How to Use the Helpshift MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I add Helpshift tools to CrewAI?

Pass the Helpshift MCP server URL into your agent's mcps array. CrewAI automatically discovers all 11 tools. For strict control, use MCPServerHTTP with a tool filter to restrict specific agents.

Q: Can a CrewAI agent update a Helpshift ticket status?

Yes. You assign the updateissuestatus tool to a moderator agent. It can resolve or reject tickets based on the analysis provided by other agents in the crew.

Q: How does CrewAI handle Helpshift FAQs?

Assign the listfaqs tool to a researcher agent. When a user asks a question, the agent searches the published articles and passes the exact answer to the responder agent.

Q: Do I need to build a custom API client for bulk actions?

No. The MCP standard exposes bulkuseraction natively. Your crew just passes the JSON array of operations, and the server handles the underlying Helpshift API calls.

Perplexity

Autonomous Triage Operations

The `list_issues` tool feeds your current support backlog directly to your triage agent. Human routing is slow and prone to errors. Your CrewAI setup can dedicate one agent strictly to monitoring volume. It grabs the urgent cases and passes them down the line. Context gathering comes next. Calling `get_issue_details` allows a researcher agent to read the full history. Once the analysis finishes, a moderator agent uses `update_issue_status` to route or resolve the ticket entirely autonomously.

CrewAI Autonomous Responses

Executing `create_issue` allows your agents to open new tickets based on external alerts. You configure the JSON payload with the app ID and body. If a monitoring agent detects a server outage, it creates a tracked issue before customers even complain. Ongoing conversations happen through `add_issue_message`. A responder agent drafts a reply and appends it to the thread. The Helpshift MCP Server processes the JSON string. Your crew handles the entire back-and-forth without a human touching the keyboard.

Application and Knowledge Mapping

The `list_registered_apps` tool pulls your entire dashboard configuration. Managing multi-app support requires knowing exactly which environments are active. Your administrative agent reads this list to map incoming tickets to the correct product. Knowledge retrieval is just as easy. Using `list_faqs`, a support agent checks published articles before drafting a reply. It can also map the structure by calling `list_faq_sections`. The crew always references your official documentation.

Setup guide

Set up Helpshift MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke Helpshift tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="Helpshift Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze Helpshift data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct Helpshift access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent Helpshift transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="Helpshift Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Helpshift data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Helpshift access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent Helpshift transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
    print(result)
