AI agents create and manage two-way syncs between connected business tools. It exposes 24 prefixed tools for finding connectors, bases, tables, and fields; configuring mappings; activating syncs; and investigating record issues. The remote Streamable HTTP endpoint uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, so users approve access in a browser instead of supplying an API key. Reach for it when an agent needs to configure or operate Whalesync syncs while keeping app connections, sync starts, and delete approvals human-gated.
