Automate Case Creation via MCP Server

When a new ticket comes in, you need to log it immediately. Use `zoho_create_case` to create the record in Zoho CRM. You'll specify the subject line and all necessary details like priority (High/Medium/Low) or the origin channel. This tool ensures every developer on your team uses the same process to document a new customer issue, maintaining consistency across your codebase.

Audit and Find Knowledge Articles

Need documentation for a feature? Run `zoho_search_solutions` to check the Zoho CRM knowledge base. It returns matching articles by keyword, saving time searching through internal wikis. If you just want a full count of existing content, use `zoho_list_solutions`. This gives titles and status updates across all published solutions.

Check Support Ticket Status

Before writing code that assumes ticket data exists, check the queue. Use `zoho_list_cases` to get a summary of open support tickets—including subject, status, and owner. Need one specific ticket? `zoho_search_cases` finds it by keyword or subject across your team's active issues.
