How to Use the Deskpro MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I configure the Deskpro MCP Server in Windsurf?

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file to add the endpoint token. You can also use the Cascade MCP Servers UI to paste the URL directly. Clicking refresh loads the tools instantly.

Q: Why aren't my helpdesk agents showing up?

The listhelpdeskagents tool requires proper API permissions. Check that your Vinkius token has the correct access scopes for reading staff data.

Windsurf connects to Deskpro so Cascade can manage tickets and user profiles autonomously while you code.

Autonomous ticket triage in Windsurf

The Deskpro MCP Server lets Cascade handle customer issues without breaking your focus. You tell the agent to investigate a bug report, and it pulls the exact context using `get_ticket_details`. Instead of switching tabs to update statuses, your IDE handles the updates. Cascade chains `list_helpdesk_tickets` to find open items and applies fixes via `update_ticket_properties` right from the editor.

Deep user context on demand

This MCP integration changes how you debug by pulling customer history directly into your workspace. When a high-priority user reports an error, Cascade runs `get_user_profile` to grab their environment details. Your agent can then cross-reference organizational data with `list_user_organizations`. Doing this ensures your code fixes address the specific configuration of the client experiencing the outage.

Automated knowledge base checks

The Deskpro server makes finding workarounds fast by querying support documentation directly. Cascade queries `list_kb_articles` to find known solutions before writing a single line of code. When a solution exists, the agent extracts the exact steps using `get_article_content`. It then implements the fix and drafts a reply to the customer via `update_ticket_properties`.
