MCP Server

The accsyn MCP server lets an AI agent such as ChatGPT or Claude work with your accsyn workspace: list transfers and their files, read logs, and pause, resume or abort jobs. It runs on your own computer and uses the accsyn JavaScript API to talk to your workspace.

Important Note: The server uses the accsyn API, which is NOT available for Cloud Essentials or BYOS Lite type workspaces.

What you can ask

• List all active transfers for john@user.com
• List all files for job myupload
• Show the log for job myupload
• Pause job myupload, Resume job myupload and Abort transfer myupload

Set up in ChatGPT

You need Node.js 18 or later, and an API key for your workspace. API keys are created the same way as for the Python API, see How to create and manage API keys.

1. In ChatGPT, open the settings and choose Connect to a custom MCP.
2. Enter the name accsyn.

3. Set the command to launch to the full path of npx (run which npx in a terminal to find it), and the argument to:

   -y accsyn-mcp-server
   

4. Add these environment variables:

   Name	Value
   ACCSYN_WORKSPACE	Your workspace code, for example acmefilm.
   ACCSYN_API_USER	The email of the API user, for example john@user.com.
   ACCSYN_API_KEY	The API key of that user.

5. Save, restart ChatGPT, and start a new chat.

6. Ask: List all active transfers for john@user.com.

The agent acts as the API user, with the same permissions.
