Perplexity

Pull live support tickets into your code editor

The `list_requests` tool fetches active customer issues directly into Cursor so you can debug problems using actual production complaints. You write code alongside the exact ticket summaries and keys your users are submitting. Instead of switching back and forth to Jira, your Cursor agent calls `get_request` to view full descriptions and custom fields. This lets you write fixes against real-world bug reports without leaving your file.

Inspect service desks and queues while debugging

The `list_queues` tool displays unassigned tickets and backlog counts from your support desks directly inside the Cursor chat. You instantly see which urgent bugs need your attention before you start your sprint. The agent also runs `get_service_desk` to verify portal configurations and branding details. This helps you understand the specific environment and context of the support queue you are investigating.

Use this MCP Server to match code to customer accounts

The `list_organizations` tool maps JSM business entities directly to the code or configurations you are editing in Cursor. You can quickly verify which customer groups are experiencing issues. By pairing this with `list_customers`, the agent identifies the exact users affected by a bug. This makes it easy to write targeted tests or custom patches for specific client setups.
