MCP support
An MCP server that exposes Vision Helpdesk ticket and client tools to MCP clients, including read and write operations. Writes require explicit confirmation; ticket creation and replies disable customer email by default.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEVision Helpdesk MCP by usefulapi
Connect your assistant at https://vision-helpdesk.usefulapi.io/mcp.
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://vision-helpdesk.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http vision-helpdesk https://vision-helpdesk.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": {
"vision-helpdesk": {
"url": "https://vision-helpdesk.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 Vision Helpdesk credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/vision-helpdesk/
Enter your public HTTPS helpdesk address and an admin or staff API access token (vis_txttoken). Ask your helpdesk administrator for the token if you do not already have one. Your role needs API Access permission, and the vendor's Starter plan does not include the REST API.
Use the URL of your hosted helpdesk or your publicly reachable installation, including its folder if applicable. The connector sends your token only to that address and does not follow API redirects.
Every write requires explicit confirmation. Ticket creation and replies disable customer email by default. Internal tickets stay private and cannot include client recipients or customer email flags.

New to MCP?
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.
