Frequently asked questions
How do I reply to a customer conversation using the AI?
You can use the add_reply tool. Just provide the Conversation ID and the body of your message, and the agent will send it to the customer via FreeScout.
Can I update the status or assignee of a ticket?
Yes! Use the update_conversation tool. You can change the status (active, pending, closed, spam) or provide an assignee_id to route the ticket to a specific team member.
Is it possible to add internal notes that the customer won't see?
Absolutely. Use the add_note tool to post internal comments on a conversation. These are visible to your team in FreeScout but are never sent to the customer.

Import createMCPClient from @ai-sdk/mcp and pass the server URL. The SDK discovers all tools and provides typed TypeScript interfaces for each one.
Can I use MCP tools in Edge Functions?
Yes. The AI SDK is fully edge-compatible. MCP connections work on Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and similar runtimes.
Does it support streaming tool results?
Yes. The SDK provides streaming primitives like useChat and streamText that handle tool calls and display results progressively in the UI.
