Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Customer support answers, refund rules, and escalation limits for AI assistants

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 13 things (tools) list_support_desks, create_support_desk, save_approved_answer, search_approved_answers …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • list_support_desks

    List this team's support desks. Use the returned id. Do not guess a desk.

  • create_support_desk

    Create a support desk when the user asks for a new policy home. Does not approve answers, refunds, features, or timelines.

  • save_approved_answer

    Store or revise an answer the user has explicitly approved. Identical retries keep the same revision. A changed answer requires expectedRevision from a previous read.

  • search_approved_answers

    Look up approved answers by topic, question, or answer text. An empty result means there is no approved answer. Draft for human review; do not invent one or promise the customer. Page with offset.

  • save_refund_rule

    Store a refund rule the user has explicitly approved. matchTerms must name a specific situation. The word refund alone is not a rule. remedy is the only wording that may later be approved. decision ALLOW grants that wording. decision DENY refuses a refund and records the denial s

  • list_refund_rules

    Read refund rules on a desk. Only APPROVED rules can authorize wording, and only through evaluate_commitment. Do not treat this list as permission to invent a refund.

  • save_escalation_limit

    Store the escalation limit the user has explicitly approved for one channel. maxTier must be on tierLadder. Promise flags default closed unless the user sets them true. A limit does not itself approve refund, feature, or timeline wording.

  • list_escalation_limits

    Read escalation limits. A channel with no APPROVED limit cannot promise a refund, feature, or timeline and cannot be given an invented escalation path.

  • save_approved_commitment

    Store a feature or timeline statement the user has explicitly approved. The statement is the only wording that can later pass evaluate_commitment. Do not save a date or a feature the user did not approve.

  • list_approved_commitments

    Read approved feature and timeline statements. Listing them does not approve a different promise. Call evaluate_commitment with the exact wording before saying one.

  • evaluate_commitment

    Decide whether a proposed refund, feature, or timeline is in the approved set. REFUSED means do not say it, do not invent a substitute, and draft for human review instead of promising the customer. APPROVED means sayOnly is the only permitted wording. Pass channel to also enforce

  • evaluate_escalation

    Decide whether this channel may escalate or may promise a refund, feature, or timeline. REFUSED means do not escalate, do not invent a tier, and draft for human review instead of promising the customer. Permission to promise still requires evaluate_commitment for the exact wordin

  • get_desk_context

    Retrieve selected approved answers for a customer question, plus the desk's approved refund rules, commitments, and escalation limits. This is evidence, not permission. A missing or RETIRED answer is not an invitation to invent one. Call evaluate_commitment before promising a ref

Common questions

Is Desk by Ouroboros Apps safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.3) reached the registry 32 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Desk

Desk keeps a support team's approved answers, refund rules, and escalation limits, then lets an assistant read that policy before it replies.

An assistant can store and look up what the team has approved. It must call Desk before drafting a customer reply. It must refuse a refund, a feature, or a timeline that is not in the approved set, including RETIRED or missing policy, and when a customer asks to ignore the rules. In those cases it drafts for human review instead of promising the customer. It does not invent a softer promise.

It works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and Cursor, plus any other MCP client that can do Streamable HTTP and OAuth. It is not a ChatGPT-only plugin.

Sign in with your Desk account when the assistant opens OAuth. Do not paste an API key or password into a header. Support tools need Pro or an active trial. The trial is 14 days, then Pro. Checkout shows the plan terms. This page does not print a price.

Hosted server

  • MCP server URL: https://desk-mcp-continuity2.vercel.app/mcp (Streamable HTTP, OAuth sign-in)
  • Docs: https://ouroborosapps.com/docs/desk
  • Status: early access. Paste the URL into Claude, Cursor, Grok, or ChatGPT developer mode.
  • Registry name: io.github.LAHutchins91/desk

What the assistant can do

After you approve the connection, the server exposes these tools:

  • list_support_desks
  • create_support_desk
  • save_approved_answer
  • search_approved_answers
  • save_refund_rule
  • list_refund_rules
  • save_escalation_limit
  • list_escalation_limits
  • save_approved_commitment
  • list_approved_commitments
  • evaluate_commitment
  • evaluate_escalation
  • get_desk_context

evaluate_commitment returns APPROVED only for wording already stored. Otherwise it returns REFUSED and the assistant must not promise that refund, feature, or timeline. evaluate_escalation refuses a channel or tier that is outside the saved limit. The assistant only calls these tools when you and the host allow it.

Connect

Run the server and use its /mcp path. With the default local base, that is http://localhost:3000/mcp. A deployed host uses the same path on APP_BASE_URL.

Cursor, in ~/.cursor/mcp.json or a project .cursor/mcp.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "desk": { "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp" } } }

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http desk http://localhost:3000/mcp

Do not pass an Authorization header. Other clients add the same URL, choose OAuth, and leave client id and secret empty. Desk supports dynamic client registration. Full steps for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and Cursor are on the server's /connect page.

When stdin is a terminal, Desk serves Streamable HTTP. When stdin is not a terminal, it also speaks MCP on stdio. That is the same choice continuity-mcp makes, so a launcher such as Glama can attach stdin.

Registry metadata for this server is in server.json (io.github.LAHutchins91/desk).

Run

npm ci

npm test npm run build npm start

Hosted accounts use Supabase for sign-in and policy storage, and Stripe for the 14-day trial and Pro. Copy .env.example to .env and set the variables there. supabase/schema.sql creates the tables. Stripe price ids belong in the environment. Desk never displays the amount.

Local stdio, with no account configured, stores one operator's policy under DESK_DATA_DIR (or the system temp directory). HTTP tool calls still require OAuth and an active trial or Pro.

docker build -t desk-mcp .

docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 desk-mcp

A container without a terminal on stdin speaks MCP on stdio and still listens on port 3000.
