Zendesk MCP Server
by amygomes944
Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZENDESK_EMAIL | No | The Zendesk user email paired with the API key. Deprecated API token authentication: still works but Zendesk is retiring API tokens. | |
| ZENDESK_API_KEY | No | The Zendesk API key. Deprecated API token authentication: still works but Zendesk is retiring API tokens. | |
| ZENDESK_CLIENT_ID | No | The Identifier of the public OAuth client registered in Admin Center (Apps and integrations > APIs > OAuth clients). Setting this enables OAuth authentication, which takes precedence over API token authentication. | |
| ZENDESK_SUBDOMAIN | No | Your Zendesk subdomain, e.g. `acme` for https://acme.zendesk.com | |
| ZENDESK_TOKEN_FILE | No | Location of the stored OAuth tokens. Override it to store tokens elsewhere, for example a Docker volume. The file holds live credentials and is created 0600 inside a 0700 directory. | $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/zendesk-mcp/tokens.json |
| ZENDESK_OAUTH_SCOPES | No | OAuth scopes to request, which cap what any token from this client can request. Narrow them if you do not need every tool — for read-only access, `tickets:read users:read hc:read`. | tickets:read tickets:write ticket_attachments:read users:read hc:read |
| ZENDESK_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI | No | The OAuth redirect URI. Change it if port 4567 is in use, or if the client is registered with a different redirect URL. Must match a redirect URL on the client exactly. | http://localhost:4567/callback |
