Details
From the project READMEDeskpro MCP by usefulapi
Use Deskpro from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — search tickets, people, organizations and knowledgebase articles, and create tickets and replies. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Deskpro credentials.
Live endpoint: https://deskpro.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/deskpro
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://deskpro.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http deskpro https://deskpro.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"deskpro": {
"url": "https://deskpro.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Deskpro credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/deskpro/
On first connect you'll provide your Deskpro helpdesk URL (subdomain or full https address) and an API key (Admin → Apps & Integrations → API Keys, id:code format).
They're validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
