Getting Started
Installing via Smithery
To install freshdesk_mcp for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:
npx -y @smithery/cli install @effytech/freshdesk_mcp --client claude
Prerequisites
- A Freshdesk account (sign up at freshdesk.com)
- Freshdesk API key
- uvx installed (pip install uv or brew install uv)
Configuration
1. Generate your Freshdesk API key from the Freshdesk admin panel
2. Set up your domain and authentication details
Usage with Claude Desktop
1. Install Claude Desktop if you haven't already
2. Add the following configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json:
"mcpServers": {
"freshdesk-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"freshdesk-mcp"
],
"env": {
"FRESHDESK_API_KEY": "<YOUR_FRESHDESK_API_KEY>",
"FRESHDESK_DOMAIN": "<YOUR_FRESHDESK_DOMAIN>"
}
}
}
Important Notes:
- Replace YOUR_FRESHDESK_API_KEY with your actual Freshdesk API key
- Replace YOUR_FRESHDESK_DOMAIN with your Freshdesk domain (e.g., yourcompany.freshdesk.com)
Example Operations
Once configured, you can ask Claude to perform operations like:
- "Create a new ticket with subject 'Payment Issue for customer A101' and description as 'Reaching out for a payment issue in the last month for customer A101', where customer email is a101@acme.com and set priority to high"
- "Update the status of ticket #12345 to 'Resolved'"
- "List all high-priority tickets assigned to the agent John Doe"
- "List previous tickets of customer A101 in last 30 days"
Testing
For testing purposes, you can start the server manually:
uvx freshdesk-mcp --env FRESHDESK_API_KEY=<your_api_key> --env FRESHDESK_DOMAIN=<your_domain>
Troubleshooting
- Verify your Freshdesk API key and domain are correct
- Ensure proper network connectivity to Freshdesk servers
- Check API rate limits and quotas
- Verify the uvx command is available in your PATH
