Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Read tickets, users, orgs, macros and satisfaction ratings; create, update and comment on tickets.

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.

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 19 things (tools) zendesk_search, zendesk_list_tickets, zendesk_get_ticket, zendesk_list_ticket_comments …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • zendesk_search

    Unified search across tickets, users, organizations and groups using Zendesk search syntax. Examples: `type:ticket status:open`, `type:user email:jane@acme.com`, `type:organization name:acme`. Zendesk REST: GET /search.json.

  • zendesk_list_tickets

    List recent tickets (offset pagination). Zendesk REST: GET /tickets.json.

  • zendesk_get_ticket

    Fetch a single ticket by id. Zendesk REST: GET /tickets/{id}.json.

  • zendesk_list_ticket_comments

    List the comments (public replies and internal notes) on a ticket, oldest first. Zendesk REST: GET /tickets/{id}/comments.json.

  • zendesk_current_user

    Return the currently authenticated user — a quick way to verify credentials and subdomain. Zendesk REST: GET /users/me.json.

  • zendesk_get_user

    Fetch a single user by id. Zendesk REST: GET /users/{id}.json.

  • zendesk_search_users

    Find users by name, email, phone, or other attributes. Zendesk REST: GET /users/search.json.

  • zendesk_list_organizations

    List organizations (offset pagination). Zendesk REST: GET /organizations.json.

  • zendesk_get_organization

    Fetch a single organization by id. Zendesk REST: GET /organizations/{id}.json.

  • zendesk_list_groups

    List agent groups. Zendesk REST: GET /groups.json.

  • zendesk_list_views

    List saved ticket views (curated ticket lists). Use zendesk_execute_view to run one. Zendesk REST: GET /views.json.

  • zendesk_execute_view

    Run a saved view by id and return the matching tickets. Zendesk REST: GET /views/{id}/execute.json.

  • zendesk_list_macros

    List macros (reusable sets of ticket actions/replies agents apply). Zendesk REST: GET /macros.json.

  • zendesk_list_ticket_fields

    List all standard and custom ticket fields — useful for discovering field ids/values before creating or updating tickets. Zendesk REST: GET /ticket_fields.json.

  • zendesk_get_ticket_metrics

    Fetch SLA / response / resolution time metrics for a ticket. Zendesk REST: GET /tickets/{id}/metrics.json.

  • zendesk_list_satisfaction_ratings

    List customer satisfaction (CSAT) ratings, optionally filtered by score. Zendesk REST: GET /satisfaction_ratings.json.

  • zendesk_create_ticket

    MUTATING: create a new support ticket. `subject` and `comment_body` are required; the comment becomes the ticket's first message. Zendesk REST: POST /tickets.json.

  • zendesk_update_ticket

    MUTATING: update an existing ticket. Provide the ticket `id` plus at least one field to change (status, priority, assignee_id, group_id, type, tags, or a comment). Zendesk REST: PUT /tickets/{id}.json.

  • zendesk_add_ticket_comment

    MUTATING: add a comment to a ticket. `public` defaults to true (a reply visible to the requester); set it false for an internal agent note. Convenience over PUT /tickets/{id}.json.

Common questions

Is Zendesk MCP by usefulapi 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 (1.35.4) reached the registry today.

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?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Recta

Zendesk MCP by usefulapi

Use your Zendesk account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — read tickets, users, organizations, macros and satisfaction ratings, and create, update or comment on tickets. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://zendesk.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://zendesk.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http zendesk https://zendesk.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{

"mcpServers": { "zendesk": { "url": "https://zendesk.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Zendesk credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/zendesk/

On first connect you'll provide your Zendesk subdomain, agent email and API token (Admin Center → Apps and integrations → APIs). It is validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.
