41## Why Quackback?
42 
43Most feedback tools are expensive, closed-source, and lock you in. Quackback gives you a modern feedback system you actually own.
44 
45- **Self-host for free.** Run on your own infrastructure. No per-seat pricing.
46- **Own your data.** Your feedback lives in your PostgreSQL database. No vendor lock-in.
47- **AI-native.** Built-in [MCP server](https://quackback.io/docs/mcp) lets AI agents search, triage, and act on feedback directly.
48- **14 integrations.** Slack, Linear, Jira, GitHub, Intercom, Zendesk, and more out of the box.
49 
50## Features
51 
52- **Feedback boards.** Public voting, status tracking, nested comments, reactions, and official responses.
53- **Embeddable widget.** Drop a script tag into your app and collect feedback without leaving the page.
54- **Admin inbox.** Unified triage view with filtering, bulk actions, and automatic deduplication.
55- **Roadmap.** Show users what you're planning, working on, and what's shipped.
56- **Changelog.** Publish updates and close the loop when features ship.
57- **Integrations.** Sync with Slack, Linear, Jira, GitHub, Asana, ClickUp, Intercom, Zendesk, HubSpot, Discord, Teams, Shortcut, Azure DevOps, and Zapier.
58- **Inbound webhooks.** Two-way status sync with your issue tracker.
59- **API & webhooks.** API keys and outbound webhooks for custom workflows.
60- **MCP server.** Let AI agents interact with your feedback data via the [Model Context Protocol](https://quackback.io/docs/mcp).
