Can I search for tickets with specific tags through the agent?

Yes. The `search_tickets` tool supports the full Zendesk advanced search syntax. You can search by tags, status, type, and more (e.g., `tags:billing status:pending`), making it easy to perform complex filtering via chat.

How do I see the latest comments on a specific support ticket?

You can use the `get_ticket_details` tool. Provide the unique numeric ticket ID, and your agent will return the full metadata, including the ticket description and the most recent public or internal comments.

Is it possible to see all my available support macros via chat?

Absolutely. Use the `list_available_macros` tool to retrieve a list of all active support macros (canned responses) configured in your Zendesk account, helping you verify your team's standard reply templates.

Zendesk + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Zendesk MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Zendesk tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
