Yeah, just run listdepartments. That tool returns every category used in your support desk, giving you the unique IDs needed to create new tickets or assign agents.

Update ticket status instantly

You can change a ticket's state or reassign it using the `update_ticket` tool. This lets your agent client move a case from 'Open' to 'Closed' or hand it off to another worker without manual steps. It only passes the fields you need, so you don't risk overwriting unrelated data. It just updates what needs changing.

Respond and add notes live

When an agent replies, use `add_reply` to send HTML content visible in the customer portal. For internal context—like escalation details or follow-up thoughts—the `add_note` tool keeps those messages private to your team. This separation is key; customers never see notes you're just adding for internal collaboration.

Check customer and account history

Before responding, the agent needs context. Call `get_ticket` to review a full ticket history or use `get_contact` to pull up basic customer details quickly. If you're in B2B support, `list_accounts` shows which company owns that contact.

Setup guide

Set up Zoho Desk MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
ai + @modelcontextprotocol/sdk packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies

Run npm install ai @modelcontextprotocol/sdk plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Create the Streamable HTTP transport

Use StreamableHTTPClientTransport with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and use tools

Call mcpClient.tools() to auto-discover all Zoho Desk tools. Pass them directly to generateText() or streamText() — no manual schema definitions needed.
4

Works with any model provider

Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK provider — Anthropic, Google, Mistral. The MCP tools work identically across all supported models.

index.ts

import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from "ai";
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp";
import { generateText } from "ai";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp")
);

const mcpClient = await createMCPClient({ transport });
const tools = await mcpClient.tools();

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  tools,
  prompt: "List recent Zoho Desk transactions",
});

console.log(text);
await mcpClient.close();
