Quickly Log Customer Issues via MCP Server

Need to document a new customer problem? Use `zoho_create_case` to log everything. You just need the subject, and you can specify the priority (High, Medium, Low), how they reached out (Phone, Email, Web, etc.), and the main reason for the issue. This tool lets your AI client handle ticket creation in Zoho CRM with minimal input. It’s perfect when a user needs to log an immediate complaint or support request while you're talking to them.

Audit Knowledge Base Content

Don't waste time hunting for existing answers. Run `zoho_search_solutions` and your agent pulls matching articles from the Zoho CRM knowledge base. It returns titles, status, and content, so you know if that documentation already exists. Alternatively, if you need to check what solutions are available in general, `zoho_list_solutions` gives you a full list of every article's title and publication status.

Track Open Support Tickets

Know exactly where the support queue stands? Use `zoho_list_cases` to get a rundown of all open tickets. You see the subject, status (New/Assigned/Closed), priority, origin channel, and who owns it. If you're looking for one specific ticket among hundreds, run `zoho_search_cases`. It searches by keyword or subject, finding that exact customer issue fast.
