Freshdesk Overview

The Freshdesk MCP server gives AI assistants structured access to Freshdesk tickets, contacts, companies, agents, groups, solutions, and support configuration. It uses Freshdesk API-key authentication and supports local stdio or remote Streamable HTTP transport. A decision-tree interface reveals tools by domain, while confirmations protect destructive and high-impact operations. Use it when an agent needs to inspect or update Freshdesk data without exposing the entire tool catalog at once.

Primary Use Cases for Freshdesk:
  • Search and update support tickets
  • Create replies and internal ticket notes
  • Look up contacts, companies, agents, and groups
  • Manage Freshdesk solutions and knowledge articles
