Perplexity

Take action on support tickets inside Claude Desktop

The `update_ticket` and `create_conversation` tools let your agent respond to customer issues and modify ticket statuses right from your chat interface. Running this MCP Server means instead of copying text back and forth between browser tabs, you ask Claude to write the reply and send it. The agent handles the API calls, letting you focus on solving the customer's actual problem. You can also pull up historical context instantly. Using `list_conversations` and `get_ticket` gives your agent the exact timeline of any issue. It reads past interactions, drafts a context-aware response, and updates the ticket lifecycle in one go.

Access customer profiles during active chats

The `get_customer` and `list_customers` tools expose customer profiles and contact details directly to your AI client. Your agent reads this data to understand who is writing in, what plan they are on, and their past value. This eliminates the need to manually search your support portal for user background. This MCP Server connection works locally on your machine via stdio. When you ask Claude about a specific user, it runs these tools as background subprocesses to fetch fresh data. You get immediate answers based on real-time Desku.io database records.

Audit team workload and ticket distribution

The `list_agents` and `list_tickets` tools allow you to audit your support queue and agent assignments. Your agent parses active tickets to identify bottlenecks, unassigned issues, or overloaded team members. It gives you a clear picture of support performance without running manual reports. If you need to reassign work, the agent can use `update_ticket` to shift ownership. It makes queue management a conversational task rather than a clicking chore. You keep your team balanced and your response times low.
