Run Deskpro Ticket Triage in Claude Desktop

The `list_helpdesk_tickets` tool pulls active customer issues directly into your Claude Desktop window. Your agent reads the raw Deskpro ticket payload inside the desktop app, extracts the customer's pain point, and queues up a response. When you need to modify Deskpro ticket status or department assignments, `update_ticket_properties` handles the change instantly. Claude Desktop updates the Deskpro ticket metadata via the MCP Server, keeping your helpdesk clean without manual clicking.

Inspect Customer Profiles Inside Claude Desktop

The `get_user_profile` tool fetches customer details and contact records right inside your Claude Desktop chat. This lets your agent analyze the user's Deskpro history and organization context before you draft a response in the app. If the customer belongs to a corporate account, `list_user_organizations` pulls up their company tier and SLA rules. Claude Desktop cross-references this Deskpro data so you can prioritize high-value accounts on the spot.

Manage Helpdesk Tickets Using MCP Server Tools

The `create_new_helpdesk_ticket` tool lets your agent open new support cases directly from Claude Desktop. When a user reports a bug in chat, the agent drafts the subject, grabs their email, and files the Deskpro ticket. To make sure your connection is live, `check_api_health` runs a quick diagnostic check on your Deskpro instance. This keeps your Claude Desktop session synced with Deskpro so your automated ticket creation never drops a request.
