Inject live ticket data into your code

Stop using mock data for your support integrations. Use `get_ticket_details` to fetch real payloads from your helpdesk so you can write code that handles actual edge cases. Your agent can now test logic against live `list_tickets` output. It ensures your features actually work when they hit production.

Automate ticket updates from the editor

Run `update_ticket_details` directly from your chat window to close or escalate issues while you are refactoring. It bridges the gap between your code and your support operations. You can chain this with `list_support_agents` to ensure you are routing work to the right people. No more manual updates.

Map your support structure in code

Use `list_support_groups` and `list_support_companies` to pull your organizational hierarchy into your development context. It helps you build features that respect your company's internal routing rules. Having this data in your IDE means you can write better automation logic. Your agent will understand your helpdesk setup as well as you do.

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".

Add the Freshdesk MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
