How to Use the FreeScout MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor Agent mode draft replies on FreeScout tickets?

Yes. The agent uses the addreply tool to send messages to customers. You can review the draft in your chat sidebar before the agent executes the call.

Q: How does Cursor handle FreeScout mailbox lists?

The editor uses listmailboxes to fetch your active channels. You can reference these mailboxes by name when asking the agent to search for conversations.

Q: Can I update ticket assignments in FreeScout using Cursor?

Yes, the agent uses updateconversation to change the assignee or status. It first calls listusers to match the developer's name to an agent ID.

Build custom support workflows and inspect FreeScout tickets directly inside Cursor while you write code.

Code with live FreeScout data in Cursor

The FreeScout MCP Server uses `list_mailboxes` and `get_mailbox` to pull live helpdesk structures straight into your editor. You can write your custom routing scripts while Agent mode inspects actual production mailbox IDs. Instead of hardcoding test payloads, the editor uses `get_conversation` to feed real customer ticket structures directly into your active workspace. This makes writing support integrations much faster.

Manage customer records while coding

This server uses `create_customer` to generate new FreeScout profiles directly from your Cursor workspace. You can test your signup-to-support sync pipelines inside the editor using real helpdesk API behaviors. If a test user changes their details, you run `update_customer` to modify the record in Cursor. You verify the FreeScout database state without leaving your active code file.

Inspect ticket threads in Cursor Agent Mode

This tool uses `list_threads` to grab the entire message history of any support ticket you are debugging. Your agent reads the raw thread structure to help you write accurate parsers. If you need to inject a test message, the server uses `add_reply` to send a live response. You see exactly how the FreeScout API formats outgoing text in real-time.

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
