Manage B2B support tickets inside Claude Desktop

The `list_issues` tool pulls your unresolved support tickets directly into your local workspace. Your agent reads the raw ticket data, reviews the customer's history, and drafts replies without requiring you to open a browser tab. When you need to update a status or add internal notes, the `update_issue` tool modifies the record instantly. This lets you run your entire triage queue from the desktop app using simple keyboard commands.

Fetch customer context with this MCP Server

The `get_account` tool retrieves critical account metadata, contract tiers, and company details during a live chat. Having this context prevents your agent from sending generic replies to high-value enterprise clients. You can also run `list_accounts` to scan your entire customer directory for active accounts. The agent cross-references these records with open tickets to prioritize work based on actual account value.

Draft and send replies using Claude Desktop

The `reply_to_issue` tool sends written responses directly back to your customer through the Pylon API. Your agent analyzes the historical thread using `get_issue_messages` to maintain a consistent, helpful tone. If the customer asks a technical question, the agent queries `list_articles` to pull verified documentation. This setup ensures every response is grounded in your actual knowledge base rather than random training data.
