Short answer

How can my AI manage HelpCrunch chats?

Your AI uses this MCP to pull chat histories, send replies, and change ticket statuses. You get a direct line from your chat window to your agent's reasoning.

Chat outcomes

Where your chats land.

The AI moves data between your chat window and your agent's workspace.

READ

Full chat context

The AI pulls recent messages so it knows exactly what the customer just said. You get a clear picture of the conversation history.

REPLY

Direct chat responses

Your agent sends text directly back to the customer. This keeps the conversation moving without you typing every word.

STATUS

Updated ticket states

The AI marks conversations as resolved or open. Your HelpCrunch dashboard stays accurate as the work gets done.

HUMAN

Handover to you

When a chat gets too complex, the AI leaves the ticket open for you. You take over exactly where the agent left off.

The workflow

What your AI does when a chat arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of reading and responding so you can focus on the hard problems.

  1. Find the chat

    The AI looks through your active HelpCrunch conversations to find the right person to help.

  2. Read the history

  3. Send a reply

    The agent writes a response and pushes it straight into the chat window for the customer to see.

    send_chat_message

  4. Close the loop
