Common questions

Is Freshdesk safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

You need to fill in: FRESHDESK_DOMAIN, FRESHDESK_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.8) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Freshdesk MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with structured access to the Freshdesk customer support platform — tickets, contacts, companies, agents, groups, the knowledge base, and SLA/business-hours configuration.

Note: This project is maintained by Wyre Technology. It wraps the published @wyre-technology/node-freshdesk SDK.

Quick Start

The primary deployment is through the WYRE MCP Gateway, which hosts the containerized server and injects per-request credentials. To run it yourself:

Claude Code (CLI):

claude mcp add freshdesk-mcp \

-e FRESHDESK_DOMAIN=your-subdomain \ -e FRESHDESK_API_KEY=your-api-key \ -- npx -y github:WYRE-AI/freshdesk-mcp

FRESHDESK_DOMAIN is the part before .freshdesk.com (for https://acme.freshdesk.com it is acme). Find your FRESHDESK_API_KEY in the Freshdesk portal under Profile Settings.

Features

🔌 MCP Protocol Compliance: Tools, prompts, and elicitation support
🎫 Full Helpdesk Coverage: Tickets, contacts, companies, agents, groups, solutions, SLA policies, business hours, and canned responses
🌳 Decision-Tree Navigation: Start at freshdesk_navigate, enter a domain to reveal its tools, and freshdesk_back to return — keeping the tool list small and focused
⚠️ Destructive-Action Guardrails: Irreversible and high-impact tools are clearly flagged and confirmed via elicitation before they run
🔒 Secure Authentication: HTTP Basic Auth with your Freshdesk API key (domain + key)
🌐 Dual Transport: stdio (local) and Streamable HTTP (remote/Docker/gateway)
🐳 Docker Ready: Containerized deployment with HTTP transport and health checks

Connecting via the Gateway

When AUTH_MODE=gateway, every /mcp request must include credentials injected by the WYRE MCP Gateway. A request missing either header returns 401 and does not fall back to FRESHDESK_DOMAIN or FRESHDESK_API_KEY in the process environment.

Header	Maps to	Description
`x-freshdesk-domain`	`FRESHDESK_DOMAIN`	Freshdesk account subdomain
`x-freshdesk-api-key`	`FRESHDESK_API_KEY`	Freshdesk API key

Each request is stateless: the gateway provides the credentials, and the server rebuilds its Freshdesk client for that request only. When CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET is set, the request must also include a valid X-Gateway-S2S header.

Configuration

Copy .env.example and set the variables below. The stdio transport reads FRESHDESK_DOMAIN and FRESHDESK_API_KEY and does not use CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET.

Variable	Description	Default
`FRESHDESK_DOMAIN`	Account subdomain (before `.freshdesk.com`). Required for stdio and for HTTP when `AUTH_MODE=env`. Gateway mode does not read it.	—
`FRESHDESK_API_KEY`	Freshdesk API key. Required for stdio and for HTTP when `AUTH_MODE=env`. Gateway mode does not read it.	—
`MCP_TRANSPORT`	Transport mode (`stdio` or `http`)	`stdio`
`AUTH_MODE`	`env` (process environment) or `gateway` (per-request `x-freshdesk-domain` and `x-freshdesk-api-key`, no env fallback). The container image and Compose default to `gateway`.	`env`
`CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET`	Required for HTTP. HMAC secret checked against `X-Gateway-S2S` on every `/mcp` request. The process logs an error and exits non-zero when this is empty or a known placeholder (`changeme`, `placeholder`, `secret`, `your-s2s-secret`, and similar public example values). Compose will not start when it is unset. Never commit a real value. Generate one with `openssl rand -hex 32`. The value is never logged.	—
`MCP_ALLOW_INSECURE_DEV`	Set to exactly `1` only for local development to start HTTP without `CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET`. The process logs a warning, does not enforce `X-Gateway-S2S`, and binds `127.0.0.1` only. A wider `MCP_HTTP_HOST` (including `0.0.0.0`) is ignored and the override is logged. A known placeholder secret is still rejected.	—
`MCP_HTTP_HOST`	Bind address when `MCP_TRANSPORT=http`. Unset binds `127.0.0.1`. A configured `CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET` honors this value (the container image sets `0.0.0.0`). With no secret, the insecure-dev bypass forces `127.0.0.1`.	`127.0.0.1`
`MCP_HTTP_PORT`	HTTP server port	`8080`
`LOG_LEVEL`	Log level (`debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error`)	`info`

/health stays unauthenticated and does not read credentials.

HTTP authentication

With MCP_TRANSPORT=http and CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET set, every /mcp request must include X-Gateway-S2S:

t=<unix seconds>,v1=<hex hmac-sha256>

v1 is the lowercase hex HMAC-SHA256 of the ASCII message t= , keyed by CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET. The timestamp must be within 300 seconds of the server clock. A missing or invalid header returns 401 before any vendor credential is read. The secret is never written to logs or error bodies.

In AUTH_MODE=gateway, /mcp also requires x-freshdesk-domain and x-freshdesk-api-key. Those headers are the only credential source for the request. A missing header returns 401. The server does not fall back to FRESHDESK_DOMAIN or FRESHDESK_API_KEY in the process environment.

X-Gateway-S2S: t=1710000000,v1=<hmac-sha256 of "t=1710000000">

x-freshdesk-domain: acme x-freshdesk-api-key:

Single-tenant HTTP (AUTH_MODE=env) still requires a valid X-Gateway-S2S header. Vendor credentials then come from FRESHDESK_DOMAIN and FRESHDESK_API_KEY.

Tool Overview

The server uses decision-tree navigation. At the top level you see only freshdesk_navigate, freshdesk_back, and freshdesk_status. Call freshdesk_navigate with a domain to reveal that domain's tools; call freshdesk_back to return to the top.

Domain	Tools
tickets	search, list, get, create, update, reply, add_note, list_conversations, update_conversation, delete\, delete_conversation\
contacts	search, list, get, create, update, autocomplete, make_agent†, restore, send_invite, merge†, soft_delete†, hard_delete\*
companies	search, list, get, create, update, autocomplete, delete\*
agents	list, get, me, create, update, delete\*
groups	list, get, create, update, delete\*
solutions	categories / folders / articles: list, get, create, update, delete\*
sla-business	SLA policies (list, create, update), business hours (list, get), canned responses (list_folders, get_folder, list_responses)

* = Tier A (irreversible delete) — flagged ⚠ DESTRUCTIVE — IRREVERSIBLE, requires confirmation. † = Tier B (high-impact reversible) — flagged ⚠ HIGH-IMPACT, requires confirmation.

Read tools (search/list/get/autocomplete/status) carry no warning and are marked read-only.

freshdesk_status performs a live connectivity check by calling agents/me.

Docker Deployment

The image listens on 0.0.0.0 inside the container (MCP_HTTP_HOST) and defaults to AUTH_MODE=gateway. Publish the port on loopback and pass the S2S secret. In gateway mode the domain and API key arrive on each request as x-freshdesk-domain and x-freshdesk-api-key. They are not read from the environment.

docker run \

-e CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" \ -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \ freshdesk-mcp

Compose refuses to start when CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET is unset, sets AUTH_MODE=gateway, publishes 127.0.0.1:8080:8080, and does not set FRESHDESK_DOMAIN, FRESHDESK_API_KEY, or env_file:

CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" docker compose up -d

Single-tenant HTTP (AUTH_MODE=env) still requires the S2S secret, then uses FRESHDESK_DOMAIN and FRESHDESK_API_KEY:

docker run \

-e CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" \ -e AUTH_MODE=env \ -e FRESHDESK_DOMAIN=your-subdomain \ -e FRESHDESK_API_KEY=your-api-key \ -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \ freshdesk-mcp

Local HTTP without a secret is development-only. It binds 127.0.0.1 even when MCP_HTTP_HOST is 0.0.0.0, and logs a warning. A known placeholder secret still refuses to start:

MCP_ALLOW_INSECURE_DEV=1 npm run start:http

See docker-compose.yml. The build installs @wyre-technology/node-freshdesk from GitHub Packages via a BuildKit npmrc secret (never baked into a layer):

printf '@wyre-ai:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com\n@wyre-technology:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com\n//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=%s\n' "$(gh auth token)" > /tmp/.npmrc

docker build --secret id=npmrc,src=/tmp/.npmrc -t freshdesk-mcp . rm /tmp/.npmrc

Development

export NODE_AUTH_TOKEN=$(gh auth token)   # to install @wyre-technology/node-freshdesk

npm install npm run build # Build the project npm run dev # Watch mode npm run test # Run tests npm run lint # Type-check npm run clean # Remove dist/

HTTP refuses to start until CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET is set

CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" npm run start:http

Local HTTP only, without a service-to-service secret (always binds 127.0.0.1)

MCP_ALLOW_INSECURE_DEV=1 npm run start:http
