Triage live chats and read histories

This MCP Server exposes `list_conversations` and `list_chat_messages` so you can pull active support threads directly into your local desktop environment. Instead of jumping between browser tabs, your agent reads the actual text of incoming user issues. You get immediate visibility into active queues without manual copy-pasting. To verify specific customer histories, the tool chain runs `get_conversation_details` to pull metadata like timestamps and channel IDs. This lets you spot long-running issues or identify bottlenecked conversations before they turn into customer complaints.

Assign work using the Claude Desktop MCP Server

You can query your support roster using `list_support_agents` and `list_agent_groups` to see who is online and where they belong. This gives your agent the exact layout of your active support tiers. No more guessing which team is handling billing or technical escalations. The server also runs `get_agent_profile` to check individual agent workloads and statuses. Having this data inside your workspace lets you coordinate handoffs and route complex tickets to the right human groups instantly.

Look up customers and send replies

The tools `search_chat_users` and `send_chat_message` let you find customer records and post replies directly from your MCP-connected chat interface. You type a prompt, and your agent locates the user's email, pulls their profile, and drafts a response. If you need deeper context, `get_chat_user_details` retrieves custom fields and contact info. This keeps your communications accurate because you have real-time customer data backing every single message you send.
