Details

From the project README

Kayako MCP by usefulapi

Use Kayako from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — browse cases and replies, look up customers and organizations, search the help center, and create, update or reply to cases. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Kayako credentials.

Live endpoint: https://kayako.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/kayako

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://kayako.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http kayako https://kayako.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kayako": {
      "url": "https://kayako.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 Kayako credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/kayako/

On first connect you'll provide your Kayako instance name (the part before .kayako.com) plus an agent email and password. 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.
