FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.

05

Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?

Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.

06

How do I list all connected MCP servers?

Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
